Why? Because, as usual, Steve Jobs and his cronies have released a newer, better Nano. Poor 3rd generation Nano; so short and squat. Now she’s getting overshadowed by her taller, thinner replacement.

I know how that goes.

The new Nano – built with cleaner and less toxic materials – also comes in a full rainbow of colors and is the perfect combo of portability and function (sorta like this guy). New features include longer battery life, a larger screen and the landscape view for viewing cover flow and movies.

The coolest thing about the Nano, though, is that you just have to give it a little shake to shuffle your songs. That might be the coolest thing ever. And the reason why, as usual, I will be buying another Nano.

Damn you, Steve Jobs. DAMN YOU.

Aw, remember when it was thefacebook.com and you would get emails saying that so-and-so had “changed your wall?” Those were the good ol’ days. Facebook has ballooned into a beast of social networking– but not a scary beast, more like a clean, organized, sterile, happy monster.

After the minifeed debacle of last fall, I deactivated my account in protest, only to reactivate it a month later and subsequently embark on a three-month oscillation between the two. I still don’t really like the site. I don’t like that people can see when I’m online, I don’t like the chosen shade of blue and I don’t like that I’m never tagged in pictures and that no one ever writes on my wall anymore, which makes it look like I don’t have any friends…

I digress. Last night, Facebook unveiled some new little things for us to enjoy, such as the reorganization of icons and tool bars to allow more efficient social networking/stalking. Mark Zuckerberg has learned a thing or two and will only introduce modest changes like these over large periods of time by incorporating user feedback.

In any case, to my chagrin, The Facebook remains an overlord of the Internet. Luckily, I also have my gritty, disaffected Myspace page for when The Facebook going gets rough.
