Uh huh. So for 40 dollars more my two year old 30GB could become a new
80GB or I could risk DYI and end up with nothing.
They apparently take them in the apple stores where you can walk out
with your replacement. I doubt they have a pile of refurbished ones
sitting in the back room for this
I was thinking of the Apple Battery replacement program as a road to
an inexpensive upgrade for people with early model iPods or flaky
iPods. For $60 your first generation iPod becomes a more modern one.
That is a clever angle. But I would not want to swap the model that I
really like for some

The refurbs page at apple only goes back to the previous generation of
iPods and I think that is what they are most likely to ship out.
Apple's description of the program is here

little about what criteria they use for replacement

condition.As a whole, we are spending more than we are making and

Here is a fascinating story from MP3 Newswire...
... we reported on 149 portable players and NOT one iPod killer from the
bunch. As we were finishing up our Summer 2007 edition of the series it
occurred to us - what happens to all the unsold stock after these players
fail? Do they get crushed

Flash is OK for YouTube. It's wonderful for ads, since I use Flashblock.
Now I'm not distracted with flashing and blinking ads.
I HATE FLASH for content on web sites. I can't view the site at all
without waiting for it to load, even though it was much faster without
Flash. Worse, where there
You shouldn't be experiencing slowdowns just because you're viewing Flash.
Unless maybe you've got really old version or old video drivers.
I don't know either what the fascination is. Possibly because the only other
real alternative is .wmv and some people just hate anything to do with

We're approaching this from different angles. In the video world, .wmv is
most certainly a web standard. And it was long before .flv (Flash). But that
has nothing to do with your complaint about porky animations on websites.
But again, once the Flash is loaded, you shouldn't experience slowdowns.
