1.) Replace Earbuds with significantly better headphones (more or less... everything else). 2.) Deal with Apple's AAC codec. Sure its "the devil", but its actually a documented and superior standard. (http://www.apple.com/mpeg4/aac/) 3.) Throw out your playlists, throw out your worries about what's going to be played next. PDA type functionality, a display, and solitare aren't going to be missed. That's why we have Gameboys and PDAs. 4.) Enjoy.
Quote Bill Machrone ("Shuffle's Got a Secret", PC Magazine, April 12, 2005):
Apple's new iPod Shuffle has stellar audio performance...
...The square wave contains the fundamental frequency and a theoretically infinite number of harmonics... Square waves are also the most demanding kind of wave for an amplifier to reproduce accuractely...
...All of the [tested] players except the iPod shuffle showed deterioration of the wave...
...The iPod shuffle's near-erfect rendering of the square wave means that it uses push-pull output instead of single-ended, capacitor-coupled output... technologically, its fascinating...
Yup. The Shuffle lowers the bar for "Apple quality".
I speak for all of us audiophiles when I say this.
They do from Sony and especially MS too. They don't want "english grad student"s to start making games for their system, because then people can complain that platform xyz has alot of shitty games.
Sony and shitty games. Hmmm... Number of PS2 Games: 2 Million. Number of not-shitty games... 3? 4?.....
...I'll admit that the N64's good game selection was a bit anemic...
Quality, not quantity. How many hours did you spend playing Goldeneye? Star Fox 64? Mario Kart 64? Sure, there were only a few hundred n64 games, but how many of those friggin' rocked?
Ummm. Its Gran Turismo. Has the game really shown any real improvements since the original? (and I like the Gran Turismo games... but... ummm... can you say stale franchise?)

How to buy an iPod Shuffle

Lucky? Right.
There's something called manual focus and aperture. Do we know what they are?
Seriously, if you can learn your camera's inner workings, you can grab great shots from a low res camera.
I've got a 1.3 MP consumer grade camera, and I print professional quality 5x7s.
Astounding as it may sound, if you understand how your camera works, your pictures look good! *GASP*
Actually... for those of us who are talented enough, a 2MP camera can throw down some high quality 8 x 10 prints.
I suppose not everyone knows how to flip off the autofocus, though...

Shut up.

YAY! A SYSTEM WITHOUT EA! To whom do I make this check out?...
Effect?... Affect? English 101, anyone?
