“Will next Tuesday, 16 May see the debut of the much-touted red iPod? Let’s string together a series of coincidences and see if it will. We’ve no evidence – think of the exercise as a thought experiment. Apple was rumoured to announce its new Intel-based MacBook this week, on Tuesday. A variety of sources say the launch will now take place next Tuesday… Other sources have claimed that the announcement will be accompanied by new iPods, even though it’s much less than a year since the 5G iPod and the Nano were launched. Rumour-mongers have also suggested the MacBooks may be available in different colours,” Tony Smith reports for The Register.
“The conclusion that a red iPod is in the works was first drawn after U2 singer Bono suggested it in off-the-cuff remarks about his Product Red charity, a scheme that calls on famous brands to offer red versions of their products in order to publicise the African AIDS crisis. Next Tuesday, the day Apple is said to be announcing new, coloured MacBooks and iPods, Bono will be guest-editing a major UK newspaper the Independent, which is going red to mark the occasion,” Smith reports.

A red iPod. It’s about time commrade.
“- IT department heads will continue to cling onto the MS Windows platform with their last breath like rats on a sinking ship…”
Um, I think you have the metaphor backwards. Rats LEAVE sinking ships.
Or so I’ve heard.
As long as everything Apple makes from now on includes a Core Duo, at least 512MB RAM, a 60GB HD and a superdrive, they will sell plenty of hardware.
Of course, that 512MB gets gobbled up by integrated graphics somewhat.
Hopefully there will be a $999 iBook replacement that isn’t too gimpy.
Noraa Haras:
Peace doesn’t pay in the short term, and the fat impotent powermongering dudes are mostly just interested in short-term profit.
Bush and company have demonstrated that they are happy to obliterate our civil liberties, send our troops to die needlessly occupying a country that is of no consequence to us, allow our environment to be polluted and destroyed, and render the US dollar worthless through massive debt building. It makes me wonder what the “conservatives” are conserving.
I wish we had leaders who loved their country, and who could see past the end of their noses.
The red would be totally pointless and unbelievably ugly. Even worse than the black one.
I like red Ketchup.
There, I said it.

Yeah, definately.

No doubt the “Red” iPod will match the “Red” MacBook Pros from People’s Republic of China. I hear that the “Red” iPods will come pre-installed with those hip hits from the top socialist charts including,
“Sweet Socialist Dreams are Made of These”, “I’ve Been Thinking about You, (Karl Marx)”, “I’ll be There – to Lead the Revolution”, “Do you Think I’m Sexy – as a Communist Worker?”, “Girls Just Want to Have Fun at the May Day Parade”, “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming, Capitalist”, “Stairway to Heaven and Social Bliss”
Our iPods are already “Red” as in made in China. . .
macbones:
Yes, of course, but the other iPods don’t have the Politburo’s favorite finger-snappin’ tunes pre-installed. comrade.
Ryan, Mike, etc.:
The movement of RATS has little to to with the state of a ship as purely regards sinking; it has everything to do with whether they could find a hole big enough to fit through. Forward movement stops only when they can no longer find, or make, passage. They’d simply like their tiny little lives to continue.
Yes, a good CAPTAIN may indeed, on occasion, go down with the ship. However RATS, having no such honorable code wired into their peabrains, follow a much simpler one: Live. And so, if they can, they get the freak out of Dodge, while the Captain takes his last shot of the good bourbon.
Personally, I hoping for a new MacBook whose color contains the presence of all the frequencies of visible light. A little less cool is a MacBook whose color contains the presence of none of the frequencies of visible light.
Peace.
MW: those – As in I would like one of those before too long.
It makes me wonder what the “conservatives” are conserving.
That’s why I don’t agree with calling neo-cons like the Bush administration and the creeps at PNAC “conservatives”, because they’re not about conserving anything. We should call them what they are, “consumatives”. They’re about consuming everything they can…consuming our natural resources, our financial resources, and our human resources, all for short-term profit. Seems to me that’s the opposite of what “conservative” used to mean.
Conserving the rich and powerful at the expense of the general population.
Hey, screw you Tom, you big-toothed midget.
It is correct that Bono is not God. Nor is he a peace loving liberal. He is simply a self promoting poser with an ego the size of Bridget Jones’s bum and a face to match. Oh yeah, he’s Irish too.
I’m waiting for the iPod – Pop Tarts hybrid model. Tasty tunage.
Matt, you dont know the history of midgets……..or big teeth…. I do.
