"Raise your hand if you have iTunes...
Raise your hand if you have a FireWire port...
Raise your hand if you have both...
Raise your hand if you have $400 to spend on a cute Apple device...
There is Apple's market. Pretty slim, eh? I don't see many sales in the future of iPod.

I guess 100 ipods a minute 24/7 just isn't enough. Let alone 39 million.
I just got my ipod mini fixed. By the time I sent it, had them look at it, and get it returned to me it had only been 3 days ( They overnighted evrything). Much faster than anywhere else I have had a repair done. (best buy....grrrr!)
I have a question and maybe i just don't know enough but instead of handing out contracts to private companies why couldn't they use some programmers from the army or some other government resource? I am sure there are some great minds working for our gov't that could do it instead of some private comany.
It's almost like halo 2's problems. You buy it, find a lot of bugs, then Bungie patches the heck out of it until it gets fixed and all of the consumers are happy. They don't mind patching it after they make all of the $ale$ and money.
I was being sarcastic, when you get a life and learn to read between the lines come back and talk to me. I don't need someone coming after me just because they haven't been able to pick a fight today.
This is my thought, make the internet free, let google run this new free internet, know every single thing I am thinking about, own all my thoughts (as long as they let me use them freely) and get over it.:(
I mean that's what they want right?
I really just mean over all. Good question..sonce they transfered ipod manufacturing to china the product did suffer form cheaper materials etc...to keep up with demand. I really would like to a product that keeps its structural ( parts, buttons, etc. I am not good with words...) integrity throughout the years its manufactured not lessen. I have a big problem with companies always finding cheaper solutions...(even though I know they must do this for demand and supply reasons) but I like it old fashoined where you buy it and it worked almost a life time, not 6 months. But technlogy can't be old fashoined it must innovate to stay alive...I'll be in heaven when I find a peice of electronic tech (like a laptop) that I stomp on, run over, leave in the rain, throw out a window and still work like new......
Ya know I am going to stick my foot in this conversation and just say that I was suprised by the xbox. My current xbox runs great and I love it. No crashes or freezes and some of the best networked console games on the planet. I think I actually could get into microsoft becoming a hardware maker(computer, not just consoles) and software maker. If they followed the apple model and made their own hardware they might have something going for them. Who says apple wouldn't be just as buggy if dell or gateway was making their computers as well? The xbox 360 will be a great pc that will run microsoft hardware and software great. I mean I have left m xbox on for days at a time and never had to restart it. Remeber there is no ctr+alt+del on this system and some gamers will play for 10+ hours at a time!
Sony in all is a pretty good company for me when it comes to, t.v.'s, cameras,speakers, and audio recievers... there's really not much more than that....I have them to thank for the thousands (exageration) of different types of useless media on the market today with the excepetion of some....I like apple for its hardware and software because they make the right choices for me and I don't have to feel like I need to look around for something better. We have to remember that most of the general consumers of technology are not up to date with ogg, atrac, aac, etc. Apple makes it easy...pop your cd in, find it in a file, load it into itunes, sync with ipod...it sounds good enough to them that they feel they don't need to go to anything else....

"My current machine is an Apple PowerMac G4 Quicksilver filled with an A64 system." I guess mac users do know how to build simple pc's
Its amazing how apple innovations are now almost something we cannot go without. In this case usb.
I think google groups is the oldest in beta actually.

"imho poorly named Mac Book Pro" Thats what happens when you switch to the x86 architecture. Anyoynoe see a intel inside sticker on the macs?
What can you expect from a gateway 2000?
So less is more money?
Wow suddenly like 30 million people with Ipods are going to switch from itunes to some new microsoft program. Gasp! Justin Timberlake? Gasp!

more of sarcasm from my part on the "free music downloads"....I download all of my music off itunes, haven't touched a cd since itunes 1.0
Free legal downloads and I didn't even have a root kit....
whats google?
