Cooler than an iPod?
An article I wrote yesterday for the new CBC Tech section on the new SanDisk music player has been Slashdotted.
I might not have posted this if it hadn’t been for a new definition of cool in the /. post’s comments:
How about Bruce Willis on a hoverboard listening to bootleg OGGs of George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic on a homemade altoids-tin music player, kissing Salma Hayek, and fighting Christopher Walken, Jet Li, the Rock, and an army of robot sharks with rocket-packs?
Gotta admit. That’s pretty darn cool. Except the sharks need frickin’ lasers on their foreheads.

On a quasi-related note, a CP photo search for ‘iBook’ brings up maybe four non-MacBook photos, all of which involve Steve Jobs looking as though he’s about to burst into song. It’s creepy.
And one of the pictures is of an old-school (iMac-style) iBook. The caption says it’s from the time when they came in either ‘tangerine’ or ‘blueberry.’
Yar.

Aah, the toilet seat! Someday, they’ll make “That 2000s Show” and one of the characters will never be seen without her raspberry iBook, carrying it around like a lunchbox.

Oh dear… there was no raspberry iBook… Key lime, then.
