Fiat Lux

Seen in Flickr today. Apparently it’s a gag, not for real.

On the one hand, this type of commercial would be a natural extension to the existing “I’m a Mac / I’m a PC” campaign Apple has been running.

On the other hand, would doing so give the Zune too much legitimacy? Probably.

I have officially had it with my 3G iPod. Although it works beautifully as a stand-alone MP3 player, I’m sick to death of having to spend 1-2 hours hammering on my PC trying to get the damn FireWire connection to work every time I want to sync it with iTunes.

I’m going to put them both up on eBay when I get home.

Although I’ve owned an iPod for quite some time now, and have bought at least 50 individual iTunes, today was the first time I actually bought an entire album from iTunes. It’s one I’ve been meaning to buy for a while but never got around to it, and decided I’d rather not wait for it to be shipped.

Rock out to Matisyahu, all y’all!

And now I need to remember to burn a copy to CD.

Looking at this assortment, I’m tempted to call it the “WTF Edition”. What a mess. That’s what you get when you randomize the entire list though.
