The recent fiasco about Apple limiting an application on iTunes’ AppStore is well-documented. A great comment from the Twittersphere even hints at the kind of dark times this may be the harbinger of. I’ve babbled about how DRM is bad for consumers and bad for the world before. I think it’s important to keep in [...]
A few weeks ago, I posted the first of a three-part headphone review. This is the second. For the past five years or so, the Shure E3 headphones (now called SCL3) had been my sound delivery weapon of choice for serious business. Developed for stage use, they quickly became popularized for portable audio for their [...]
I posted yesterday about some of the features I wished my iPod could do, and some of the things it can now as of the 2.0 software upgrade. There was a huge din of silence surrounding some vagueness about being able to watch video and listen to podcasts on your iPods. To clarify, of course [...]

While in Toronto this weekend, we stopped into the Apple store to play with the new 32GB iPod touch. My feelings about the first edition was, they’re cool, but 16GB isn’t quite enough.
