Apple quietly released the third generation of their iPod Shuffle line yesterday. Smaller than it’s predecessor, it soon caught the attention of the internet…and not in a good way.
Overwhelmingly, people don’t like it. I agree that it is badly flawed, and I’m surprised that Apple let it out the door.
If you look at a picture of the device, what do you notice missing? Controls! There aren’t any buttons on it. Some designers at Apple decided to move them to the headphone cord.

The rumors were true. The MacBook Air, announced by Steve Jobs yesterday, is the thinnest computer ever. Something tells me it’s is going to be a big seller this year.
Starting at $1799, the Air is so thin it can fit inside one of those yellow envelopes (pictured to the right). It’s tiny, and it’s a full-featured Mac. Well, almost full-featured.
To fit a computer into that tiny package, some compromises were made (as usual with ultraportables).

Apple’s iTunes now has some serious competition from Amazon.com’s online music store. The e-commerce giant’s music store is totally DRM-free, with all four of the major labels onboard. I think it’s safe to say DRM is on the way out.
However, iTunes hasn’t gone totally DRM-free yet. Plenty of their music still carries DRM, and the [...]

The Ultimate MP3 Player doesn’t exist yet. It’s the second-generation iPod Touch.
Apple needs to fix the current bugs, and add some new features. Namely,
A volume switch on the device. Using the touchscreen to control volume can’t work too well.
The ability to download and subscribe to podcasts over Wi-Fi.
Flash support for Safari.
Here’s how I want the [...]

Scores of people have been complaining (Digg users mainly, no surprise there) about the 3D dock in Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard. Well, you whiners are lucky. According to MonkeyBites, there’s an option to use a “classic dock.” It’s not an exact replica of the Tiger dock, but close enough. It has a cool transparent-black [...]

In 2009, the FCC will require that all TV stations cease transmitting in the VHF band they previously occupied. They will move to digital broadcasting, which takes-up much less bandwidth, vacating the “TV Spectrum” for other uses.
What’s the catch? Your TV will become a rather expensive paperweight, as traditional televisions cannot process the digital signals. If you have an HDTV, or a modern digital-ready TV, than you’ll be fine. If not, then you’re options are to either buy a new TV or purchase a converter box that processes the digital signals and feeds them to your antiquated television.

I’ve been migrating my Firefox bookmarks to del.icio.us as of late, but I’ve run into something I don’t like.
Whenever I clear my cache (Ctrl-Shift-Del), which I do often when I work with CSS and JavaScript, I’m logged out of Del.icio.us (which is no big deal, and expected since I’m flushing the cookies). As soon as [...]

Apple’s desktop lineup currently includes
The wimpy $500 Mac Mini
The “all-in-one” iMac
The $2500 Mac Pro
So you have you’re choice of a cheap, and tiny, computer that won’t meet the needs of most power users (let’s see you edit video on a Mini); an “all-in-one” computer with enough for most power users, but little choice in the [...]

Since July, the Sign-Up button on the GMail login page has been changing. The frequency of the changes hasn’t been constant, and there have been a large variety of different styles.
Since July 28, 2007, I have been taking screenshots of the different buttons, and I’m publishing the screen grabs here. It’s kind of fun, seeing [...]

Verizon is suing the FCC over the 700MHz open-access requirements. Verizon says “Imposing any such requirements in the competitive wireless market would reduce the revenue the government will receive from the spectrum auction and limit the introduction of new and innovative wireless services.” Yeah, and I’m Bill Gates. Who cares if the government is receiving [...]
