well, i have a 3g 20gb ipod, and i like it, but whenever i see the photo i mostly like how it shows album art. I say ipod photo. but if you are willing to stray away from apple, check out the iAudio M3 (no screen but remote with screen) or the iAudio M5 (nice color screen) both are about the size of an ipod

I agree. The iAudio M3 is a very nice product. I'm listening to music on it right now, and the output is very high quality. It also supports a wide variety of audio files.

I haven't tried either the M5 or the iPod Photo, so I can't give you any sort of comparison.

If you are able to dish out a lot of cash into a DAP then I suggest you get an iAudio X5.

Take a look at iRiver products instead, H320 or H340

It's colour, does Photo and plays video, and cheaper than the standard iPlod

And it's better quality, and it plays Ogg Vorbis, WAV and other formats Apple refuse to move to, and it's not DRM locked*, and it can encode MP3 on the fly, and it has a built in FM radio, and it doesn't need a computer, and it doesn't need software like the iPod, and you can plug digital cameras straight into it (USB on the go), and it works on Any PC without pre-installation, and it works like plugging in a USB hard drive (no special format, it's FAT32 so works on anything).

Oh, and it's cheaper.

Don't follow the rest of the sheep, move to the dark side ;)

(* if you don't know what DRM is, wait till you buy the iPlod and kick yourself you wished you'd bought a iRiver)

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.

      I don't believe them that anyone using threads, at least meaningfully. It's the same thing for Facebook, people just don't engage with Meta platforms like they are thinking. This isn't 2006.
