Apple to Fix Nano Screens, Not Scratches

Um, so I have a scratch in my nano so I should take a hammer to it or sit on it before I ask for a new one? 

In a statement issued late Tuesday, Apple acknowledged that a manufacturing error led to a small percentage of iPod Nanos with weak screens, which could potentially crack in a tight pocket. Apple says it will replace any Nanos with broken displays, but not those with scratches.

iPod Nano's LCD Scratches More Than a DJ

 Man, if I forked out the dough for one of these and the screen broke I would be bent!  Hehe, I made a phunny.

iPod Nano is coppin' a bad rep already with it's users. Why? Well apparently your LCD is fucked if you even put it in your pocket. Now some of these breaking LCD screens make sense. For instance, you don't put an iPod Nano in your jeans pocket or whatever and sit down. We all know the thing is going to bend and snap a little. The screens are breaking so fast, supply cant keep up with demand and LCD price-gouging has occured (we won't name sites)! If you have a Nano, we highly suggest picking up a solid case to protect it....or a thong if you want. UPDATE - Or maybe an invisible shield?

iPod nano screen complaints abound [iLounge]

The Palm Treo 700w - First Look At The Windows Mobile Treo

 Hey this is kinda cool.  But I think I will keep my PPC-6700.  It has a 1.3 megapixel camera and a hideaway keyboard. J

Engadget has their hands on a Palm Treo 700w, the name and model for the Windows Mobile Treo some of us have been salivating over for the last few months.
"A few confirmed specs: Windows Mobile 5.0, one megapixel camera, EV-DO, Bluetooth, 64MB of memory, still trying to conclusively determine the resolution of the display, but it looks to our eyes like it's 240 x 240 pixels, not 320 x 320. But we're not 100% on that, ok?"
There are a lot...

Goo-Fi?

Well, I saw this and decided to check it out.  Seems I was still able to get to http://wifi.google.com/download.html and download the file.  Not sure what good it will do since I am not in SF. J 

The story begins,

LONDON, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Online search leader Google (GOOG.O: Quote, Profile, Research) is preparing to launch its own wireless Internet service, Google WiFi, according to several pages found on the company's Web site on Tuesday.

The page was http://wifi.google.com/faq.html, but it's gone now. Try and you'll be redirected to the index page. From the FAQ, while it was still visible: "The program can currently be downloaded at certain Google WiFi locations in the San Francisco Bay Area." (Please tell me it's not Windows-only. [Later... Yep, it is. But that's Secure Access... not clear where that ends and other Wi-Fi services begin.])

Other poop here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here (with excerpts, such as One of our engineers recognized that secure WiFi was virtually non-existent at most locations. As a result, he used his 20% project time to begin an initiative to offer users more secure WiFi access. Google Secure Access is the result of this endeavor.), here (with a screen shot!), here (more screen shots), here and (of course) here.

Tag: goofi. (No offense intended. It's just too good a pun to resist.)
