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 [...]

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 [...]

Most computers tend to last only 2-3 years. It’s an annoying fact, but that doesn’t make it any less true. My previous computer was a Compaq Presario, which lasted about three years. My current machine, a Gateway 835GM, has been kicking since a few days after the release of the sixth Harry Potter book (July 16th 2005 for the uninformed). How much longer will it last? No idea. At random times (read: the worst possible moment) everything locks-up, and then goes blank. It’s been happening for a few months now, and my attempts to pin-down the problem have been unsuccessful. Who knows how much time is left until it quits.

It’s pretty much definite that Apple’s going to update their iPod lineup sometime from September to November. What are they going to do? Here are my predictions:
They will start using OS X to power the iPods.
The iPod Shuffle will stay as-is, though the price may drop.
The 30GB and 80GB iPods will have MultiTouch screens on [...]

The iPhone…what exactly is it? Is it a phone? Is it a portable web device? Is it an iPod? It’s all of those, and then some.
Apple has given us a device that shows us a glimpse of the future. What lies ahead? Only Apple knows, but I can hazard a few guesses.

It’s out. The new iMac is here.
Pretty cool isn’t it? The design is the same as the old version, though it’s silvery instead of white, and it looks a little thinner. The color’s nice; it’s not in-your-face METAL, but a subtle aluminum-type effect.
The base machine is $1,199 with a 20-inch display, a 2GHZ Core 2 [...]

Allegedly this YouTube video was made by a Microsoft employee who was later fired. It features Steve Ballmer, the CEO of Microsoft as an "iPod Silhouette", and some anti-Zune stuff near the end. Not bad work, though Steve Ballmer obviously didn’t thin so. Link to video.
