The new iPod Shuffle (Generation # 7848..i lost count LOL)

Today apple released its new iPod shuffle, available in 2 colors: silver and black. To create the world’s smallest music player, they moved the controls from iPod shuffle to the earbud cord. This allowed them to make the new iPod shuffle dramatically smaller, but not just for dramatically smaller’s sake. It’s also easier to use, with the controls located where one can access them quickly. The controls of the new iPod shuffle are located on the right earbud cord. With command central now strategically placed in this more convenient location, one can navigate your music — and activate the VoiceOver feature — without taking ones eyes off your run, your ride, or whatever you’re doing. Even the iPod shuffle clip gets the rock star treatment. Now forged in stainless steel, the clip attaches securely to your shirt, jacket, workout gear, even your backpack. And the sleek, durable, anodized aluminum case — available in silver or black — makes iPod shuffle a wardrobe essential. And yes, there’s still room for personalized engraving. Musically speaking, the new iPod shuffle is brilliant, thanks to an exciting new feature called VoiceOver. Say you’re listening to a song and want to know the title or the artist. With the press of a button, VoiceOver tells you as the music dips down. It even announces the names of your playlists. And when your battery needs charging, VoiceOver tells you that, too. You’ve probably made multiple playlists in iTunes. One for your commute. One for the gym. One for just chilling out. With the new iPod shuffle, you can sync your playlists and always find the perfect mix for your activity or mood. VoiceOver tells you the name of each playlist, so it’s easy to switch between them and find the one you want without looking. A French love song. A Spanish bolero. An Italian cantata. Your music library has songs from all over the world. That’s why VoiceOver speaks 14 different languages. So it can tell you song titles and artists in the correct languages.

The Dream – Love vs Money [Review]

Over the past couple of years, The–Dream has become, as he repeatedly boasts on Love vs. Money, a “radio killa . . . R&B gorilla.” The Atlanta recording studio that the singer — songwriter shares with beat magician Tricky Stewart became a virtual hit factory, churning out tuneful and inventive smashes for the likes of Rihanna (“Umbrella”) and Beyoncé (“Single Ladies”).

But with his second CD, the man born Terius Nash leaps into another league. These 14 songs draw on pro forma R&B subject matter: sex, sex in VIP rooms, breakup sex, makeup sex. But the combination of classicist songcraft, wild sound collage and a muse that partakes equally of the sensual and the silly makes Love vs. Money far more than just an accomplished genre piece. The most obvious model is R. Kelly, whom Dream name–checks in the swirling slow-jam “Kelly’s 12 Play,” a tale of a musically enhanced sexcapade. “Sweat It Out” is a hilarious conceit about sex and grooming that begins with Dream cautioning, “Girl, call up Tisha, your beautician/’Cause your hair is gon’ need fixin’.”

Tricky’s beats call to mind both Timbaland and Trent Reznor, filled with blasts of dissonance, jazzlike chord changes, and background shouts and hisses that ricochet across the stereo spectrum, and in the six–and–a–half–minute mini–epic “Fancy,” a symphonic multitracked chorale. The end result is genuinely odd: at once avant-garde dance music and radio-friendly pop, sex farce that is genuinely sexy. There isn’t a weak song on Money; most of them are unforgettable. “Cupid ain’t got shit on me,” Dream sings. In 2009, Cupid’s not alone.
