In answer to Kevin, I would also like to see am more “GenX” community gathering. Maybe we could work with the guys with “weird hair” at the Apple store to get something started. If you want, shoot me an email through my blog at http://www.thicke.org.

The ability to rate songs is there on my 3rd gen iPod but I can’t remember if it was there before a couple of firmware upgrades I’ve done to it over the last couple of years. I only discovered that I could do this recently, along with the ability to use the scroll wheel to whizz backward/forward in a podcast/song - also via pressing the centre button - which is much quicker than using the rewind/forward buttons.

I see the MacCast is just two votes away from #1 on podcastalley! I can’t remember the MacCast ever being #1 before since I started listening a few months ago. Just two more votes folks! Here’s the page to vote for the maccast:

Demystifying Metro

I was listening to Adam Christianson’s MacCast and I heard the term Metro for the first time. By golly, have I been living under a rock?! I googled (of course) for Microsoft Metro and found some good links. I won’t bother posting …

Jack Kirby… The comic book artists I hated as a child but have much respect and appreciation for as an adult…

As for Acrylic, as a pre-press professional I can see it having the same importance as Microsoft Publisher. In the professional world of print houses and design, it’s all Macs. Publisher costs customers and clients more money to use due to increased pre-press time and improper use of color seperation. I excpect the same from Acrylic.

Also, the Microsoft Acrylic beta is Windows only.

Great show, as always. FWIW though, I’m pretty sure that the ability to rate songs on the iPod has always been there (or at least it has for a long time)…it’s not unique to new models.
