Oz Politics
If you like graphs and polls and numbers and stuff, then you may find this blog site interesting, although possibly also quite depressing if you’re a coalition voter :\ However, it may be a good one to keep bookmarked in the lead-up to the election – which is looking increasingly likely that I will be in Africa for – never had to do an absentee vote before… and I will hate to miss the wall-to-wall TV coverage, which I have always enjoyed previously, but them’s the breaks.

CNET : Will ‘the beat go on’ with a new iPod?
Keep your ears open, it looks like Steve Jobs is set to make an iPod related announcement this Thursday – hopefully concerning the release of a new generation of iPods.
With all the hype around the iPhone and other products like AppleTV, the humble iPod seems to have been forgotten the last couple of years. My old 60gig one is still fine for music but in these days of video it doesn’t quite cut it. I used mine a lot on our recent trip watching TV show episodes, and it was fine but it would be great to have a larger screen.
So my wish list for the next generation iPod would include :
- Larger, brighter screen
- More storage – how bout a 120Gig iPod?
- Touch-screen controls
- More connectivity options – maybe bluetooth (for headphone and care stereo connections), ? wi-fi, or a built in FM tuner or how bout a built in FM transmitter!
I look forward to seeing what Jobs pulls out of the bag. The other thing that the article mentions is the likely iTunes release of The Beatles catalog. Long overdue, no doubt, but for any serious Beatles’ fan it shouldn’t really matter. I’ve had all The Beatles’ albums on my iPod since day one, since I already own the CDs. And I wouldn’t have it any other way – as much as I am in to iPods and downloading music etc, it still doesn’t beat having a big wall of CDs in your collection to choose from. If I really like an album, I’ll still go and buy the CD. Maybe I’m just showing my age…
