It shows pictures of disk drive comparisons of 50 years ago and today. Pretty cool stuff.

I can't even think what technology will bring in the next 50 years ed:

Truth. Microsoft will patent the WinStick shortly thereafter, with Apple coming out with a painted white iPoke that costs twice as much.

I'm here all week, folks. Try the prime rib.

was just in a discussion about this today. check out this new shit from apple (what sparked the conv on tech).

That's fucking slick.

i thought i read that picture was a "fake", judas. Is that actually confirmed? If so, that's pretty cool....anti-apple or not.

Judas is a fruit.



: iTunes 7 is out and it's kinda kool.

ya check out your fag gizmodo coleman they have all the new gay apple shit.

ipod is too expensive IMO

i think so . i think they announced it today.



(lol pyro)

more hot apple shit :

: this is a very awesome thing. i bet other companies are kicking themselves in the balls for not coming up with it first. i cant tell you how many times i wish i had an easier way to view mm i dl on tv.

i'd hit it

the one on the right is almost as big as my penis

I was just going by the price of a 2 gig nano for 200 bucks or the one I bought for 130 and didnt see any difference

wtf

Creative Zen 20 GB Sleek Photo MP3 Player
$166.34



whatd you get btw?

i still can't find anything about that touch ipod. Those pictures were on gizmodo before as rumors but no actual real advertisements. Gizomodo today highlighted the new apple stuff which was that TV media thing and then something about a next generation ipod nano.

+1...good boy rock:

http://reviews.cnet.com/SanDisk_Sansa_e ... 44065.html

it was 140 on sale for 130, I had 10% off then a 100 dollar bestbuy giftcard

so I got it for 20 bucks with tax

its only 2 meg, but its expandable and I just recycle music in and out when I need. if the battery dies you can buy a new one from them from 20 bucks and replace it. I play 8 hours of music and kill about 1/4 of the battery

was looking at that one ... its a pretty sharp player.







: unless you plan to store your whole mp3 collection on the thing i dont see why youd want one over 2/4 gigs. ive never filled my 4 gig one up, ever.

30 gig might be nice since you "could" store a shitload on it at a time and shuffle. it starts being a real pain in the ass rotating and deciding what you want to put on it.

True but like you said I put two gigs of music on it and have 24 full albums. I might get through 4-5 in a day and then recycle something new on it.

biggest pain in the ass was editing the tags on all my music so it shows correctly and then I got the album art to show up.

I also figured out how to upload playlists and then it auto dl's the music on that playlist for me

the screen on it is pretty damn 1337 too.

that flip ipod phone looks pretty sweet, i would get it.

Thats why i got the 30 GB, everysong i have goes on it


btw that iPhone shit would be amazing, MP3 layer + cell phone literally in one. and not a gay ass mp3 player like in phones today


also wtf @ backside control, thats fucking amazing if that happens

I spotted this on the BBC News website...

:D

But seriously though... we're nearing the Singularity: I wouldn't be surprised if it happened in our lifetime. If it doesn't, we're missing it by a few years at MOST.
