“how does it work ipod integration”

I’d suggest that you check out www.ilounge.comor your local electronics box store. Three basic ways 1) aux port (where you connect via headphone jack) 2) fm transmitter (there are many to go with, shop around, a lot) 3) full electronic integration (many manufacturers offer this now including car manufacturers, check to see if yours is compatible with an existing one or check out your local electronics big box)

“I want to use something other than an ipod”

Um, ok? www.anythingbutipod.com might help you there.

“Pioneer DEH-P6800MP sucks”

Can’t really blame you there…just don’t go with the VW one.

After taking a short break for some homework I finally picked one of the 5 articles I was thinking of and posted.

Click through to read about how hybrid devices suck and why we should go back to paper!

P.S. Stay tuned for another google answer session. Hopefully some time in the next few days.

Sony, please take a time out

New post at Arrogantics!

Sony, please take a time out
Why does sony always come out with useless eye candy? What can they do to change this?

Convenience or investment?

New tech post at Arrogantics!

Convenience or investment?
What would you choose: the convenience of a subscription service, or the investment of purchased music?

Moving on

I know I know! So soon after, I’m sorry. However, there were two that could not be ignored!

“Send buttons on cell phones”

Aside from something witty, truly there are not direct ‘send’ buttons. As anyone who text messages knows, we use whatever ‘action’ button is attached to ‘send’ at that time. The phone GUI will literally say ‘send’ and we press the corresponding action button. Kay?

“Sansa TiVo”

Ok, first you put in TiVo rather than tivo, so you must know something, right? This confuses and amazes me. Truly…if you happen on here again…please explain!

Not many, but I felt compelled to address some issues.

“power button on razr”

The red ‘call end’ button, should also have a power symbol? Perhaps a manual? Hmm? Although I commend you on spelling razr correctly.

“pioneer ipod front”

I don’t get it. Are we talking about the headunit’s faceplate…? Perhaps some crackPod I have yet to see? Hmm? Maybe screen shots of the pioneer unit running with the ipod…I wish I was psychic sometimes.

“razr buttons”

….it has them…does that answer your question?

Skimming through, few things I feel I should make comments on.

“razor cell phone buttons”

Ignoring the obvious mistake here, I can say that I kind of like the razr buttons. However, they’re a little hard to touch type on due to them all being part of one metal…whatever it is.

“gmail client for 8125″

It sucks. Okay, so it’s real pretty, but it sucks. Just use basic html view in opera mini. It’s the only thing that understands html and buttons.

“ipod integration VW jetta”

I don’t think I can say enough about how I hate the integration (circa 2006). Either suck it up with an aux port, or get a hard core fm transmitter.

“sim card placement on moto razor phone”

I think your spelling of ‘razor’ explains your problem here. Have you tried in the back, under the battery, in the sim card shaped area…?

“kiosk mp3 motorola”

Say wha…? You get the award for most plausibly confusing google search.

Dear Motorola,

On behalf of the people of the humans, I am writing you to request that you stop trying to bring sexy back.

Thank you for your time,

Ellie

Since when am I a Mac snob?

elliewix — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 01:24:59 +0000

As some may know, I pride myself on being an equal appreciator of both Windows and Macintosh operating system. I have the Mac Mini which I do most of my computing on, and an XP laptop. Lately I’ve been writing a lot of papers and doing a lot of work (i.e. anything other than watching fansubs and movies and chatting) on my mac over my laptop. So today I go into lab and I’m typing up directions in word on the sucktastic Dell boxes. I finish and look at it and think “Good god that’s ugly”.

Since when am I so spoiled by things being pretty? Since when am I a Mac snob?
