Agreed!

I have, in-fact, sat with my iPod playing straight for over 14 hours. I have listened to my IPod for the duration of an 8 hour flight to Heathrow from Toronto, continued to listen to my iPod while stopped over at Heathrow for five hours and finally polished off my trip listening to music and watching videos for a three hour flight from Heathrow to Barajas in Madrid. When I finally arrived in Madrid my iPod was still alive an kicking with no visible signs of giving up soon. Long battery life is invaluable on long flights, and since I have spent a considerable amount of time over the past few years travelling around Europe and flying to North America I am very happy with the battery life on my iPods. It is a blessing to have 20 hours of music playback when my old 3G iPod would only carry me through 8 hours straight.

MS fanboys are just as bad as Apple ones. The MS crowd will bash an iPod for a particular weakness and then praise the Zune for the same thing. As far as I am concerned buy which ever product you prefer. It doesn't bother me if some guy prefers the Zune over the iPod, or the reverse. Some people here seem to take this whole issue a bit too seriously. If it is the best product in your opinion it is the best product for you. End of story. Frankly I'd like to see less iPods out there. Every Tom Dick and Harry has one these days. I preferred it when it was more of a niche product with a smaller following. At least then there weren't a bunch of noobs running around with an iPod, a pair of keys and some change sloshing around in a pocket, screaming bloody murder that Apple can't design the housing of a device properly. But that is old news and I will shut up now!

Oh no, now everyone will know about my penchant for only buying mini scotch eggs and port. Damn, too late!

spil,

You can find ADB adapters. Check out this site:

Also check out this awesome project to convert a classic ADB Apple mouse to optical and USB:

For the record I received a mighty mouse in the box when I bought my new iMac. However, I still use my old Apple Bluetooth mouse because I prefer wireless. I am considering buying the BT Mighty Mouse to gain the advantage of laser over standard optical with the bonus of the scroll ball. I would likely turn off all the other functions and leave the Might Mouse a one button mouse. I know, I know, I am one of those single button advocates. I really do prefer the combination of the single click and keyboard activators and short cuts. The nice advantage with the BT Mighty Mouse is having the option to turn on the extra buttons for playing games and the like.

Where is CNNMoney (story origin) getting their information? Every other gadget blog and news site is reporting that Apple Records have confirmed that music will be sold on the iTMS. This is old news now as most sites reported this morning. Come on Engadget! You guys are normally so much better at checking your facts and reporting info promptly.

It think x23 is very funny. Most of you really need to learn to laugh. You take this whole affair way too seriously. Take a look at what you are saying and reflect on it. There are much more pressing things to worry and argue about in this world than which OS is better dolled up.
