Apple Guns for 80 Percent of Japan Music Player Market
Expressing a bullish outlook for the product's Japanese debut, Apple Vice President Yoshiaki Sakito said the company has received more prerelease orders for the new iPod shuffle in Japan than those placed for the iPod mini player, which became a blockbuster last year.



I thought i'd just post this because it shows that the iPod shuffle is set to become a big hit. It is pretty cheap but I wasn't sure how popular it would be. I'm fairly convinced that the mini mac will be a big success too.

Huygens sends first Titan images
Posted by play_boy_2000 (3 Comments) Sat Jan 15th '05 04:06:51 AM 
The Huygens space craft has sent back the first images of Saturn's moon Titan, showing what appears to be a shoreline of an oily ocean.

One stunning black and white image reveals what seem to be drainage channels on a land surface leading out into a dark body of liquid.

Another shows a flat surface that is apparently strewn with boulders.

Scientists said Huygens captured over 300 images as it dived through the moon's atmosphere.

Speaking about the picture of an apparent shoreline, John Zarnecki, principal investigator for the Surface Science Package (SSP) on Huygens said: "If it's not a sea, it could be a lake of tar. And did one see waves?"


not exactly stunning image quality, but im sure that a 2400x1300 -ish 24bit color pictar would take a while to send back....?

iPod user sues Apple
Posted by drunken Student (4 Comments) Thu Jan 6th '05 05:14:42 PM 
A user of Apple's iTunes music service is suing the firm saying it is unfair he can only use an iPod to play songs.
He says Apple is breaking anti-competition laws in refusing to let other music players work with the site.

Apple, which opened its online store in 2003 after launching the iPod in 2001, uses technology to ensure each song bought only plays on the iPod.

Californian Thomas Slattery filed the suit in the US District Court in San Jose and is seeking damages.
