What would you like to see in the next generation iPod?

The iPod Touch 5G.

A lot of the features of course would follow from the iPhone.

..And you know what I think would be good, is if Apple released the iPhone and iPod Touch at the same time. :D That would be fair, they’d match and interact together well.

Anyway, it should pack:

-A slightly thinner (20%) design, with an aluminium backing, similar to the iPad’s.

-New storage- 16GB min, 32GB, 64GB and 82GB.

(16GB is the price of the previous 8GB which should be cancelled)

-Two colours- a black glass front and shell, and a white one (that actually comes out with it as well).
The Apple logo on the black one is white and on the white one is dark grey.

-A still contoured design, with tapered edges, but not as tapered, so it’s a bit more rectangular. (It’s hard to explain, but the back will still be completely flat). The volume buttons are still on the left side but are the colour of the aluminium back (black or white) and have signs + and – the opposite colour of the colour of the aluminium on them. There’s also a button above those like on the iPhone and iPad that, in the Settings, can be changed to be used for either orientation lock or mute. It’s not a slide design button, just a single button that has to be held for a couple of seconds.

The buttons, due to the slim-lined design, are still sort of on the back, but up a bit higher, very close to the screen, so they can still be felt with the finger if you run it along the very thin side.

-A new dual-core processor, supposedly deemed “A5″, as well as a new vibration motor with that for vibrating alerts.

-Improved battery life that lasts about an hour longer than the previous model (average).

-A slightly improved microphone and speaker. The spot hasn’t changed- there’s still only one visible speaker, covered with mesh inside, visible down the bottom on the left. On the right is the earphone/headphone port as usual. And on the back, with the new camera, is the other mic.

-A new screen, wider by a few mm, to match with the change of the iPhone screen size. Same retina resolution from previous generation, this time with IPS display technology like the iPhone for better colours and viewing angles.

-Stronger glass, better anti-smudge, anti-glare and scratch proof screen.

-3 mega pixel rear facing camera with mic accompanying for recording sound.

-Improved front facing camera quality for FaceTime calling+
Ability for up to 4 way conferencing with FaceTime.

-iOS 5 built-in.

-Increased RAM- possibly higher than 512MB depending on iPhone 5G RAM.

-1.5GHz.

-Full bluetooth functionality, compatible with a lot of multimedia files from other phones.

-Built in bluetooth app for easy bluetooth file exchange and communicating (video calling+advanced IM must be purchased separately for a price from app store).

-Faster, better responding Wi-Fi chip.

-HD still photos. A lot more built-in camera features, for both cameras (mainly for rear).

-Better photo uploading (choose from many social networks, not just YouTube).

-Wireless syncing to iTunes on Mac or PC with bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

-Built in FM radio or DAB radio (CEO Jobs might want to jump to the future, as usual).

Other notes:

-The iPhone is and always will be known as the better touchscreen iDevice, and the ‘full thing’.
Features the iPhone certainly has above the iPod Touch, and should always have include the higher resolution camera (supposedly 8MP on the fifth gen), 3G/4G- it would be absurd to add that to the iPod Touch, that’s what all smartphones use now- it’s not a cheaper version of the iPhone! GPS chip built-in- you can manually add GPS features to the iPod anyway, but it isn’t known to be a ‘GPS’ device, compared to the iPhone, which can be taken around in the car and do a good job at helping you navigate! External speaker at the top (in the middle above the screen)- I’ve seen that suggested but definitely no, that makes it look exactly like the iPhone. The iPod and iPhone MUST be different products.

That’s all. :-)
To mark the iPod Touch’s fifth anniversary, discount cards should be packaged with each iPod Touch, allowing you to top up your Apple Store account credit by $30 for only $20! :D

Is this possible to accomplish without shelling out my paycheck?

Okay so I’m sick and tired of technology screwing me over lol.

