Apparently, Apple is planning to make some sort of announcement today. This is the headline from washingtonpost.com I fail to see how this is news, but all the free PR Apple gets from the large media companies must save them a fortune in advertising costs.

[From Apple Plans Announcement Today - washingtonpost.com]

UPDATE: Big surprise, it’s a new iPod. You can read about it at the Washington Post. Don’t want to read about it at the Post? You can also read about it at the New York Times or BBC. Le Monde probably won’t go to press until tomorrow.

I’m upset with the folks as Lifehacker. Apparently, I’m not good enough to comment on their stories, so I’ll post it here.

Lifehacker has a story about how to turn your iPod into a backup drive. I suppose they think they’re being clever by using the iPod’s “Enable disk use” feature. Since thousands of iPods are lost or stolen every year, your backup simply becomes an image of all your sensitive documents.

Way to go, Lifehacker. You’re encouraging people to make identity theft easier.
