Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
don't get the Nano appeal, especially when the shuffle exists.
1) The Nano is prettier.
2) The Shuffle has no screen.
3) The Nano is prettier.
4) The Nano keeps track of what songs you played and when, and transfers this info back to iTunes.
5) The Nano is prettier.
6) You can play solitaire on your pretty Nano.
Shuffle - for workout, where song choice is less relevant
Nano - mini Mini, where I need playlist control, but of a subset of my music (teaching)
Regular - all mah music, all mah playlists.
When the shuffle came out, I said "cute! tiny! but without being able to see or select songs, it's broken".
I said this until I saw one in person, at which point the CUTE! TINY! voices became waaaaay too loud for me to hear the other part.
But since I didn't have any money anyway, it was kind of a moot point.
[I still have not seen the Nano in person. I fear I would break from Teh Cute.]
Why it's OK to hate the Yankees:
According to this ($) extremely useful analysis by the Wall Street Journal’s Allen St. John, the cost per victory of a team good enough to make the playoffs is approximately $900,000 per. The White Sox made the playoffs at just $759,373 per victory while the Angels paid $1.03 million. In the National League, the Cardinals managed at $862,685 per victory while the Astros ponied up $921,068. The Yankees, on the other hand (with its $208.3 million payroll) led the majors with a ridiculous $2.2 million per victory, which is seventy percent higher than that of the closest competitor, the Red Sox, at $1.3 million. To root for the Yankees, therefore, is to root for the power of the money, pure and simple. You might as well root for Citigroup…

hub has one, and while I was all kinds of jealous when he bought it, I've never really tried to steal it. I suspect it would've been underused and thus a waste of money for me.

You really would. Here, my current lack of money is my friend.

Ditto.
So, I do NOT feel better today. Stupid cold. Of course, I can't take today off from everything as I did yesterday, as my paper doesn't seem to be writing itself. Stupid paper. Maybe an outline will help.
They brought out the Nano right after I broke down and bought my Mini.
Likewise, Virgin Mobile came out with a cellphone that does MP3s AND camera. Right after I bought their cameraphone.
I sense a trend here.
Is there any other technology I should buy soon, so as to afford other people a chance to get their hands on some new, really exciting and/or useful enhancement?
Will someone loan me the motivation to eat the kashi I bought for breakfast? I've had it around for two mornings now and whenever I look at it I imagine eating sawdust. (Though since I've been eating apples in the mornings it's not a total loss...)
You really need to buy a flat-screen TV, Theo.

This is like me and guys I date getting married to the very next person they date.
