And this is why Apple piss us off

“A day we will never forget”. Oh, great. It’s the Beatles on iTunes. Like anyone who is a fan doesn’t already have a digital copy downloaded from elsewhere. Well done Apple, for perhaps the biggest anti-hype/fail in marketing history.
A look at the iPod Shuffle 4
0The newest iPod Shuffle (4th Generation) is hitting the shops tomorrow and looks great. With such a low starting price of $49, this great gadget is almost a disposable toy. Although I for one am very much against the unstoppable move towards the inevitable throwaway culture technology is headed towards, things do change. Technology moves on so quickly that new models are necessary on a regular basis. But is a new iPod Shuffle really needed? Does it offer anything new?
A look inside the new iPod Shuffle reveals that the only difference between this and the 2nd Gen iPod Shuffle is that the components are much smaller, allowing for the iPod itself to be small enough to be impressive, while allowing for the controls to move back to the device itself, rather than be removed to the headphones as occured with the 3rd Gen More >

On June 25, 2009, Jackson collapsed at a rented home in Holmby Hills in Los Angeles. Attempts at resuscitating him by his personal physician were unsuccessful.
Resuscitation efforts continued both en route to the UCLA Medical Center, and for an hour further after arriving at approximately 1:14 pm (20:14 UTC). He was noted to have already been in cardiac arrest by the paramedics who attended his house. Jackson was announced dead at about 2:26 pm local time (21:26 UTC). Many news organizations were generally very cautious about the initial reports of his death.

Yesterday’s sneak peek at the iPhone 3.0 software update contained little in the way of surprises, but it did serve to underline a key point – when you buy an iPhone, you’re not just buying a piece of kit; you’re buying a platform.
Apple’s strategy seems to be one of constant update and improvement to its products. But in a new strategy, rather than forcing users into a upgrade cycle with the deviceitself, as they always have in the past with numerous iPod updates, the company is now pushing out regular software updates every few months that add new capabilities and functionality to the handset. This strategy is nothing new, as owners of PSPs and PS3s will gladly tell you.
In truth, the improvements coming to iPhone 3.0 are More >
New iPod Shuffle – it talks!
42 years ago
Apple have just released the 3rd generation iPod Shuffle…and it really is tiny.
The new iPod shuffle, the smallest ever, gets around that annoyance with previous versions that meant you had no idea what track was coming next, and no ability to browse the playlist.
This iPod talks to you. With the press of a button, it tells you what song is playing and who’s performing it. It can even tell you the names of your playlists, giving you a new way to navigate your music
Not only is this new iPod Shuffle really small, it is also really big with a 4GB memory allowing you to store up to 1000 songs, and multiple songlists.
So just how small is it?
45.2 mm (1.8″) tall x 7.8 mm (0.3″) thin to be exact.
