The rumors dispelled

Remember you heard this from me first

SirROM is a tool.

Oy, I don't think I've found a single JoT comic actually funny... poignant maybe, as a commentary on the tech industry, but it's just kinda tiring at this point. Meh.

hey cool! Thanks for the linky! :-D

Here's where the archived version lives, for those surfing in after the 28th...

Remember you heard it from me first!!

The new "iPod Boombox" is not what you think. Instead it will be wireless satellite speakers based on Airport Express. Each speaker will sell for $100 and have an integrated WiFi point so they will only need to plug into the wall outlet. Each speaker will have full stereo, so you do not need to buy them in pairs unless you want to. An added accessory will be the long-awaited WiFi dock for the iPod so the speakers can recieve input from the iPod or iTunes. Remember the low-key addition in iTunes 6.03 of the ability to stream to multiple speakers simultaneously? The new Universal dock will be updated to support a remote that is not infared so you can control it from anywhere in the house. Another addition will be a small dock-connected WiFi transmitter for the iPod itself (so you don't have to use the Dock), in which case the iPod will function as the transmitter and remote in one unit. Oh, and did I mention that each speaker will be approximately the SIZE of the current Airport Express? They will work with Bose to get great sound from a very portable design that everyone will want. These speakers will also double as a WiFi point for your computer.

Leave it to Apple to Think Different!

I'd buy the bobblehead anytime. I love those.

The Polaris sub ad is great, I remember that from when I was a kid reading comic books! ;-)
