Apple
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
I got my new iPod today.
160GB classic. I am going to store movies for the kids on this thing for the long car trips.
Because I have already fielded this question I will explain…So why did I get an Apple product if I am so down on Apple products?
I am not down on Apple products, Apple makes nice stuff. I am just down on Apple Kulture. For the most part I don’t care to use a product because I want to be one of the kool kidz. I use a product because it works.
Simple put, the iPod is the best MP3 player of those I have tried. With other units I could hear the hard drive spinning and it would effect the quality of the sound output. I had a Dell MP3 player for a while until it crashed so hard I drove over it with my car and then threw it into Lake Superior. After that experience I figured I would just pony up and buy the one that everyone used because it worked. Since then no problems.
Except the fact that the battery duration on my previous iPod only lasted about 2 hours and it somehow got infected with a virus that would keep it from synching with iTunes. Other than that it was awesome.
So why don’t I just get a iPhone then?
Because I am not a total douche.
I use T-Mobile service, AT&T is horrible. Plus, while I was at the Apple store buying a hard shell case for my new iPod the place was full of people who were claiming that their iPhone “didn’t work.” If my phone does not work I want to be able to fix it myself, thus Windows Mobile. I don’t want to have to go to a store and stand in line with a bunch of other disgruntled douche bags because I can’t tweak a system that I am totally locked out of.
Plus I hate those smarmy little iPhone icons all over the freaking place…
hard news
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008The Italian ANSA news agency has reported that cyclist Ricardo Riccò, who tested positive for a new form of EPO, following the 4th stage of the Tour de France, has admitted to having doped in preparation for the French tour.
Since the Riccò controversy, the team’s title sponsor has withdrawn from the sport but the squad will continue to operate under the joint sponsorship of the Scott-USA bicycle company and Mexican meatpacker, American Beef, based in Chihuahua. The company supplies patties to Burger King, one of its primary customers, and to Wal-Mart and Costco under various brand names.
American Beef from Mexico?
