Apple @ MindSay

I once had a dream like ....way before iPhones that my original 40GB iPod rang and I answered it like it was a telephone. I thought it would be cool if they ever invented this contraption, but didn't see any point and wrote it off as a strange dream.

When the iPhone came out, I wrote it off, because it seemed overpriced.

But now that the new iPhone is coming out JULY 11TH!!!! I am sort of excited.

I mean I like going to the theater for two hours, coming back and checking my email? Won't it be a distraction if I'm continually able to check my email, checking it every two seconds? I think I may go blind that way.

As it is, I have a pre-paid service right now. My minutes probably won't run out until the end of the year which gives me plenty of time to think. But it IS tempting.  I probably wouldn't use it enough for it to be worth it.

But when I've been out & about and wished I had googled an address before hand? Yes, the new one has GPS or I assume I could always google it.

VERY tempting!

 I hate Mac. I hate Mac Accessories. I hate Ipods.

What does all of that tell you about me? That I hate the freaking Apple Store.

Gosh, I will murder the next scenester that takes a picture in the apple store and posts it somewhere. I am starting to believe that scenesters are the next yuppies. They are the child remnants of the yuppie explosion of the 80's and the oh so versatile 90's yuppies. And why the hell are all these damn kids buying ipods in the first place? It's a waste of money and I am sure that the price is making the fat pigs at Mac so happy with the replacement costs and warranties a total rip off. But it's the pictures I hate the most. Seeing those kids in there happy and free. And these are kids that are my age too. I think the main appeal is much like the Mac commercials where they spout their amenities but refuse to state their most blatant and important faults like crappy software compatibility. And the kids are buying into the appeal like it's applesauce because the store itself looks like a heartless steel building that makes it seem so impersonal but finds it easy to hire 20 employees to watch one person and also security wire down all the display products. I guess the store itself has that smooth sexy appeal that people get off of. I guess if I had the money I would trade functionality for style anyday.

Nike and Apple are making the iPod compatible with gym equipment.

The companies said Tuesday they are working with several gym equipment makers and the health clubs 24-Hour Fitness and Virgin Athletic Health Clubs to allow members to plug their iPod Nano into cardio equipment.

The Nanos would track workouts, set goals and upload the information to a Nike Web site.

The new technology is expected to hit more than 500 gyms worldwide this summer.
