Apple – Batteries – iPod. A good section on iPod battery life. Basically it says that an iPod can go through 400 cycles before you get to 80% of maximum battery life. All batteries have a life and these definitely do. A cycle by the way is a complete all the way and all the…

1GB Nano
Apple – iPod nano. Wow, Apple just cut their prices again. With a 1GB Nano so cheap at $150 list, there ain’t much reason for a Shuffle IMHO.

Rosetta Stone: Support – Knowledge Base. _Got this program to learn Chinese as some folks said it is the best and since it costs a fortune, maybe it will even work for me. However, it does have a bug if you use Asian fonts, which is kinda sad given it is to learn Chinese._ The…

OCZ PC4000 Gold 2GB Kit
Overclocker Cafe – OCZ EL DDR PC4000 Gold Edition 2GB Kit. I got this memory mainly because I just couldn’t see paying $400 for the higher end Platinum. Also, there was a $23 rebate from newegg.com, so couldn’t resist a $200 2GB kit. It won’t go as fast, but let’s a least make it go…
