Why today’s Stevenote won’t convince me to un-hack my iPod Touch
This is a pretty simple, one sentence answer:
My main iPod tether is the 12″ PowerBook which doesn’t sport USB 2.0 which means I can’t update this rig beyond iTunes 7.4 without disabling the ability to connect my iPod to my PowerBook. I wrote previously one why I hacked the iPod Touch if you need more gory details.
The long-form is that I’m caught in that crossfire of wanting a truly portable mostly-creative machine (something His Steveness did deliver today) and also keeping a powerhouse machine (for the renders and the jobs that clients will just let me do my way). The real stickler is the “personal media” and the meaning/value behind the worklife/lifelife conundrum. Probably another post in there somewhere.
Anyway. No way in hell in hell I’m giving up my Pigshooter just to pay 20 bucks to have google triangulate me on a map. I bet it doesn’t work for shit in Vermont anyway.
But had Apple done this two months ago (and also not invalidated my 12″ Powerbook’s USB slots for syncing my iPod Touch) I would never have hacked it in the first place.

Cell Phone Ringtones and paying for them
I am beginning to regain my faith in the FSJ blog following the dirtbag outing because the posts are so damn on-target.
Two excellent industry call-outs allow me to re-suspend my disbelief. One that I can’t find anymore (regarding the whole NBC dustup) and another about the EFF whom I love completely but the call-out is best for the lovers because the EFF is living in a bubble in terms of what the average consumer does to get some ringtones (and, yeah, that’s why I love the EFF).
Aside
FSJ, I nominate you to succeed His Steveness in the unfortunate event that His Steveness is called back to Jupiter before I leave this world myself. But let’s get back on topic. Topic is:
