Bless this Macworld, for we are unworthy of the bountiful fruits it may bring, You can almost smell it coming, and as San Francisco, the world, and the one and only Steve Jobs prepares for Macworld ’08, we prepare in our own small simple, occasionally convoluted, always funny, generally interesting way by throwing some iPredictions onto the iAltar of that which his Steveness will announce to those unMac-ed masses, those poor saps who are un-iPoded, un-iMaced and unReady for the deliciousness that is to come.
Are uReady? iAm.
iCame, iSaw, iPoded
iDan, iRick, iRinelli, iYi
Finally, after all the confusing pre-announcement entries on the website, Creative made official yet another world’s first – a phrase that looks to be part of Creative’s everyday vocabulary. 30 hours continuous music playback or 5 hours continuous video playback, and with Motion-JPEG and MP4-SP support now!!! But will the extended support be only for the 32GB, or for existing models as well? Stay tuned, and read on for the official press release article.

Rapidly up-and-coming anti-theft software website BAK2U.com recently gave us a few credits to try out GadgetTrak, their anti-theft software for everyday products from simple USB thumb drives to iPods. Here we show you the whole process, from registration to recovery.
Creative today announced with much pleasure that they have hit the 25million unit mark in MP3 player sales.
“Shipment of 25 million MP3 players marks a major milestone in Creative history, as our player unit volume exceeds the combined unit sales from some of the biggest names in consumer electronics,” said Sim Wong Hoo, chairman and CEO of Creative. “We believe that we now have our strongest lineup of MP3 and portable media players ever, as we coutinue to innovate with our recently introduced ZEN Stone, ZEN Stone Plus, and the credit card-sized ZEN.”
Tech65 is proud to be working with Creative, and heartily congratulate them on being recognised as number two in global unit shipments in the IDC March 2007 report on worldwide and U.S. flash and HDD-based portable media player shipments. We are curious, however, as to who managed to bump Creative out of first place.

Just three episodes ago, we discussed the unique features of local VoIP offering Pfingo. Shortly after that though, Starhub’s Chong Pow Min met Daniel and Farinelli, and unleashed upon them a techload of Pfingo gems. If enough people can fully embrace Pfingo, gee whiz the world’s about to get smaller than it is.
It’s a long video, but they say patience is a virtue. Web 2.0 FTW!!!
