It must be the January blues or something, but the posts are not exactly pouring out of my brain. Perhaps working a midnight shift doesn't help either. Nonetheless, there is some news for all you Mac fans. Mac has introduced a new mini iPod in an array of vomitous colors. The machine is about the size of a credit card and has a 10gig (I think) hard drive instead of solid state memory and get this, is only 50 bucks less than a standard iPod. What gives? I guess it gives them a starting point in which to drastically reduce the price once the demand is up for this thing, making Mac look so good in the eyes of geekdom. All this for something that only costs them about $40 to produce. But these new gadgets with mega huge hardrives the size of a match box are becoming quite popular. I would be interested if I could get my hands on something with 4 or 5 gigs of memory for around $100. I would use it to store digital images while on holiday or something. Now that would be cool!
