iPod Nano Reviewed and then Destroyed
I hope I’m not coming of sounding like an iPod Nano fanboy but Arstechnica did a rather interesting review of one. The reviewers went through the unique features in the iPod Nano and then proceeded to destroy it. Amazingly it was still playing music after being sat on, dropped, thrown out of a car, and driven over although the screen was broken. Finally launching it into the air is what destroyed it. They follow all of this up by taking the iPod Nano apart. Remember this is the 2gig model which is different than the disassembly of the 4gig I posted a few days ago.
A PSP and a black iPod Nano would go pretty nicely with my black Motorola RAZR V3, HP iPaq HX4705 PDA, and JVC 7310 laptop (to get a better idea of how small my laptop is, go here).

Ferrari 575 GTC
The 575 GTC is aimed at private teams participating in the FIA GT championship and will make its debut at the end of the 2003 season. It will also appear in other Granturismo series like the American IMSA and GrandAm series. The `C´ in the name stands for `competizione ´.
The 575 GTC is the racing version of the 575M Maranello. In order to cope with the demands of the track, it is equipped with even more technological advances than the superb road version .
The displacement of the 65° V12 has been increased to 5,997cc with a maximum power output of close to 605 bhp, and the car boasts a sequential shift. The track has been widened, the brakes increased in size and, thanks to the use of composite materials, the body has been lightened. The tubular steel chassis features boxed sections and the all-round wishbone suspension features adjustable antidive geometry.
The car has a split rear wing with a nolder. This set up is the fruit of extensive aerodynamic research in the wind tunnel, something that was also carried out for the adjustable front spoiler and the undertray with its rear extractor.

Windows Vista product editions revealed
I was reading Arstechnica about Windows Vista coming in seven different editions. For those that aren’t in the know, Windows Vista is the version of Windows that replaces Windows XP. It’s sort of a crappy plan in my opinion because no single version seems to give me what I want. I would like the Ultimate Edition minus the free downloads because those are useless to me. However, I want to the network backup solution provided by the Small Business Edition with the Virtual PC integration that comes with the Enterprise Edition. It just seems more likely that I won’t be upgrading to Windows Vista on any of my current systems because it isn’t going to provide me anything worthwhile. Yes, I can upgrade the RAM and video cards in the desktop machines but to what end?
