Apple has got FREAKING AWESOME!!!
So, today was a normal day, with me generally wondering why people crib about sitting in air conditioned rooms while I'm sweating it out in the sun. And how life is generally unfair to me, whether I had pissed Him off somehow. And what could have made my day even more exciting?
APPLE RELEASED A NEW iPOD TOUCH 4G!! with a CAMERA! It is awesome. Since the net started I've been sitting on the net researching and viewing videos, reading blogs and articles. Reading the pros and cons. Such pessimists. This by far, according to me is the best thing they could have come up with. Finally a product people would buy without thinking twice, iPhone or iPod and that whole issue!
Since I have very happily lost my iPod, i might have a chance on getting this one, fingers crossed.. hopefully the prices in India wouldn't be that high, about 11-17k. Trust our government to come with some stupid clause doubling the price of imported products.
About the features, FaceTime looks a bit redundant for the Indian crowd, but i won't mind goofing about with it. The HD recording capability, Apple deserves a bow. The resolution upped to 960x640 and with the new gaming app people are just going to forget about society, as a friend of mine was kind enough to point out to me. Revolution it is. The usual 8,32,64 GB space more than enough i'd say. Plus it looks really slim and weighs 101gms. Amazingly light. I'd most probably drop it from the auto again (for those who aren't aware, that's how i lost mine earlier)! :D.
Also they came out with a new nano model. Touch screen, very spunky. hopefully ranging from 6-8k. Limited features, but since I've never used one before I really can't say whether the touch is an improvement or just another flashy yet classy feature. :)
iTunes 10 also out. Im on "Reptile" by Dimmu Borgir, dunno why but the music sounds richer, or maybe I'm just fascinated with anything Apple right now. The look is kinda classic though. Less colourful more direct. Symbols look more primitive but otherwise things are where they are. Not a bad update.
Thank you Apple! Yet again!!
(PS. My download speed reached 2mbps, life is good, quite different from how it started today!)

Genius! Hallelujah
This happened while I was writing on Bree and its ridiculousness. Apple did a kickass job with introducing the genius function in the iTunes player. I know it has been there for a long time but it is so amazing.
While writing about the aforementioned article, my head was a swirl of naked chafe. Like a mosquito buzzing about my head while I’m trying to hit the sack. Hence I put on Immolation – A Token of Malice. I was in the mood for more. It’d be really bugging were I to switch windows every time to put the appropriate song, and thank God! Enter Genius!
That little neutron icon is a bliss sometimes. The same sort of music sorted automatically from my library and even suggestions to artist that I don’t have that might interest me. The atmosphere it creates is so awesome! Like it reads my mind, although why “Say it Right” by Nelly Furtado was in that playlist beats the crap out of me :D...
8-10 songs down in the newly created playlist and I’m done with my article. Now for some smooth stuff to get me all drowsy and I put Riverside. “I Turned you Down” ringing in my head while my eyelids get heavy, my head has reached Shangri-la.
And Genius is almost always accurate. Apple says it goes well beyond genre in generating playlists. The company anonymously sends information about your library to the iTunes Store and combines that with data from other users to fine-tune playlists and buying recommendations. Suggestions show up in a Genius sidebar in Itunes. Awesomeness! Great job Apple! For heaven's sake get the iPhone right this time! $ was such a looker yet a poorly though out product. Get the genius right this time! Cheers!!
iOS4 for my iPod!
The iOS4 is OUT!!! hell! downloading it right now... I will review it for the iPod Touch 2G by the end of the day.
