Happy Birthday Apple: The Lost 1984 Video! "A never seen before video of Steve Jobs intorducing Macintosh in January 1984 was just dug up and posted for the first time today. The video had been recorded by Apple-fan Scott Knaster on Betamax 21 years ago." [MacSlash]

iPod shuffle - easy and small -- Comment()
Who Needs a Screen? "It is, in fact, the only micro-size digital music player worth a damn, because in place of a tiny and unreadable screen, Apple has installed a full-size and comfortable set of buttons in the familiar iPod wheel arrangement. Operating other players its size is a lot like trying to set the time on a $5 digital watch." [Apple Hot News] I got yesterday my 1 GB iPod shuffle, and have loaded 1/4 of it with music and half of with files (presentations, books, reports etc.). The sound quality is nice even at 128 kbit/s AAC, and even though I don't have usb 2.0 on my iBook and PowerBook, the files do transfer fast enough. I'm carrying the new iPod around my neck. Now I can have both my music and my files on the go. And I agree with the usability assessment: this thing is one of the easiest things to set up and use I have ever tried, including the 20 GB iPod I have at home.
