ipod hifi
yeah, yeah. just like everyone else, i’m disappointed in these ‘fun’ offerings from apple. however, i will say that the hifi is quite pretty. all those yahoos who are bitching over the design are idiots w/ zero design sense. just like all other apple products, it is clean and minimal. it’s freakin huge b/c:
- it hides the power transformer inside, so you don’t have to hide some monstrous brick of a power adapter
- it contains 3 speakers. while those could surely be smaller based on offerings from say, bose or klipsch, apple is certainly touting it as hi-fi. a double plastic case enclosure and something or other resin on the inside must do something for vibration and clarity.
otherwise, a more expensive mac mini and leather ipod cases? come on…
espresso, my sweet sweet friend
despite your bitter first impression, you surprise me and infuse me. you make me alive, excited, bursting with energy, ready to conquer the world! and the more i drink of your intoxicating essence, the sweeter you become, until you are nothing but a layer of sugar coating the bottom of my cup of java, my cup of life.
