Oops. I actually meant the iPood. My bad.
This iProduct is a revolutionary new trowel to aid you with waste disposal while camping. For those who have never heard of a trowel, it's a mini shovel used to dig the latrine (hole you crap in). Here's a look at the specs and this NEW iPood unboxed …

Yo from Cottonwood, Idaho. So right at this exact moment, millions of people have said goodbye to guests staying over and are now getting down to setting up the brand spankin' new tech gift they got for Xmas. I’m pretty sure without a doubt 99.99% of you folks will have some sort of trouble during set up. 50% of those people will eventually get whatever it is to work (with minimal tears). While the rest of us will be pulling our hair out and cursing anyone that comes within 10 feet of us. If you’re in the latter category, here are some support numbers that might come in handy.

Plain, drab colors aren’t cutting it any more for ear gear. Thanks to the apple for adding form to function, headphones too are including a bit of eye-candy into the mix. Just check what some of these up and coming H-designers are doing…
MOOD (Designer: Akin Bacioglu): Headphones, Bluetooth and sunglasses all rolled into one!
Elecom ($36.99): Buds with gold/silver embroidery and crystals.
Skullcandy: Attitude for the ear. Very graphic in design – using sports logos, designers (Paul Frank, Snoop Dogg) and of course, the naked head.
Deliberating if you should spend 9 bucks on the latest iphone igame? A mere drop in the bucket compared to these high, high priced apps. Though from the reviews each one is truly worth all of your hard earned ipennies.
XA1 offers sound engineers all the perks of a realtime spectrum analyzer, and the price is apparently a steal. Portable hardware models go for at least $1200.
Any app with "Medical" in the description pretty much guarantees a hefty price tag. Lexi-Complete does not disappoint. This app will give you access to any and every type info in the medical world: drug interactions, disease management, patient education, etc.
If you’re a CFO of a multi-million dollar conglomerate that needs access to financial reports 24/7 this is the app for you. Lets you sync to some proprietary money management software called Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains).
LEXTECH LABS IRa PRO ($899.99):
Now you can be a night watchman and never have to leave the comforts of your couch. Ira Pro offers you access to hundreds of security camera feeds in the palm of your hand. Not just simple images, you can receive real video streaming (over Wifi). Perfect if you want to keep tabs on a giant building or museum.

Sure you could go back before Apple’s second act and buy some dirt cheep stock, but where’s the fun in that. You won’t make a quick killing. Instead you’ll need to wait at least 15 years before you see any type of decent ROI (return of investment). Now if it was me, Feb 10th is my pick. I’d catch a plane to Vegas and put 5 grand on one Mr. James “Buster” Douglas. The next day at the Mirage Casino he was pretty much guaranteed (by all the odds makers) to get shellacked by Iron Mike Tyson. The final line was 42 to 1 and only one parlor in all of Vegas was accepting bets. Of course we all know how that ended in the 10th round. And I would’ve netted a cool $210,000. Then sadly I'd probably lose all of it from reinvesting in 2008. So is the circle of life. If you know a better day let me know.
As a mac user I can totally relate, with the help of certain psychedelics.

Big YO from Cottonwood, Idaho. Well, it’s been 12 days and I have absolutely no plans to update my iPhone to 3.1. Especially after reading these 3.1 tales of horror. Warning, the following forum posts are not for the faint of heart.
3.1 Update Problem - Hangs
After successful iTunes 9 software update I plugged in my iPhone 3G for 3.1 and on final completion of the iPhone firmware update iTunes will post error 1002 and states the phone is in recovery mode and requires a restore before installing new software update. The phone is currently a nice paper weight. I have tried entering into DFU mode but the iPhone seems to disappear from iTunes for a few short moments then reappears stating the same problem.
3.1 Hell
Hi all, I upgraded to 3.1 yesterday, all ok, until I tried to view video files on U-Tube, then today when i plugged into windows to back up and charge, the whole thing tanked, could not access etc. Tried back up and restore no help.
3.1 AHHHHH!!!!
32 attempts now over a 24 hour period using 1 pc and 2 laptops... Come on Apple *** is going on. Is there no testing before releasing updates??? I thought that was Microsoft’s job...I guess I'm going to have to dust of my old HTC Trinity with Windows mobile on it, at least hat still works.
I’m not saying I would have gotten the all-time high score on Archon (old puke green apple IIe game back in the day). Though, if I had the Zalman Mouse FPSGUN FG-1000 it wouldn’t have taken me 1,956 tries to beat the evil king. Basically, this is a mouse that looks and feels like a joystick (game controller for those post-Atari2600). And for you level 10 gamers, you do have the ability to change the sensitivity and toggling power (if that's a word) of the controls. Aside from shooting up zombies in dungeons, the Zalman Mouse’s ergonomic design also helps shield against the dreaded Carpal Tunnel.
When it comes to iphone apps I thought I officially saw it all with the advent IFart and Pull My Finger. Yep, I was totally iWrong. BellyButton is the new oddball, iphone app du jour. The name alone says it all. For 99¢ you get your choice of 7 belly skins: innie, outie, beer belly, six pack, hula girl, hairy and navel orange. All lint free. Like other apps, there is an interactive feature. Simply rub the belly and you’ll be treated to vibrations and giggle sounds (female, male & toddler). Tickle the belly too much and you get their version of an ifart. So if you’re looking for that perfect “awkward moment” generator, BellyButton is the app for you.
