I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Apple has new crap up on their front page: [link]

I'm downloading iTunes 6 now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hrrm. I know there was a link to iTunes 5 that didn't set off my work filter, but I know I can't get to [link] from here.

I'm still bummed that the iPods cap out at 60 GB. I'm really waiting for at least an 80 GB model and preferably a 100 GB one.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

We may not be able to know this yet, but the downloadable TV shows on iTunes-- where would they be played? The video iPod? Your computer? Your DVD player?

Yeah, I was hoping for an 80 too. But a 60 would probably do me for a few years.

Are the new iPods wider, or is that just my brain?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Is the FrontRow/remote thing available for non-iMac computers? That would be useful for my PowerMac.

See, I'm at the point where even on an 80 GB I'd have to leave stuff off, and there would certainly be no room for video.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Just your brain -- the screen is much bigger, which is messing with the proportions of the thing.

edit: and it looks like the click wheel is smaller to make room for the screen, which will affect the feel as well as the look. grr.

where would they be played? The video iPod? Your computer? Your DVD player?

Definitely on the iPod and in iTunes; where else will probably depend on having the right cable and/or dock, ports on the target machine, etc. I predict (easy, I know) new expensive white accessories to make all of these things easier and shinier.

I'm playing with iTunes 6, so yeah, it has video. So far it seems to pretty much just be music videos and nothing else. Nothing I'm really interested in yet.
