iPod video

Virtually all of the rumors were correct. Apple has revved the iPod, adding video and other goodness, which I will be ordering today.
The new iPod has a 2.5″, 320 x 240, 260K color screen, supports playback of MPEG4 and H.264 video (with TV-out!) as well as the standard audio and photo playback of its […]

Apple stock was up $1.10 after very favorable reviews to the newest iPod, the nano, revealed yesterday by Steve Jobs. It replaces the hard-drive-based Mini, and is now offered in 2GB and 4GB flash memory-based versions, in black (yes black) and white! Black is already far outselling white on Amazon.com which is not a big […]

Check out these really nice messenger bags by Bumbakpaks. They have a number of really nice features, including multiple pockets in and out, waterproof lining, quick access zippers, and multiple side pockets.

Body Bouncer (NSFW)

There’s really not much to say about the Body Bouncer.
It’s your basic technologically advanced sex toy.
Years of research and study have gone into this product to ensure your lazy ass that it won’t have to put any effort into sex at all.

apple “reinvents” the mouse

For years and years and years, people, including Mac fans, have bitched about Steve Jobs’ insistence on the single-button mouse. CTRL-click has been around on Mac for too long to not simply add another button to handle the context sensitive functions. Then the scroll wheel came along and Apple mice really started looking bad, even […]

freeminimac.com

When Gratis Networks starting giving away iPods last year, I was skeptical. I also had an iPod already, so it never interested me. When some, including Kevin Rose, tested it out, the indeed received their free iPods after referring 5 friends who signed up for “offers.”
Well, the same company is now offering free Mac […]

how to kill a polar bear without a rifle

Unusual topic, I know, but I meant to post this weeks ago because the technique is so clever. Gruesome… but clever. I guess thousands of years in a frozen tundra can teach a people how to be resourceful with what they have. Read this awesome bit of low-tech ingenuity.
