Ok, I might not be the first one to think of this, but I like to think I am. 🙂

I wanted to have internet access at home but if my gf uses my computer, I still want access to macrumors and the like. So I set internet sharing on my wireless connection on my iMac (haven't found a use to having wifi beyond this). Now I can still spam macrumors' forums and my gf can continue to myspace till she's blue in the face. 😎

Anyone else had any neat ideas they came up with for their Ipod Touch?
I hope they crack this baby open so I can have a decent notes application for work.

Yes, pics of the girlfriend turning blue in the face might be rather interesting.

Hold on, I'll start a senseless argument with her in which I knew she was right in the first place. That'll do 'er 🙂

Did you seriously think that this wasn't the very first thing that every intel mac owner thought as jobs announced wifi for the touch?

Not really. I was being kinda sarcastic but a lot more people took me serious than I had originally thought. At the end of my post I also asked if anyone had any other things they might have thought of doing with their iPod Touch. I should think more carefully next time before throwing around that "G" word 😛
