My iTunes Top 35

Here are the most listened to songs in iTunes. For those that are wondering why the highest numbers are so low, remember that I haven't been using iTunes 4 for very long.

I have to say, I was fairly surprised by the results. Some of these songs I didn't realize I had listened to as much as I have (Without Me and Breaking The Habit come to mind).

I also absolutely love how "You Can't Always Get What You Want" is immediately followed by "All I Want Is You." :)

So tempting...

For just $678, I can get a 1.42GHz Mac mini with an internal AirPort card (memory upgraded after). That's only about a month's worth of bills... *sigh*

It doesn't help that it is over 3 times as powerful as my current machine. Grr.

Awesome new Apple stuff!

Wow, a slew of new things from Apple today. Where to begin...

Mac Mini. Wow. A super-small Mac at a super-low price; $499 for the low end, $599 for the high end. The 1.42GHz model is 3 times more powerful than my current G4, and considering the fact that I don't need much of the upgradability that a tower offers, the Mini is a very attractive option for a new computer for me.

iLife '05. Apple has upgraded their consumer-friendly software suite across the board, with full-version upgrades of iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto, and GarageBand. iTunes got an upgrade too, to work with the...

iPod shuffle. No, it's not a dance step, it's the latest member of the iPod family (which also includes the iPod, iPod U2 Special Edition, iPod Mini, and iPod Photo). This tiny-tiny (less than 1 inch wide, and just barely over 3 inches long!) is the cheapest iPod ever made, at a cost of $99 for the 512 meg model. You use iTunes (of course) to load it up with music, and then you can switch it from ordered playing (to play your playlist as you deemed) to random playing; while that isn't especially astounding, it is a cheap and easy way of adding some additional functionality to a very low-cost item.

iWork. This odd, almost Microsoft Office-competing suite contains two programs: the formerly stand-alone Keynote program, made to compete against Microsoft's PowerPoint, and the poorly-named Pages, which is a new program meant to compete (I guess) against Microsoft Word. Keynote 2 got a significant upgrade, boasting several new and improved features, but since I'm not that familiar with Keynote 1, I couldn't tell you what those are.
