New Ipod Goodness


Recommended Posts

i occasionally get that rainbow coloured effect but its not permanent :huh: i will be sat at home using my ipod and i dont notice it even if im looking for the rainbow screen effect its not there, but if im out and about i tedn to notice it then ;) what causes that raindow effect anyway ? :wacko:

  lol, sell th ipod and all the accessories and buy a 20GB 3g.

youll get a smaller, lighter, cooler better ipod, and several hundred in your pocket.

you can spend that several hundred on songs.

No he won't. The battery life is worse, the 3g's weigh more and have larger dimensions. Not to mention any 3G now will almost certainly be a refurb or second-hand of some sort, carrying no Apple warranty, except maybe AppleCare.

Electronics dont work like antiques. The longer you take to sell it, the less the item will go for. Your ipod is not a collectors item and it will never be. The U2 edition cant even be considered a collectors item because its widely sold everywhere.

As for people saying sell it and get a new player, i'd have to agree, but if hes so excited over it then let him be. Personally I'd never waste money on an ipod, especially not an ipod photo or the u2 ipod. Its all just a marketing scheme.

Anyways, congrats on getting all that stuff, i guess...?

sigh, i wish people would lay off the fashion/trend ###### argument against the iPod. sure some people may use it as a fashion item (ie. fashion conscious girls and trendy guys) but the majority just want a great and arguably the best mp3 player available.

style and usability in electronics is a product of good design. apple just capitalized whereas samsung, iriver, et al. continue to strive towards it. sony is almost there with their newest offerings...

just because the iPod has a lot of marketing behind it and high market share doesn't make it trendy. using that logic, consider windows. where are all the "you're all trend ###### using an inferior operating system when you could use nix or osx instead" statements?

if you want the iPod, get it. if you don't just get something else and be happy.

Some of you need to chill out. He got an iPod and is excited to show it off. It obviously meets his needs as far as portable music goes, so why bash it? As long as he is happy with it, then kudos to him. Your personal opinion of the iPod will have no affect on his useage or joy and really only serves as a poor attempt at beating down Apple's often "elitist" attitude with an elitist attitude of your own.

    • A shame it don't allow people to bypass the MS account, I will stick to using Rufus.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. Source: Microsoft 365 Admin Center
    • not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
    • Zen Browser 1.21b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 151.0.4 Added 'Space Routing', a new feature that allows you to route links to a specific Space. To get started, click on the three dots in your Space name and click on 'Space Routing Settings'. Fixes Fixed extension-opened tabs not being created with the correct container (#14100) Fixed a bug with the Boosts editor having the wrong theme colors (#14099) Improved overflowing space icons being inaccessible and improved the feeling when hovering over them (#13747) Other minor bug fixes and improvements Download: Zen Browser | 89.8 MB (Open Source) Download: Zen Browser ARM64 | Other Operating Systems View: Zen Browser Home Page | Screenshots 1 | 2 | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I am currently using a 4tb stick in combination with a 4tb 9100 Pro. It's only been six months since I bought them but the 990 has already dropped 1% health. Fingers crossed it doesn't go any lower.
