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

RIP iPod Classic.

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

Awww. I've had three generations of those, the 3rd and the last two.

They are pretty out of date at this point, especially with a hard drive (although the iPod Touch and iPhone still can't match the 160GB storage of the Classic.

Woah, really? I love mine so much, maybe I should replace it now while I still can...

Our wings are not tired

Yeah, I have an iPod classic that lives in my car so that I can have a decent chunk of my music with me.

Hey. New board.

There will likely be a 128 GB iPod touch soon (or there is already?) That's not bad. For music-only car living it's hard to beat that classic interface though.

I don't have anywhere close to that much music and tMo lets Spotify stream without data charges now so I don't need it, but I feel for you bigger listeners.

Somebody needs to make a simple mp3 player with a solid interface that reads micro SD cards. How many 64 GB cards would you need for your entire collection ND?

This tweet is cute.

My media collection sits on a 10 TB Drobo at the moment.

Just the music is probably around 300 GB at the moment.

Can anyone recommend a good external Blu-Ray drive I can plug into my laptop? Also, is WinXP up to running a Blu-Ray drive? I'm using my old XP desktop as my media machine.

I can't answer the bit about WinXP, but the two or three times I've used it the Digistor drive I bought has worked well with my Macs and Roxio Toast.

"The iPhone 6+: taller than a Poptart, yet not as wide."

I actually printed this pdf of iPhone 6 sizes [link] so I could cut them out to see how they fit in my hand.
