“iPod Hi-Fi lullabies.” was penned precisely on 1 March, 2006 12:18 PM, which happened to be a Wednesday. but you know what? dullneon.com's random notes has now moved to a new location.
Apple released a slew of new products yesterday, the highlight of which is probably the iPod HiFi. I think it looks tacky, ordinary and even downright soporific. But then again I probably am too much of a deluded audio snob to ever buy speakers from a computer company. (I don’t even think much of the MP3 decoding ability of iTunes/iPod, but that’s a rant for another day.) What is interesting among the new Apple products is the new Intel-powered Mac Mini — Apple proclaims/admits them to be up to 5 times faster than the older G4-powered ones. While its great to have speedy Macs now, it only shows how deeply inferior & terribly slow the older PowerPC line of processors really was towards the end of its product cycle.
this was published on 1 March in the year 2006, which was a Wednesday. anyway, all this is old and archived. everything has been now been moved, so head on down to the revamped almost daily random notes (unless of course you like this old stuff too much to part with it).
