Steve Jobs has announced that the iPod line has been revamped.  There are two camps of thought as to why this is being done. The first belief is that this is Apple’s way to put a positive spin on fixing the problems and errors of 2009.  The other view point is that Apple is shrinking the iPod to better streamline the available models and make their products more feature rich.   Whatever the reason for the change, Apple fans will love the features and improvements.

Like Toshiba as your preferred laptop? Well you may be due for a new computer.  41,000 laptops have been recalled due to overheating.  The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued the recall this week.  The affected models are:

I’m constantly amazed by the amount of scams that I see on the Internet, through email / mail and on AM Radio. Today, however, I may have seen the best one yet.

This looks totally official. And it’s priced so high, it’s actually somewhat believable that it’s real. But it’s not. They are charging $1000+ to put your Trademark on the Internet. I also love the Washington DC address to give a further air of credibility.

And if you check out the website, you’ll be further humored to find that it’s a Liechtenstein-based company which if you have a dispute, you consent to travel to their home turf to fight it. I hear that Liechtenstein is beautiful this time of year…
