Seconded. As much as I would like to believe, I don't buy this at all. The photos just don't have that eighties look about them. They would have to have been scanned to exist in this form now, but they look first generation digital to me...
Right, but in order for him to realize a profit, there would have to be at least one person in the world dumb enough to pay thirty grand for a virtual plot of land.
Oh, wait...
Actually, the artist's royalty comes out of the record label's cut. The amount the artist gets is dependent on the contract they have with their label. Thanks to the marvellous CD Baby, I (the artist) quite surprisingly get paid $0.65 per download.
Actually, I have broken an iPod hard drive simply by knocking it off an ordinary desk onto a slate floor. Stupid thing to do, I know, but I'm sure not uncommon. I was looking for an excuse to upgrade to a 40GB model anyway, which I did. I accept that iPods won't break under normal use (jogging, snowboarding, etc.) but the hard drive is far from indestructible.
For me, the problem with the mini iPod is that (as Jobs stated) they're going after the flash market. But they're doing it with a hard-drive player.
For people who are concerned about using the iPod in a high impact environment, this doesn't bring anything new. Personally, I think if they'd introduced an even smaller form-factor mini iPod with a 1GB flash card for about $150, they would have flown, and still be aimed at the high end of the market.
Never before has my credit card stayed firmly in my wallet at the end of a Jobs keynote. There wasn't a single thing I was interested in - it saved me thousands!
I believe they're starting to fear the worst now - they've just discovered a giant hole behind the bins and suspect it might have gone in there. There'll be someone in the line of sight to check on it tomorrow evening, and then again next tuesday - we can only hope...
I believe they were all female in JP. The flaw with that plan was that it would only take one rogue male to be introduced, and you'd have a load of pregnant females, and one very tired but extremely happy male.
If it was the other way round, and you introduced one female into a male population, she'd either get immediately shagged to death, or else she'd die alone in a shady corner because all the males would be scared to talk to her. Either way, the all-male plan seems potentially more effective.
I also own enough to fill a 40GB pod easily, but only regularly listen to about 5GB worth of it on a regular basis. Even so, I did ditch my original 5GB iPod for a new 40GB recently, purely for ease of use purposes.
I keep all of my music on one server, so I can come home in the evening, plug in the 40GB iPod, and have all of my music automatically copied over. With the 5GB, I had to constantly rearrange playlists, and pick and choose which albums I wanted on the iPod... it would be really annoying to suddenly have a craving to hear some album that I hadn't chosen to sync up that day. Not to mention that my server doesn't have a display permanently connected to it, making it all the more inconvenient.
So hi - I'm probably the guy that the 40GB iPod is aimed at. For me, the extra money is justified for simplicity, even though I don't need to be carrying all that music around...

You just know it's down there now. Even if it wasn't already, you just know it started tumbling down there the very moment those words left his lips...

Yeah - you should have used a (squid)-ink jet instead...

So is that a tool for removing malicious software, or a software removal tool that's inherently malicious?
Oh wait - it's from Microsoft... never mind...
or will it be both pissed and pleased?

Well, then you'd just spend your life watching Julia Roberts movies and not worry about it...
Looks like Tom's Hardware has closed early for the holidays this year...

So pretty soon, kids will look at pictures of the soldiers in Iraq and think they're just trying to access each other's networks...

Won't this just mean that a million sexually frustrated male carp will beat the fish-crap out of all the perch and bass instead?
