OS X Lion, y’all.
If you want to watch me talk about Apple products with my nerdy friends for ten minutes, have I got a link for you.
This is the gift I got myself: a 32GB iPod Touch. I named him Leonard Washington.
FYI, I’m attempting to sell my two year-old iMac. I bought it refurbished from Apple in September 2008 and it has served me valiantly since then. The recent addition of a MacBook Pro to my arsenal has rendered the iMac quite neglected. I want to find it a good home. I’m asking $800 for it, but I’ll take a decent offer if I can’t get full price. If you do buy it for full asking price, I’ll ship it for free (anywhere in the continental US). Here are the specs: 20 inch display, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 250GB hard drive, 3GB 800 MHz DDR2 RAM (upgraded). It’ll be restored back to 10.5 Leopard, but I’ll include my 10.6 Snow Leopard disk with the iMac. It comes with what you see in the picture: original manuals and discs, original power cable, wired Apple Mighty Mouse, wired Apple aluminum full keyboard, and Apple infrared remote. I know this probably won’t elicit any responses, but there’s always a chance.
Friday paychecks make me really want to drop $300 on an iPod Touch.

You say you love music, but for some reason your new iTunes 10 adds a poor substitute for something that already existed, all while hailing this as a new feature. Here’s what your new album art list view looks like:
This is using the “large” artwork option as well. Apparently large is the new triple extra small. Now let’s compare this with the Artwork column option you used to have in the regular list view:
Whoa! Look at that beautiful artwork! Isn’t is amazing? And having it be this size (or any size you want) makes it even easier to find what you’re looking for while you’re scrolling, all while neatly having the album title, artist and rating below. It’s perfect!
So why’d you have to go and mess it up?
After waiting all day yesterday for iTunes 10, I downgraded to 9 this afternoon.
This Leica-esque, faux-leather cover for the iPhone 4 is excellent. I love the design of the new iPhones, but it’s sad that this whole antenna-gate thing is going on. Also it’s sad that it would cost me $90/month to have one.
Obligatory iPhone 4 post: I’d like one of these. A lot. I love the majority of Apple’s products and I’d love to have a device that does all of the things this new iPhone does. However, I’m under contract with Sprint until September of 2011 and even then, unless I have some kind of new fancy job, I could never justify spending, at the minimum, $70/month on a cell phone.
Intertial scrolling is so brilliant.
Screen sharing from MacBook Pro to iMac is CRAZY! Also awesome.
