Gamestop Now Buying Your iPod

So pretty much any Apple device made in the past few years is up for grabs. Enjoy trading in that $600 iPad for $100 or something credit. I'm just guessing there, but I bet I'm not far off. 

Woman Buys Fake iPad, Turns Out To Be a Block of Wood

A woman in Spartanburg, SC was approached by two guys in a McDonald's parkinglot probably about to go buy a case of Chicken Mcnuggets, and they asked her if she wanted to buy an iPad or a laptop computer. The men said they buy them in bulk, so this lady haggles them down from about $300 to $180, and thinking she made a good buy came home to open her box to find a piece of wood. It was at least sorta made into an iPad. 

My Day Yesterday

About as soon as I woke up this morning I get a call from my girlfriend. A company asked her to go get an interview and she got hired. She starts this morning actually. I wish her the best of luck. 

I'm actually trying to get a new job myself. The job hunt starts again tomorrow. 

Found out where the Halloween Express will be in my town this year. I can't wait until it opens. 

Also played Tennis and Ice Hockey for NES, and reviewed them both. 

Also found my lost pair of headphone buds. Now I can listen to my iPod Touch again. 

Blockbuster By Mail also sent me Batman Arkham Asylum for 360 right before I went to work. I wish my house wasn't so dead last on the postal route :( Oh well.... 

Steve Jobs Resigns From Apple As CEO

He will stay with the company but will no longer be CEO. 

That job will most likely transfer over to Tim Cook, a man Steve Jobs handpicked himself. Good luck to both of these men on their careers. 

Fact of the Day: Macs Can Get Viruses Too

Everyone dreads that nasty computer virus. Many of us spending hundreds of dollars every couple of years to make sure our PCs are protected against them. If you ever used Windows, you probably have encountered problems with them at some point in time. 

However Mac users usually spout "Macs never get viruses" which is a half-truth. A virus only attacks a certain operating system, so most virus makers usually make them for Windows for their near-monopoly of the computer market. However Mac sales are going up, so don't think your trendy new computer is going to be overlooked for long. 

Apple Becomes #1 U.S. Company in Terms of Monetary Vaule

It's kinda hard to believe how far Apple has risen over the years. A decade and a half ago, they were almost a joke to the computer world. Loved by many, but mocked by so much more. Then they came out with the iPod, and then the madness started from there. Now they are worth more as a company than Big Oil's Exxon Mobil. 

I only have one Apple product, and that's my iPod Touch. I only really have it because it's my mini-computer and I'm too poor for a smartphone. I actually went into an apple store the other day, and was amazed by how many people were shopping there. They don't really sell anything different from Best Buy, just a lot of Apple employees ready to make some money. 

Words with Friends Coming to Facebook

The popular Scrabble rip-off is coming to Facebook soon. I have the iOS app and liked it quite a bit.

Random Funny Picture Dump: Do Not Eat iPod Shuffle

God doesn't love you

This guy is awesome.

Played Magic Piano By Smule

Neat little app for my iPod Touch.

This piano shit is kinda dumb. More a virtual tinker toy than anything. 

I do like this mode though. I just wish the iPod Touch's screen had more room. This seems perfect for an iPad though.
