Correction: Apple introduced this on Feb 8th, I was a bit behind…

Apple introduced a 1GB iPod Nano today at a $150 price point. With a 4GB Nano costing only $250, are they going to get many buyers? I dont think so… It’s nice to see that they are offering iPods of all types and at many different price levels, but I think ultimately they are confusing consumers. I remember waiting on the iPod line during the holidays. They just had people point to the one they think they wanted, people didn’t even know all the differences. It was the employees who were trying to educate everyone on why each ipod is very different, yet still an ipod.

I was going to write up a step by step guide for securing your wireless network, but there are tons of them already out there. This one at about.com is well written and should provide you with plenty of info to get started. What so many people don’t understand is that these devices are not “plug and play”. You absolutely need to configure them. If you don’t, its equivalent to taking all your files, family photos, finances, etc and dumping them on the front lawn. Especially if you don’t use passwords or securtiy on your computers. And doubly so if you live in a densely populated area.

Microsoft just announced that Windows Vista will be available in 8 flavors. Now, that’s just stupid. As if Windows XP Home and Pro wasn’t enough to cause confusion among the masses, this will be complete chaos when it finally does come out. By the time Vista actually ships, Apple will have revamped their whole product line to be completely Intel based (read: FAST). So, I think that when the time comes, and people start asking me whether or not to upgrade to Vista, I just might refer them to apple.com to check out what OS X can offer them.
