For the feature may I suggest OE stories. I'm sure there are some great tales to be told.

Or how about a twist on this – coming home stories.

I mean, most people have a story of some wild and crazy adventure that happened in foreign lands, but what about…

However I actually purchased one (g3) originally back in Jan 04 which fully crashed and I had to get it serviced by Magnum Mac (read replaced).

Oh, has anyone bothered to check how much better the UK…

(has any one actually had an ipod that hasn't broken within 12 months?)

I think it's a problem of perception – people still don't understand that they can't treat their iPod like their old walkman or discman – they need to treat it like their laptop.

And I think the…

charts = sales over the counter + digital sales OR
charts = wholesales [still – grrrr] + digital sales...

Having once worked in a music store for three years not too long…

Once its opened up, its quite easy to add the normal Quicktime codecs and have all the necessary filetype support.

I think I would by one right away if some form of XBMC…

Yep, first-gen ipod nano. Works like a charm despite several instances of being dropped, getting lost, being left in the car, etc. Two previous flash players did not survive similar treatment, sadly.

I have no interest in appletv…

Hopefully though this could be the beginning of some improvement on YouTubes videos.

As for the TV Russell – I finally upgraded…

So it won't all be there automatically. Just "thousands" of clips initially with the rest coming later. ]]> Fri, 01 Jun 2007 12:49:49 +1200 merc https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/hard-news-new-dataz/?p=19719#post19719 https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/hard-news-new-dataz/?p=19719#post19719 this guy, specifically second article down, but generally also. ]]> Fri, 01 Jun 2007 12:16:37 +1200 Russell Brown https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/hard-news-new-dataz/?p=19712#post19712 https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/hard-news-new-dataz/?p=19712#post19712

It warms the cockles me heart that the number two song in Aotearoa is now "Buy You A Drank (Shawty Snappin')" by T-Pain featuring Yung Joc.
