The Wide, Wide World of Apple

[Barrister]

By the way, Safari (or occasionally Chrome, which has the same Apple-developed Webkit core) has generally been found to be the fastest web browser. 

Has speed of application, versus speed of connection, ever really been an issue?

Yes.  Speed to launch the browser, and speed to render pages (typically with a lot of Flash or Java) has been an issue.

Seriously - Safari is noticeably faster than IE.  I've never played with Chrome or Firefox though.

So what are your theories on what will be released, and what this cryptic ad is supposed to mean?

And how soon will you upgrade your Touch if the new feature is just a camera?

I don't have a Touch.   

And I dunno - the only rumours I've seen were for adding cameras to the entire iPod line (not just the Touch).  Seems like a somewhat silly upgrade, but I suppose enough teenyboppers would like the feature.  My previous generation Nano works just fine though, so I don't see upgrading for another product cycle or two.

The problem the iPod Shuffle being so small....I cannot find the damned thing.

Don't even think about Chrome for now, unless you want to cry.

I might give it a try when it's out of beta.

Safari has crashed more often for me than Firefox (both on a Mac). It was when the site had Java or Flash running.  Firefox just seems more stable.

The small size, price and limited functionality was why I bought two, one for each of my boys for long car rides and such..

Unfortunately they cannot keep the bloody white earphones in and stopped using them.. solution: buy different earphones...

Apple's response on next gen of shuffle: ordinary earphones wont work, all controls now on the wire to the white crap they call earplugs.... And other earphone makers will have to license that control adapter thingie making new phones more expensive than the player itself...

My response.. once those shuffles die we switch brands

Yeah, I have the last generation one, which I think is better than the new one(I have my own custom earphones for it, especially I mainly use it for running).  If I buy a new one, I'll get a refurb/clearance of the last-gen Shuffle.

I have a free apple script that does that from the toolbar without upgrading. 24k download
