Apple Insanity

September 1, 2010 in Mac stuff, Random crap | No comments

The new iPod Touches have been announced. Pricing is as follows:
8GB – £189
32GB – £249
64GB – £329

Let’s compare with the contract-less iPhone prices shall we?
3GS 8GB – £419
16GB – £499
32GB – £599

So when comparing like for like, at least as far as you can, you’re paying £230 extra for an iPhone 3GS or £350 for the 32GB iPhone. Isn’t that just stupid? Why would anyone do that? Yes, it’s nice to only carry one device with you but for £2-300‽ I blogged about this with the last generation of iPhone/iPod Touch but the price difference is even worse now.

The only other downside, besides the two devices issue, is that the iPod camera is pretty crap sounding compared to the 5MP iPhone camera.

Broken iBooks, cars and crying babies

February 7, 2007 in Beebe, Dull stuff, Mac stuff, Random crap | No comments

Of late I have been mostly dealing with the above, like so:

  • Chloe had a bottle of water leak over her iBook killing it dead so I’ve been sorting out the insurance claim and shall soon send it away to be looked it. I fear it’s the logic board but we shall see.

  • With us both learning to drive and with my test date looming large we’ve started looking at cars and also insurance. The latter comes in at around £1000 for both of us. Erk. As to the former we’re weighing up options and what we want (5 door, preferably diesel, nothing too big, good boot space) all of which means we may soon have to brave showrooms and the like. Oh dear.

  • Bee has gotten into a bad routine recently, due in part to illness and in part due to us and not enforcing her sleeping in her own cot as strictly as we should have. So we’re now addressing this but that means lots of crying (although less each night) and now she’s got a hoarse little voice from it which makes her sound ever so cute. Poor little girl. Still, with luck she should soon be back to sleeping right through once more.

And now it’s time for bed. G’night.