Here’s my problem: I want to connect my computer, which is across my room, to my stereo, which is on the other side. I have an iPod (which I keep in the car) and I dont like discs. I’ve looked at things online where people are saying things like “Just buy an mp3 player!” but really, thats not what im looking for. I know what I want, I just dumped so much money into everything I can’t justify paying a ton for a little transmitter. I almost cried when my bluetooth adapter was more than 20…The closest thing I found to what i want is intended for a surround sound system, and is $150.

I have:

A customized year old HP dv2700tSE (worth around $2000 at the time)

http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/hp-pavilion-dv2700t-special/4505-3121_7-32814488.html

And an RCA RS2664 Stereo system

http://www.amazon.com/RCA-RS2664-5-Disc-Changer-Bookshelf/dp/B000P6H908

I don’t think the problem I’m trying to tackle is a tough one, nor do I want to run a 25 ft y cable cable around my bedroom to my computer.

I would very much like something thats around $50 if at all possible, $100 at the most….I dont really have the money to be doing this to begin with lol.

Also, I was thinking as an alternative, maybe purchase an fm transmitter for the car, and get an adapter that converts the car charger port to an indoor outlet. Though id rather not do that if at all possible, and just use the $60 that’s going to run me to get a wireless adapter.

What do you think about my essay, would like some feed back please?

Taking some classes at the local community college. Was given an assignment to write an essay why I think people read less then they did 15 – 20 years ago. It’s been a while since I wrote an essay so any feedback would be appreciated.

To read or not to read: Is it even a question?!

I turn my gaze towards the reality of this technology age. Surveying a plethora of technical advances which have improved our lives, but not without it’s draw backs. Media, videos games, Ipod’s with downloadable audio books have replaced the time cherished art of reading the written word.

Today’s media offers twenty fore hour programming, covering many aspects of interests. From news, to the latest celebrity scandal. Streaming video through the internet, or even to our cellular phones, we have become entrenched in our obsession to stay “connected” in our busy lives on the go. Sound bites temping the ear, have people scrambling to YouTube. Across the office, a co-workers cell phone sounds off the newest trending ring tone. Quickly, a text is sent off in half worded slang , requesting a file share via Bluetooth.

Captured, eye’s glued to a screen where aliens must be stopped before their conquest of world domination can be achieved. On to racing the lands of Europe, pausing briefly in the options screen to customize a virtual car, perhaps a new paint job and a change of cloths for the animated driver. Instructions scroll at the bottom of the screen, quickly depressing the keys to hurry through the boring words to get back on the track.

Not limited to pixel graphic arts, convince can be had in literature. An audiobook, which is a recording that is primarily spoken word. Mainly based on a recording of commercial printed material, offers a pleasant toned voice, narrating for the users listening pleasure. Removing the trouble of the imagination grasping the mood, suspense and drama.

Perhaps playing Angry birds, is not the best use of down time. If one is obsessed with the latest gadget, a time honored classic like The Great Gatsby, Moby Dick, or escape to a dessert island with Robinson Crusoe downloaded to a Kendal can fulfill that need. In my opinion technology has played a large roll in the decline of reading for pleasure. A lack of stimulus from words, where bleeps and flashing lights are more appealing. I fear it is only hurting our broad knowledge of life, wider gaze and appreciation.

can i use my cell fone bluetooth as wireless lan? if yes then how?

If i use laptop having internet connection, and want same connection on cell fone by using bluetooth, is it possible to use bluetooth technology as wireless lan?

What is Bluetooth technology and what is it used for?

I’m really bad with technology so…how do I use bluetooth from an acer laptop to a samsung mobile phone?

I don’t know much about bluetooth and need to know every detail – even the details most people would know. So I have a samsung mobile and want to know how to put music from my laptop onto my mobile.

Technologies used by Bluetooth? How does it operate?

I would like to ask further, what does bluetooth use? Radiowaves or microwaves. What are the requirements so that you can use bluetooth?

What is the difference between bluetooth and a wireless head-set?

I’ve heard many people say that they are talking on a bluetooth. I know Bluetooth is the technology used in many cellular phones but I people are confused about it. I try to convince people that they aren’t talking on a Bluetooth. Instead, you are using a wireless head-set. So, I need some additional information.

