I got a hundred and one things to buy. Recently I been eyeing the ipod. Yeah the ipod 15GB model...but it is costing a price of $509 at the lowest price i can find in Funan and of cos not to forget I still need to purchase a USB connector at $34 becos im using a PC with no firewire ports.

The ipod is small, hve great sound, has prob the best digital music software (itunes),great capacity for all ur cds. I jus wondering how the fcuk can someone rip up to 40gb or 10,000 mp3 or AAC files...and of cos what r u gonna do with 10,000 songs in ur pocket ? The ipod mini will be released in Asia in April but the price dun seem to be of any much difference from its bigger brother, however what is attractive is its size as its name suggested. Its abt the size of a credit card and it can house 4GB of music files which is abt 1000 songs - abt 100cds ? I dun even have so much cds in my collection.

Apple products are luxury items...something for the upmarket. For example, hifi systems from Bang n Olufsen are outta reach from commoners like me. Their normal stereo is like 10 times my salary. Look at the G5 series of powerhouses...fantastic performance which is way way faster than any desktop. The G5 processsor is essentially a supercomputer itself with twin precision floating point calculation capibilities and good memory bandwidth and I/O design. Virginia Tech in the US just used $5.2 million for 10 teraflops of pure computing power with just 1100 dual G5 processor G5s. Yeah they jus interconnect the G5s u see in the Apple shops with some high end connections and there u go. The top supercomputer, the Earth Simulator from NEC Japan costed a eye popping price of $350 million and its abt 3 times as fast but costed abt 70 times as much.

Oke too technie there..anyway the only affordable Apple product now is the ipod. Dun u juz love Apple product design ? BTW, my BD is coming soon, someone sponsor me a ipod please? I only ask for the cheapest ipod model...of cos I wun turn down a better model with more capacity HAHAHAHAHAs :P
