So Apple came out with updated iPods yesterday and that sparked a conversation (with Meg and her mom) that Apple makes you feel like a chump whenever you buy something from them because a short while later they come out with something cooler/better/cheaper. Sure, the tweaked iPods are nice but where the hell is the wireless support and the direct camera link? (Yes, I've heard, they have a "small white plastic" dongle thingie to connect between cameras and iPods for $29 and it comes out in March. But still, another thing I have to carry or remember or potentially lose? And does it require batteries or not?)
My response to the chat was this: the pace of technology is quick, but the pace of cool is even quicker. That is the ultimate price you pay.
