Bright Eyes - Lover I Don't Have to Love

Neo-Lust

I have to confess something really personal. I'm in love. I think I have finally found the love of my life, the one and only that can make me complete. She is not the prettiest flower in the garden but she makes my heart melt. It is sad how I truly want her but she cant be mine at this moment. If only I could afford her. Introducing the Neuros HD20GB USB2.0 MP3 Digital Audio Computer.

You may be asking yourself "Why is Fred here aiming for something thats not an Ipod?" Well lady or gentleman (I think only one person reads this), see the Neuros here makes the Ipod look like a fucking lame piece of shit. The Ipod has the same number of features as the number of sits on a newborn's face (ZERO). When you buy an Ipod you are not being sold top-o-the-line technology, you are simply being sold a fad. Don't worry I almost bought into it too, and I'm a fucking genious. I could make this post a little longer by describing all the features the Neuros has, but im a fucking lazy son of a bitch, so I'll just list them (verbatim, off the website) here:

  • Intuitive navigation
  • Go anywhere size: 5.3" x 3.1" x 1.3", 9.4 oz.
  • 20GB hard drive holds up to 5,000 songs (encoded at 128kbps)
  • Use as a portable hard drive to hold any file you want to take with you
  • Digitally enhanced FM tuner
  • Recording to MP3 format from internal microphone, FM tuner, and line input
  • High resolution, backlit LCD display and button controls
  • 5 programmable preset buttons
  • 10 hours of continuous playback with rechargeable Lithium Ion battery
  • Automatic firmware and software upgrades
  • Neuros comes with earphones, car power adapter, wall power adapter, USB cable and Neuros
  • Synchronization Manager Software
Those are just the features. The product specs page (here) would make any other nerd ejeculate before they've reached the "NeuroCast FM Broadcasting" section. I am very good at controlling myself so I loose it after reading that section.

Another cool thing about the Neuros is it's manufacturer. Neuros doesn't condemn hacking or modding of their products, hell they actually encourage it. This is why it is so easy to use with Linux (the top reason I, so, dig it). Oh and it plays OGG VORBIS!

All I need is $250 plus about $30 more for a nice pair of canalphones and I am set for life. I will finally fullfill my dream of having the Zeppelin, Radiohead, Starsailor, and REM discography at the touch of my hands wherever I am.

Il papa

Throughout his reign over the "Kingdom of God," Karol Józef Wojtyła, better known as John Paul II to the faithful, won the hearts of the world, men or women, black or white, believers and non-believers alike. With just his simple message of goodwill he helped thwart communism in Eastern Europe. He brought hope not only to the Poles, but to the rest of the world. In 26 years he tried to correct the wrongs the Catholic church had done in 500. Religion aside, he was a great man that will forever live in the heart of his followers.
