According to 9to5Mac, the same guys whom, with the help of their chinese spies, revealed to the world the shape of the new iPod Nano and the presence of the iPod Touch way before everyone else, Apple is preparing to ship brand new MacBooks in […]
The recent big news about the iPod Touch is that a lot of the 16GB ones reportedly have a hardware display problem which renders them almost unviewable/usable. However, apparently the hardware problem has been fixed in the latest iPod Touches that are made in production week 38 and after, as many readers on macrumors.com have […]

Posted September 19th, 2007 by Ryu at 4:47 am in iPod. 0 CommentsSeems that the iPod Classic’s been given the bashing by a lot of iPod lovers lately over Apple’s discussion to change suppliers for the audio codec from wolfson to cirrus logic, in order to maximise profits.

This one is entitled “Welcome to the Mac, Again” as opposed to last year’s “The Power of X”. Last night’s event was split into 3 main sections, […]
Shipping on 28th Sep, or so says the Apple Online Store. But according to here and many other sites, the iPod Touch has already hit many places in the United States! So where the hack are they? My Apple Online Store Order Status is still “Shipping on 28th Sept, deliver by 1st Oct”. ARGH!!!! According […]
Woah… So the Tomorrow.sg thingy finally cooled down. We’ll get on with the hot topic right now, which is obviously, the new iPods! As we all (or rather, we, the Mac fanboys and fangers) know, the new iPods are looking like a pretty nice update from the previous line. As with the previous update in […]
Horrible mistake by NS Portal admins/writers
Posted September 5th, 2007 by Ryu at 2:22 pm in Jackassery. 11 CommentsCheck out this page. Some idiot from the NS Portal actually used a picture of Steve Jobs in an article about Microsoft Powerpoint. This is totally absurb and unacceptable. So someone shot them an email.
