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.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.

    • Microsoft fired the team and replaced them with AI and this is what you get.
