Cameras in iPods? »
Wired asks: “If Apple puts a camera in every iPod (the dying Classic and the tiny Shuffle excepted), will it kill the compact camera industry? The answer might actually be yes.”
The article goes on to ask: “The point is that Apple can put an easy to use — no, fun to use — camera in the pocket of everyone under 40, a camera that is effectively free and will automatically sync all pictures back to the mothership via iTunes every time it is charged. Now. Imagine you are in the compact digicam market. Should you be worried?”
I’m definitely intrigued and think this is something we will be seeing in your friendly neighborhood Apple store very soon.

Guest Blogger: Freddy the Raccoon
Guest blogging is all the rage these days, and who am I to go against the trend? For this guest blog post, I’ve brought in a fellow blogger, Freddy the Raccoon. On his blog, the fantastically named, Freddy to Roll, he describes himself this way: “i am mostly your average raccoon. i can go to college. i have a selfphone.” In this first installment, I’ll let Freddy introduce himself:
hi i’m freddy ive been Blogged On for like a year. innernet is not very hard when you get a hang of it. i am a raccoon and go to college. i live with the lemmerds, larva is one of them and her bruther is. i am president of the coonited states! and voded for gobama. i am a cool pool lifecart in the summer which is hard but life i guess. “No Drowning!” sometimes people whoresplay and i say “water stays in pool and you too!” bc what if they got hurt and exploded or i got wet?
i like The Popped’N’Missed bc it has a lot of inchresting things. like with JOB i didnt know that you could ecsplain the most majical things with simple arrhythmatic. i guess it just goes to show faith verses reason like Lock and Jack. the problem with faith is you cant even see it sometimes and what if your wrong? the problem with reason is its hard and kind of dumb, nurds do it a lot. so how do you pick one? maybe you cant even bc of determanism! i just finished watching LOSSED the other day and i feel like i am the one who is lost half the time! but i am figuring out and pretty sure soyer is just jack. that is why they like the same girls.
theres a lot more of me but i could tell you. im not a know-at-all but am smart and brave and funny. if you do a QNA you can find it out ( i will do the A part). you can also see my blog or this picshure of me on indiepenance day. thats about it. sighanara!
Top 40 "Real Men of Genius" Commercials »
Hey look- yet another Best Of/Top Whatever Number List of some type. See, I’m an addict.
I’m going to be honest, I’ve never had a Budweiser (I kid you not, I once asked my mom what was something I should have learned from college and her exact words were: “Never drink domestic beer), but I’ve always been a fan of their ads. I always get a kick out of their “Real Men of Genius” commercials. Well, here are the top 40. Throw on a pair of headphones, and watch every last one of them at work. Enjoy. (Via)