World of warcraft Armory?

Hey guys, I have been trying to figure out why I can not use the World of warcraft armory. It says server busy. That alone does not mean anything. But its been like this for a full 2 weeks. And more, other people are able to use it.

What I have done:
Cleared my browser Cache, Cookies and Browser History on both Firefox 3.01 and IE7.

Someone also had me flush my dns but that did not work either. I am out of ideas here. I talked with blizzard and they said its on my end but I do not know what else I can do.

World of warcraft, is the Armory always right about which gear is an upgrade for your toon?

I have items that to me seem like an obvious upgrade, but aren’t even on the list of possible upgrades for that particular slot, or sometimes it seems to me that an item they say is an upgrade isn’t. When its just simple stats, its easy to figure out but when it comes to dodge or critical strike or such I don’t know how to compare that to say strength or agility.

Why can’t I find Reckful’s armory? (World Of Warcraft)?

(7x Gladiator Rogue, Reckful on Blackrock-US)
Not only his. Also his friends/teammates are all gone. I looked at their guilds armory. All the main characters are gone? Name change / /gquit for new season practice? I’m assuming?

World of Warcraft Armory Question?

When I view my character in the armory

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/ma…

You can’t actually see all the gear and my characters appearance but you can for some other people. Why is that? How do I make it so you can see my characters appearance?

Note – I don’t have TBC or WoTLK or Cataclysm.

Thanks ;)

Regarding health care, does this not make sense to you?

By Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa)

Washington, DC — With the Senate health committee convening daily to craft a comprehensive health reform bill, the basic outline of this landmark legislation is now clear.

Yes, it will ensure access to affordable, quality care for every American. But, just as important, it will hold down health care costs by creating a sharp new emphasis on disease prevention and public health.

As the lead Senator in drafting the Prevention and Public Health section of the bill, I view this legislation as our opportunity to recreate America as a genuine wellness society – a society that is focused on prevention, good nutrition, fitness, and public health.

The fact is, we currently do not have a health care system in the United States; we have a sick care system. If you’re sick, you get care, whether through insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP, community health centers, emergency rooms, or charity. The problem is that this is all about patching things up after people develop serious illnesses and chronic conditions.

We spend a staggering $2.3 trillion annually on health care – 16.5 percent of our GDP and far more than any other country spends on health care – yet the World Health Organization ranks U.S. health care only 37th among nations, on par with Serbia.

We spend twice as much per capita on health care as European countries, but we are twice as sick with chronic disease.

How can this be so? The problem is that we have systematically neglected wellness and disease prevention. Currently in the United States, 95 percent of every health care dollar is spent on treating illnesses and conditions after they occur. But we spend peanuts on prevention.

The good news in these dismal statistics is that, by reforming our system and focusing on fighting and preventing chronic disease, we have a huge opportunity. We can not only save hundreds of billions of dollars; we can also dramatically improve the health of the American people.

Consider this: Right now, some 75 percent of health care costs are accounted for by heart disease, diabetes, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and obesity. What these five diseases and conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even reversible by changes in nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle.
MEGAN – No honey, I definately don’t work for any medically related company.
I’m one of the folks they’ve forgotten about since I don’t have insurance anymore.

Are democrats mad that McCain released his medical records and is in excellent health?

How are you going to claim he is senile and will die in office now?
“I think physiologically he is considerably younger than his chronologic age based on his cardiovascular fitness,” Eckstein said in an interview Thursday. “I got a call from the cardiologist who said that he had not seen anyone that age exercise for that long in a long time.”

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080523/ap_on_el_pr/mccain_health

Tigress, McCain is 71. In four years he will be 75 not almost 80.

Would anyone watch a health and wellness channel?

