Simple mathematics, 46 into 16 does not go… Not that I’m not impressed by the iPod Touch, but after speaking to Robyn, it looks like we’re gonna get iPhones once our condo sells (which might be sooner rather than later) and keep my iPod as a joint library, leaving “the best” on our iPhones.
I mean, $399 for a phone/iPod or just a smaller iPod, it’s a no-brainer…
Why I Won’t Be Buying an iPod Touch

World renowned tenor Luciano Pavarotti has died at his home in the northern Italian city of Modena. The singer, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year, was 71.
So a whole slew of new iPods were announced today… I’m starting to get a bit jaded about this product line.

Back when I got my 1st 3g iPod it was the choice of 15gb, 20gb or 30gb… That was it, one model, different capacity, simple. And it only played music, no photos, no videos, no phone calls, hell, it didn’t even have a colour screen, an antiquated concept some 4 years later it seems as now even the Nano does video. When my 5g came out, people were complaining that it’s screen was too small to watch a video on, what’s a Nano screen going to be like?
It just looks like they are squeezing everything they can out of the iPod family, from the Shuffle to the Nano, the “classic” to the Touch as well as the iPhone. Providing everything for everyone, at a cost of course, like an iPhone is now the same price as an iPod Touch, so do you want a phone or double the storage?
I’m not getting a new iPod, it’s not my turn. Robyn’s had a 4g (not the photo version) for 3 years, I’ve had my 5g video for nearly 2 so if anyone gets an iPod it’s her. But now I’m thinking that I want an iPhone, especially since they slashed $200 off of it less than 2 months after the came out… At this rate it’ll be free in 6 months…
The sorry lament of a consumer…

Officials at Nepal’s state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft. Mechanics? Who needs mechanics if you’ve got a couple of goats?

Somewhere, Kevin Federline is laughing. An out-of-shape, out-of-touch Britney Spears delivered what was destined to be the most talked-about performance of the MTV Video Music Awards — but for all the wrong reasons. “Kicking off the show Sunday night with her new single, “Gimme More,” Spears looked bleary and unprepared, much like her recent tabloid exploits on the streets of Los Angeles. She walked through her dance moves with little enthusiasm. It appeared she had forgotten the entire art of lip-synching. And, perhaps most unforgivable given her once-taut frame, she looked embarrassingly out of shape. Even the celebrity-studded audience seemed bewildered. 50 Cent looked at Spears with a confused expression; Diddy, her new best friend, was expressionless. Some comeback.” Comedy GOLD!
