The Wampa made me cry like a baby when I saw Empire in the theater as a kid. I like the idea of having it’s corpse warm my toes on a cold winter’s morning. I’m disappointed to see slave Leia is not included. Perhaps I’ll wait to see if they bundle them at a savings in the future.
What’s this a picture of? WRONG!!! Well, unless you said a “New Vibetech 8GB Scroll Touch Nano 4th Gen MP3-4 Player With Music, Video, FM Radio, Photo, Voice Recording, E-Book & More.” That’s right, not an Apple iPod, a “New Vibetech 8GB Scroll Touch Nano 4th Gen MP3-4 Player With Music, Video, FM Radio, Photo, Voice Recording, E-Book & More”.
Now, I have no doubt that an authentic iPod Nano is a better product than the “New Vibetech 8GB Scroll Touch Nano 4th Gen MP3-4 Player With Music, Video, FM Radio, Photo, Voice Recording, E-Book & More;” however, I do not believe the Apple version is as much better as it is more expensive.
So, if you want something that really really REALLY looks like an iPod, but you don’t want to pay the Apple tax, head over to Daily Steals and pick one up for $22 ($27 including shipping). But hurry, it’s today only, which is probably about as long as Vibratech will be in business once Apple notices.
As usual, Think Geek has come up with some great products this year. I’m completely sick of hearing about the “magical” iPad, but this iCade accessory would actually be pretty cool. Click on the picture to go to the product page. Maybe they’ll pull a Tauntaun sleeping bag trick and make it themselves.
Also, check out the canned unicorn meat. Disturbing, but fun.
So, maybe the directions aren’t perfect yet… note in the screen shot it has me off a good trail and on a busy city street to save a block or two on a 7 mile trip, but just the fact that Google has included trails as a route option is very nice. Thanks Google, you’re the best!
Hit up Google Maps to find trails in your neighborhood, and/or watch the video below for more information.
For those unfamiliar with Slacker Radio, it’s similar to Pandora but with a larger library including some comedy stations, oh yeah, and it has stations (pre-configured genre-based streams that are still configurable via your likes/dislikes).
If you’re a Slacker Radio fan with a WebOS device, check it out. Both of you.
While pretty much everyone agrees Windows 7 is the best Windows in the history of Windows (which it should be since it’s the latest, right?), Basic Instructions takes a look at why it feels so good to move to the new OS.
1/3 to 1/2 of of the benefit of any new OS is the cleansing powers of a fresh installation.

I was pretty tired about hearing about security vulnerabilities, but this news item linked from Google News caught my eye. Suddenly, I was interested enough in the topic to click through to the article. Unfortunately the full article failed to keep me interested.
But, if you’d like to learn more, feel free to click the screen capture below.
Ah, Verizon makes a funny. I’m on Sprint myself but enjoy the substantial coverage CDMA (the network technology Verizon and Sprint primarily use at the moment) has here in the US. If you want cool, it’s still tough to beat the iPhone. If you want a phone, well, Verizon is a pretty good choice.

Hurry, only valid through 9/18. Regularly $40, you can save 1/2 off Media Mall’s streaming app that brings Hulu, Netflix, and other online streaming sources to your TV. I know PS3 has a free solution to do the same thing and Xbox has a some of the functionality included with an online account, but as a Wii owner, I’d been left out in the cold. The Wii version does operate differently and is still in beta so be sure to try out the 14 day free trial.
Follow the link below the diagram for the deal.

I was just having a conversation the other night about reaching my maximum capacity for Apple related enthusiasm. Yeah, ok, their stuff is fine, but it’s really much more evolutionary than revolutionary.
In an attempt to balance the scales a bit, I offer this counterpoint that popped up on CrackBerry.com yesterday. Beware, there’s some language you probably don’t want pumped outside of your cube for all the world to hear.

Twitter really is kinda flakey. I guess no one suggested that it become a critical communication channel, and I’ve always gotten the impression that there’s more than a little duct tape holding the thing together. Still, it’s a little surprising when it goes down.
After some thought, I suspect the answer to “Where do you tweet that twitter is down?” is “Facebook.”
Alright, had it for less than a day, and already I’m hooked on my new (to me) Blackberry Curve. They really ought to market themselves better to the non-business crowd.
So far my favorite thing about it (other than it does everything it’s supposed to really well as opposed to pretty poorly, that’s right, I’m talking about you WinMo), is the Slacker app. It lets you cache stations on your memory card so in areas of poor service (like my house) you can still listen. And even if you are in an area of decent service, listening to cached stations requires less juice than listening over the air (listening to over the air streaming is fully supported too though so you don’t have to cache anything).
Eventually my love will undoubtedly turn into bitter hatred, but we’ll get to that later.
