I’ve heard about podcasts and applications like iPodderX that supposedly make it really easy to transfer podcasts over into your iPod. But somehow the idea of listening to some fellow’s scratchy recording of his rambling or rantings simply didn’t appeal at all to me. So I greeted the news that iTunes now has integrated podcasts capability with a yawn. In fact, I was more intrigued by the news that the 20GB iPod now comes with colour screens too..hehe..

It sure feels nostalgic to see Tom’s Hardware list every single known computer processor released from 1995 to 2005 on this article and this one. Resurfaces memories of the very first PC I’d ever built way back at the end of 1995 – an Intel Pentium 100MHz based machine. And now, almost 10 years later (even if I’ve had it for almost 2 years now), my PC has an (effectively) 2500MHz processor! That’s like 25 times faster, and my PC…
