This morning's "USA Today" (Ugh I know ... its what the hotel left on the doorstep) is running a story on the front page about blood banks trying new techniques to get donors in the door. One of the options some blood banks are thinking of raffling off iPods. The article doesn't go on to say whether Apple will be donating these ipods, or if they come through the normal supply channel. However, given Apple's interesting methods for measuring sales metrics in the past; I wonder how many times each of these iPods will be counted.

Christoper Dawson, one of ZDnet's educational bloggers, wrote last night about his Anti-Mac bias. Much like Mr. Dawson, I've faced the stigma of being "the wrong expert" when my friends ask me about what Laptop or desktop they should consider buying, and I rarely have Mac's on the list.

That person on the bus may not be late for his appointment after all. SMS Technology Australia has started production on its M500 line of GSM watches. The M500 is a classy looking square faced watch that runs on quad mode GSM technology. It features a 1.5 inch color touch screen, 128 MB of memory for contacts and files, and full sms support. While it does play MP3/AAC and MP4 video, my strong suspicion is these are use with contact identifying queues.

I could have written this entry a while ago, but for two things. One: I've not been doing a good job keeping the site up to date. Two: I needed to let my anger subside a little before going off. As many of you may know, G4 has bought TechTV and in its continuing efforts to destroy higher cognitive processes, has continued on its "revamping" process and fired the majority of the cast and crew of The Screen Savers.
