I was addicted to Bawls for a few years until I decided to cut back. I started eating Altoids instead whenever I felt the craving for caffeine. I ended up healthier and eat better, unaddicted to caffeine, and grew 2 cavities.
I'm just saying that after nearly 2 years of the torture and abuse I've given my iPod, the fact that it still functions at all is a miracle. Getting 8.5 hours of battery life with all features turned on is what amazes me.
In the interest of science, I will turn off the EQ and SoundCheck tomorrow and run it from a full charge til death, and post how long it lasts.
Now I'm curious to see if it'll still hold 10 hours under "ideal" conditions.
I have a 1st gen 10GB that is 2 years old, I beat it, drop it, drain the battery, do 5% charges, 95% charges, it's plugged in 50% of the time, and in use the other 50% of the time. My iPod NEVER sees a day of rest, never leaves my side, and pretty much never is inactive.
It runs my work stereo, my house stereo, and my car stereo. Literally, it's ALWAYS ON.
Last week I turned it on at 9am, and ran it with Sound Check and EQ's turned ON, and it ran until 5:30 where it politely told me it was about to die, then died about 2 minutes later. I'd say 8 1/2 hours is fine out of a 2 year old machine that gets abused as hard as I treat it.
Or should I be a bitch like everyone else and complain because I'm not getting the advertised 10 hours?
Well I'm extatic about this. I'm not a huge fan of making web pages, but I have to do it quite often for school. I do all of my sites in raw html to ease the boredom, and I use BBEdit exclusively. Being able to preview right in the program will make it that much easier to get my pages right faster.
Thank you Bare Bones. I have a feeling my productivity just went WAY up with this upgrade!

I think this thread of comments is hard proof that the Matrix series was a success. Some here hated it, some here loved it. Doesn't matter. Almost all of us saw it, and we're spending countless hours reading explainations, writing our own, and posting comments like this.
The makers of the Matrix set out to make people think, and we're looking at proof of their success.

I'd pour bouncy balls in there and video tape the insuing chaos. The perpetual motion created by a bag of bouncy balls at mach 5 would be enough to destroy half the continent... or at least the inside of my wind tunnel.

Too bad, because I heard Apple's going out of business.
Again...
Any idea of what Apple's current earnings are right now?
More than I make.
...because it contains a 17" CRT. They decided to keep the cost down by eliminating the LCD.
There can't possibly be any life on mars.
The club scene is a barren landscape, and the whole place is just one big red light district.
True. Close enough.
This is just a huge amount of free advertising for Lindows.

And since when did Apple ever SELL investments? They seem to buy and buy and buy.
Oh, wait. Aren't they going out of business? Maybe we can pick up Pixar cheap!
The real question is... Has anyone gotten Linux to boot on it yet?
Or better yet, imagine a Beowulf cluster of these things!

I've been hit by a Honda Accord and a Dodge Ram.
The Accord nearly shattered my shins, the Ram just bruised my back.
Smaller isn't better.

Damn Altoids are half sugar!
How many idiots are going to say "repost!"
Honestly, you guys are about as creative as a metronome.

You have windows? What are those?
I have to walk all the way to the entrance of my cave to see the weather.
It's my monthly exercise.
Oh yeah, in case you forgot.
Apple is going out of business.
They expect to file chapter 11 sometime next week.
Again.
This information may or may not be entirely accurate, maybe.
When you wave your hand too close to the top of the tank, do the fish all go to sleep spontaneously?
And are the fish upgradable, or do they maintain the Cube's original business model of "utterly useless in 4 years".
Getting glowing fish isn't hard.
All I did was install a small nuclear powered filter/circulator I bought from this Russian guy for 2 cases of Vodka.
A week later, I had this badass glowing green fish with 3 eyes.
how's my zigging? diak 1.800.move.zig
I want my money back!
Whenever I run into another iPod owner, all they ever ask is "what size is it?" No one ever offers to swap a little toonage.
And I bet these are the same people who say size doesn't matter.
This zig brought to you by Cats.

I thought I dropped into a coma, woke up, and had missed all of 10.3, as well as 10.4, 10.4.1, etc...
Then I read it, and got depressed... cuz now it means I have class in an hour.
...and entire testing staff gets fired for trying it out. Cats make excellent snipers.
I'm a photographer, so generally my clients expect me to take photographs at work. Never been fired for it yet.
