An Apple a Day
The old adage, an Apple a day keeps the doctor away, insinuates that apples are good for you. I might try that idea out soon. So many of the kids on campus have the Apple iPods that I see them all the time and I've been quite curious about them. Now that the prices are so low, it's getting hard to resist buying one.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - Apple Computer unveiled a lower-priced iPod nano Tuesday and said it will sell shows from Showtime Networks on its iTunes Music Store.
The 1GB version of the iPod nano, which sells for $149, comes in black and white and holds up to 240 songs or 15,000 photos, the company said in a statement.
The 1GB iPod nano sells for $149.
The 1GB iPod nano is the same size as the other iPod nano models, which are designed for ultra-portability.
Apple (Research) also announced new pricing for its iPod shuffle, with the 512MB model costing $69 and the 1GB model priced at $99.
In a separate statement, Apple said that it will sell television shows from Showtime Networks, including "Fat Actress" and "Weeds," on its iTunes Music Store.
Apple's iTunes has more than 50 TV shows available for viewing on a computer or iPod for $1.99 an episode, the company said.
I'm not sure if I'll go for the Shuffle or the Nano but either way, they certainly seem like bargains now. The 1 gig Shuffle seems ideal to me since I really don't need that fancy menu on the iPod--of course what's an extra $50?
I don't have any interest in the downloading of video but being able to move pictures about on one would be nice. I'd probably stick to having music on it tho--I have a USB key for moving pictures and other files between computers.
By the way, in the press release it mentions the Showtime program "Fat Actress". Have any of you seen it? I saw the first 3 episodes last year and was appalled at how poor the writing was--yet the reviews of the show were glowing. Kirstie Alley sucks at acting but she also seems to always have gotten good press. I don't get it. All she does is whine! From the time she was on Cheers to now. Whine, whine, whine! Maybe there should be a rule that Scientologists shouldn't be allowed to be on screen...

My daughter got one from her dad for Christmas a couple of years ago. She loves it. Gee, I wish I had bought some Apple stock when it hit its low in 1999 at $11 a share. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
Oh, get a diffent set of headphones. Don't go for the white earpods. They're too loud and can damage your ears, and they let people know you've got something worth stealing.

Here from Michele tonight...Before I wax on about Fat Actress, I wanted to tell you I FINALLY have a Blogrolly thingy and you are on it!!! Hooray!
Okay...Kirstie Alley...and "FAT ACTRESS"...it is a 'reality' show...HA HA HA HA HA! So, there's pretty much no writing as we understand it...if you get my drift.....And of course, it won't be renewed unless they start calling it "Getting Thinner Every Minute-Actress"...I thought most of it was pretty stupid...but there is something about KA...she can laugh at herself..(Not on THAT show, but on talk shows...I mean) And that is appealing ...She doesn't seem to take herself too seriously, you know? It always amazes me that actors and or actresses and entertainers in general can turn their pain and their craziness and whatever into a "Career"...weather it's writing a book like.."I Was Addicted To Crack When I Wrote My Previous Book"...or..."I Am A Recovering Alcaholic, And I Was Lying When I Said I Gave It Up Before"
So they turn all their human frailty's into Big Bucks! How does that happen, pray tell...? When us regular folks cannot get anything but...literally--Arrested!
I'll stop now...My last word on this subject tonight is" OY!
Do you remember the days when there were 32 episodes in a season of a show??? THAT was a series!
Give Me A Break!
Oh, I feel so much better now, Utenzi! (lol)

Our household has 3 Ipods!! We are addicted!
I would suggest buying the Nano..A little more money for way more fun. We have a shuffle and it is great but very limited.
Once you go Apple you never go back!!

Had no interest in "Fat Actress," it looked too stupid. I do like Showtime's "Masters of Horror" series.

I have an i-pod nano, love to work out with.
Clicked on the picture of your house, and it is soooooo cute!
Thanks for the sweet comments on mine, and Michael's site today, Dave!
haven't seen the show either.Although I did see a clip of it when she was on Oprah...
Here via Michele :)
I think about the life that my Shuffle lives: shoved into the music player pocket in my knap sack, buried deep in my trench coat pocket, tossed onto the desk alongside my keys...a nano wouldn't survive nearly as elegantly.
I like my 5 GB Zen Micro from Creative Labs. More space than the nano and cheaper too.

that was my scientologist impression.
