iTunes, iPod Round-up

iPod In response to a recent lawsuit filed over possible hearing loss the iPod can cause, the latest release of the iPod software adds new volume control limits. It even allows parents to set the max volume and lock it with a password.

Lost now has a season pass in iTunes. You can get the discount of buying the entire season, before the episodes air. 25 episodes of Lost would cost you around $50 if you buy them individually, or only $35 when purchased with the season pass. With the season pass you get all the existing episodes from season 2, and all future episodes - which download automatically. This is in addition to the multi-pass option that was added to some shows, such as The Daily Show and the Colbert Report. The difference is the multi-pass option gives you the most recent episode, plus the next 16.

Apple is again being sued by Apple, the Beatles’ record label. Who the hell are the Beatles?

Get Your Own 5-man Tank

Personal Tank Still waiting on your SkyCar? Why not get a personal tank to pass the time? Amazon has listed, the JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank, or The Donk for short. For $19,999 you can drive your own tank into battle.

  • Carries cargo or a crew of up to five internally or on the roof.
  • Piloted from within the armored shell or from an exposed standing position through the hatch.
  • 6hp Tecumseh gasoline engine, top speed 40 mph.
  • Includes head/tail and turn signal lights, trim and underbody lighting.
  • 400 watt premium sound with PA system, plush interior, and external camera.

For a good laugh, try reading the reviews of this thing.

I’ll admit it. Shopping for a personal tank can be a bit daunting. Many times in the past I’ve purchased overpriced, so-called “battle tanks”, then driven them into battle only to be wrecked in ten minutes by the first blow off of some insurgents home-made morter.

Britney Sculpture Set to Creep People Out

Britney Sculpture Daniel Edwards is preparing to unleash his latest sculpture in a Brooklyn art museum in April. The sculpture in question is a life-size statue of Britney Spears

“…naked and pregnant, crouching face-down on a bare-toothed bear rug as the baby’s head appears on the opposite end.”

There has been considerable criticism of Edwards’ odd pro-life sculpture. And his work is now the subject of a podcast, Send2Press.
