I bought a 500 GB hard disk a few months ago, it was a real bargain too, just 49'99€. Crazy, you get one gygabyte of storing for ten euro cents!! The only down is that it needs two usb ports. Oh, and that they sell you 500 gb and actually you get 465

No you get 500e9 bytes, which is roughly 465 GiB. Difference between computer standards and the Standard International.

Harddisk companies use SI units. But most computer software use the other standard. Thats why there is a mismatch between what you see and what you buy.

Also there is some overhead in the filesystem, that is also deducted from the raw storage capacity.

I went out this afternoon to work, on the way thought I might get some new music and came back with a new iPod touch 32GB. Good score.

Not sure, gotta wait two hours to get home first. Do the 3rd gens usually have OS3 for anyone who bought one this year or late last year?

Then I'd be guessing it has OS3, but that's with the search function isnt it? I fucking hate that but ah well.

The search when you just flick left of the home screen?

iOS4 is awesome works perfectly on my Touch. Love the multitasking, although it makes it a little slower

Apple can do everything and give it a positive vibe.

First you deny features everyone has. Because 'nobody uses them'. Then after 3 years you hype the features everyone in 2004 already had

Then if you made a design error you tell your helpdesk to ignore the issue. The phone works fine, but not when you are left handed. But then it isnt a model for left-handed persons.

But dont worry! You'll get a free bumper for your phone, doesnt matter it ruins the looks you paid 300 USD / EUR / GBP extra for! Since the most important element is preserved, the Apple logo
