the new nano.

 

How sick is the new iPod nano? I’m not one to care about specific iPods, I mean I have the old, old thick iPod mini. But…I actually want this one. And not just in one color. I need them all otherwise it’s not the same. No rainbow effect=no fun. 

Plus, I hear if you shake it it’ll shuffle your songs. Oh, baby.

Go Apple! (shamelss plug)

Zune: Because you hate Leslie Fiest

Microsoft introduced the new Zune 2, or its version of an iPod. It’s cheaper ($199, as opposed to apple’s $299-$399 pricetag), and I think the Brazilian singer C?u is to Zune as Fiest is to iPod. Unfortunately, I have been spending all of my money on DVD late fines at IC’s library, so I can’t provide a review. But Gizmodo can ? 6 of ‘em.

This is all you need to see to make an educated purchase. Gates vs. Jobs in a battle royale. Whose side are you on?

48 years old!

In light of the VMAs yesterday ? which were painfully awkward and deliciously horrible ? Brink wanted to throw this fun fact out there:

JOHN NORRIS is 48 years old. Brink would also like to add that we’d pay good money for a photo of his aura last night. Is that kind of thing even detectable with a camera? The man was sporting a bleached and mussed coif, guyliner c/o Pete Wentz, and a black scarf with glittery fringe. In the words of Brink roommate Kate Gia-snarky, “Is he immortal? He’s my immortal.”

Though this may have been too pop culture for Brink, and may belong in the Big Spoon, it seemed only just and right to point out all the ways John Norris remains on the Brink of fashion, goth and beauty.

Also, moritorium on iPhone talk. I’ve had enough of that in the last week. More on it next time something REALLY cool happens. Like Steve Jobs decides to merge with a car …

They can’t just GIVE them away.

Seems that today the iPhone has gone down in price by $200 bucks! Which is sweet, cause we need to save our monies for the new iPod touch. Thanks, Steve Jobs!

**breaking! the NYT tells iPhone owners that Apple is sincerely sorry for ripping them off. Turns out the gadget was only worth $499 to begin with, so everyone gets that $100 difference back. (and Brink thanks Nic for the heads up on that one!)
