    I have this thing where I edit like nobody's business.

    The screen-saver is fucking annoying. Anyway, Apple's bringing out iTunes 7.7, so maybe a classic / nano update will be on then.

    But as I said, it seems to pick up a bit with the new update. So you can't access iTunes? Weird.

    We have this thing now where we can't access sites like MSN, Microsoft.com and whatever else at any given time. Not sure about updating firmware without iTunes though as I've never done it before. You could check out www.ilounge.com to see if anyone knows (I'm there too, under my usual name).

    But at least now you can use Gerard's U2 videos. Welcome to the club!


    hmm...is it slow on the nano as well? I heard it was more of a classic issue (along with the coverflow being slow)...
    I'll try some sites inclding ilounge later, right now I have to study, have this exam tomorrow, "The Islamic Revolution" (and what the fuck does that have to do with my field, electronics,...I've got no clue!)...
    And Gerard's videos...yep, that's the best bit, I already have Buenos Aires on, will get Santiago as well

    That sounds like a barrel of fun. It could just be a classic issue and the hard drives, opposed to flash memory.

    Ah well, have fun with the exams and the iPod.

    No worries, catch ya another time, same place.
  6. ahh the split menu. Fucking pain in the arse and a pointless piece of design. The ipod is already slow so some bright genius though it would be nice to display images at the same time meaning your ipod is searching through its already spinning hard drive to display a picture that you don't want to see. Hands down piece of turd

    Who cares about it actually working properly. As long as it's colourful that's all that matters.

    Ah well...hopefully the new iPhone isn't half a disappointment and doesn't go showing artwork (which isn't even stored anymore) floating around merrily and a crap screensaver, then it's all good - oh yeah, and it doesn't sound like it's been half-cocked by the sound chip inside.

    I must admit, it does look pretty tarted-up. Why does Apple focus on good looks before functionality - should it not be the other way around?

    i'm tempted by a 3G iPhone. Unlimited Wi-Fi and data sounds great

    I'd first like to get my Wi-Fi working (useless router) - but Vodafone all around the world apparently are bringing out some cheap data packs for it.

    Apparently $350 for it - the good thing is, I get paid $900 next week. So I know what I'm going for first thing on the morning of July 11. I'm gonna line up like a typical Apple nut-job and jump all over the place, screaming my lungs out: "Oh my fucking god, I got an iPhone!!! Yay, I'm so overly excited and now I can spend another eight hours putting my videos on it!"

    Seriously, if they bring out a 32 or 64GB SSD model after I buy it, I'm gonna be pissed off.

    Looks like it. I had a quick look-see, and it converted something for me to MP3. Too easy.

    Oh yeah - iTunes 7.7 is due July 11 too and possibly a classic / nano update. I'm off, it's getting bloody late. Night!

    The PlayStation Portable (I got the slim number) browses U2start wonderfully and the BBC news site.
