* The chipsets are indeed too expensive to use pointlessly (lack of mass production); TRUTH
* There would be no charging speed benefit. It's capped by the speed that the battery will take a charge. That's why they don't stick 40,000-watt cords into your cell phone at night to make it charge in .0002 seconds... it can't happen. rechargable batteries like this need a very low input to charge right (i believe heat is the underlying issue here) which is the reason for power adaptors. TRUTH
* The iPod update has been rumored for about three months now. I've been telling you people to go buy one anyway. None of you listened. Had you, you'd have been listening to an iPod this whole time
INDEED
* FW800 being 'cooler' is not a reason for Apple to do it. TRUTH
* Bluetooth is too slow and Airport too power-consuming to be used, as well as size issues I believe. And antenna, after all it *is* sitting inside of a metal box... TRUTH
*USB2.0 is a redundant technology that should not be supported for any reason. the iPod is the fastest and best (correct me if i'm wrong) selling MP3 player ever, so I think they've done well on FW. YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT. REDUNDANCY != BAD. USB 2.0 IS ANOTHER BOAT APPLE HAS MISSED (THINK SCANNERS....)
* I have a friend that moved away from Columbine a couple of months before it happened. He could have been killed if he had stayed. And he uses that phrase a LOT more frequently than I do (that being once). Unless you lost a loved one there, relax! If you empower the actions that they took, you're encouraging it's repetition. WTF? WHY DOES HE KNOW HE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED? UBER-JOCK WHO STARTED IT ALL, I PRESUME. THERE IS NO POINT TO THIS STATEMENT, NOR MY REPLY.
i'm not really this big of a bitch most of the time, as some of you know, but this iPod update thing is *really* burning my ass. so apologies. NO WORRIES.
