This is awesome. Because this weekend, I watched 2 episodes of The Nine on my iPod on my way to Boston and totally drained the battery.

Makes the iPod not very effective as an alternative to the DVD player.

Word to the wise: back up frequently
The HDD in my 3 year old G4 PowerBook died yesterday. I do a weekly backup so I only lost 3 days or so of crap, but let this be a lesson to you: back up your computers!

a friend of mine bought a MB Pro the same day I did -- 12 30 06-- identical to mine -- 15 inch w 2.33 and 160 GB HD.

He has fried 4 hard drives and is getting a new computer. So far I have been OK. I think that he moves it around while the disk is asleep -- supposedly a no no.

I bought a MB (non-pro) as a replacement. I actually much prefer the smaller chassis.

Exactly. Very happy so far. And very happy that I backup on a regular basis...

This sort of confirms my theory that, while Macs in general are good machines, every so often they send out a lemon. When that happens, you're fucked. It will never work right.

They have determined that there is a relationship between shitty BMWs and work at the factory done on the days after drinking holidays.

What's the excuse for Apple? Slave labor not allowed to pee for too long?

iPod Touch
If they price this thing right it's going to be a killer device...

ETA: it's basically an iPhone, complete with WiFi, but without the cellular radio. Killer...

Fuck. The fact that they can drop the price of the iphone from $599 to $399 shows what kind of fat profit there is in there.
