It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

I'm having iTunes release whiplash -- didn't iTunes 5 just come out a few months ago? (Or 5.5, or some other fairly major upgrade?)

Hey. New board.

Yeah. The built-in iSight is pretty cool too, actually.

Still, though, I'm selling my Powermac G5 tomorrow, and will be laptop-only from then on. I've decided.

Our wings are not tired

Yeah, I was thinking that myself. I don't see this release as really deserving of a full number upgrade.

Video is worth a full number, but the previous release wasn't, imo.

Well, if they are like the U2 ipods then they are black in front and silver behind.

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

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

How does it work? IR? Bluetooth? Some other radio technology?

Looks like it's IR.
