It was odd Storm, i hate iPods, a lot, but since i have a Mac, and love to listen to my music, had to sell my Creative Zen Vision:M to get an iPod just so i can use iTunes to sync without any 3rd party software etc i was in town, didnt think about getting an iPod, quickly nipped into Currys, and went up to the guy and said i'll take that, got out of the store, was like 'errr i just got an iPod'....Anyway, its a really nice design, small, light weight, seems quite durable. Sound quality, quite poor, but that was expected, since having a Creative and iRiver in the past. It will do me for now :)

how did you manage a free of charge trade in?
Well, I only got my Nano about 2 months ago. So I just brought it in with the reciept and said I wasn't happy with it, and I would like to try the new one instead. Actually first I traded it for a Creative Zen V, but my PC was unable to find the drivers for some reason. I looked on the Creative foums and found this is a somewhat common problem, so I just brought the Creative back and traded it for the new Nano. Even got about $40 store credit :laugh: .

It's very easy to return things at large chain stores. Just be assertive, and if they argue, ask to talk to the manager. I also traded my 1st gen DS for a DS Lite at Wallmart with no reciept :p .

Target and Costco probably have the best return policies around. At Costco, you can literally returns things w/o receipts.

I had heard the same thing of their UK returns policy too. People have attached a receipt to a back of a microwave and when it went wrong about 4 years later took it back and got a new one. :cool:

Costco rocks. My mum has returned her iron about eight times because it keeps breaking, and Costco just take it back. Which is why people love them because they do not give you hassle.

I do not think the UK Costco sell's iPod's though does it?

The Costco food is awesome as well!

I picked one up friday and I'm loving it, I still haven't come close to using all 8 gigs.

The screen has a screen protector on it :)

For those wondering, the new earbuds fit better than the old ones and they do block out sound alot.

ive got the Green Nano, and here are the pics if you wanted to see the comparison with the mini :]

The new ipods look so cheap and nasty.

At least the old mini had scroll wheel controls that were colour matched with the ipod. These days the controls are either black or grey regardless of the colour of the ipod.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
