plasticbag : The new iPod Nano looks super sexy and the adverts are even sexier - I'm guessing they had glowsticks or something originally and the Nanos were edited in in post production? No idea really. Or I suppose it could be computer animation and they could have just been holding a placeholder of some kind that was easy to track.

plasticbag : Metacritic has the pretty much excoriating condensed versions of reviews for "Another Gay Movie" - Ah, my people. How proud I am. Anyway, it looks terrible, but I'll probably go and see it if only so I can write an outraged weblog post about how gay people are being turned into pets or self-ghettoising or something.

plasticbag : Another BBC News story 'reveals' that most iPods are filled with CD-ripped tracks rather than iTunes downloads - This can't be a shock, can it? My personal shift happened about three years ago from buying CDs to listen to towards thinking of CDs as music delivery systems. Best thing about them? You get MP3s you can do what you want with and you always have a backup.