So I just got done with my workout this morning and (just so everyone who reads this knows I am NOT captain fitness) on my drive home I started thinking about tv and all the channels that are on there and then it got to infomercials about getting in shape and I started wondering why there isn’t a channel dedicated to something like that. Obesity is supposedly the scourge of America these days and what is one of the easiest ways to become obese? Sitting at home, watching television, eating a bag of chips and drinking a big gulp. Now that’s not the same situation for everyone and it is probably a little exaggerated but my point is that the goal in life is to be comfortable with the body and I know that some people just get to the point that they don’t even want to leave the house because they have let themselves go. They don’t want to do pilates on their own and in today’s world with so many choices they wouldn’t know where to start. So, what if there were a channel dedicated to changing that? What if it were dedicated to becoming healthy and fit. It wouldn’t necessarily be to become Arnold in his prime or anything but just to shed some pounds and get people moving again. There could be shows for beginners just getting up and doing something and then for the more advanced you could have some stuff for them and even expert level. There could be programs focused on men or women. And more importantly, you see Rachel Ray and Dr. OZ with so many healthy living tips and foods. Why not have a few shows dedicated strictly to that? Why not have a couple shows during the meal periods or something along those lines. And there could be some programs about what to do on your own time for ideas like walking or improving your run or even where to start and how build muscle and tone the body and overall to improve your physical health and through doing that, it will help emotional health as well. I know it’s such a cliche but it really is true. People feel a lot better about themselves and their day after a workout. I am already working on this and I will have a much more well thought out plan in time but my first question to the general public is would anyone watch something like that because, yes, this is for the people. This is so we don’t have to look at the news and keep hearing about this epidemic. Do I think it will change the world? No, not even close, but for those people that are really looking for an outlet, then yes. This could change their lives. I know so many people that watch the biggest loser and other shows like that and wish they could do something like that. Why not give the people what they want? But, my question is would people watch this because as much as this is for the people I don’t have the money to do this on charity and so it would have to be a self sustaining profitable station. So, would anyone out there watch this? Does this sound like something that you or your friends, family or coworkers would be interested in? Please, let me know what you think and what I could do to improve this idea and most importantly, would you watch?

How would a traffic-free urban playground, go over in Chicago?

NYC Experiments With Traffic-Free Urban Playground

NEW YORK – In Paris, they call it La Plage, or the beach. And in Bogota, Colombia, it’s Ciclovia, or bikeway.

For six hours Saturday in New York, it was called Summer Streets: Nearly seven miles of Manhattan that were stripped of traffic, creating a weekend playground for bikers, walkers and loungers.

“Bellissimo!” declared Antonio de Lucia, a tourist from Caserta, Italy, who read about the event and decided to walk about three miles from his Chinatown hotel to a friend’s Times Square restaurant — with more than 90 pounds of luggage. An hour into his hike, he was smiling as he sauntered up a stretch of Park Avenue awash in cyclists, pedestrians and in-line skaters. One man on a bicycle swooped down a sloped section of the avenue yelling “whee!” at full voice.

“It’s a moment of truth for this city. People are participating — New Yorkers are united with their city,” said de Lucia, a 29-year-old business consultant.

Bike-loving celebrities Lance Armstrong and David Byrne are helping Mayor Michael Bloomberg launch the experiment. It emulates similar initiatives in cities around the world in aiming to create a livable, ecologically gentle urban environment.

The 6.9-mile, car-free route started at the Brooklyn Bridge and ended to the north at East 72nd Street, with links to Central Park and other open spaces. It included stretches of Park and Lexington avenues and is set to be repeated for the next two Saturdays, starting at 7 a.m.

The idea is simple, in the words of the city’s official Web site: “Play. Run. Walk. Bike. Breathe.”

Fitness, dance and yoga classes were offered at a central stage along the route, with additional exercise and health activities hosted by community groups at certain cross streets. Bike rental facilities were available along the route, including learn-to-ride lessons for adults.

need to find news channel or news website that’s worthwhile?

hi everyone,
Although i believe “worthwhile” is subjective, i am looking for a news channel with factual unbiased news that is actually news-worthy (for the lack of a better word =] )

I DO NOT want to know how some person got arrested, i don’t want to know anything about any celebrity whatsoever, i don’t care for health and fitness tips. I Want the news to be educational.
I Want to know about newest scientific news. I want to know about the change in economical indicators. etc. you get the point
