If you connect your iPod to a home stereo, powered speakers or TV set, the Apple Remote lets you experience your songs, slideshows and more from across the room. Just plug your iPod into the Universal Dock and choose a playlist, slideshow or video. Then, sit back, relax and enjoy. Ready to move on to the next song? No need to get up from your sofa–just press the forward button on the Apple Remote. Phone ringing? Just click pause, then pick up where you left off. The Apple Remote offers play/pause, volume control and forward/back buttons.Apple Remote with Mac
Included with the new iMac G5, the Apple Remote gives you total command of your music, photos, videos and DVDs from anywhere in the room. It combines with Front Row — a menu-driven, full-screen interface — to make accessing your iMac’s digital bounty from any seat in the room as simple as navigating your iPod. When you click the Apple Remote’s Menu button, your desktop fades and Front Row’s sleek interface takes its place to give you control over your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, the videos in your Movies folder and whatever DVDs you want to play. Turn up the volume. Shuffle. Skip to the next chapter on your DVD. Play a slideshow, a home movie you made in iMovie, even a movie trailer. Just sit back and enjoy the show.

A quarter inch thinner than the 3rd gen ipod, has a touch pad navigational system(like the 3rd gen) with click functionality of the mini. The center “apple” button serves as the on/off button/select button instead of play/pause in the older versions. The apple in the front and back glows (when backlight is on) like the TiBook and iBook.

The Apple Click Wheel, to facilitate easier navigation of the now more efficient menus, longer battery life (12 hours) and a faster charging cycle(2 hours) has been incorporated into the new model of the iPod, along with slightly thinner casing. It is also a little cheaper too. You can now purchase a 20GB iPod for $299. Or a 40GB iPod for $399.
Shorter, thinner & lighter than the 3G, with a new orange backlight. Consists of a thin high-contrast, low power-consumption organic display sandwiched between an aluminum casing and a hardened quartz faceplate. Scratchproof, the quartz acts as a prism, giving the illusion that the display is floating directly on the iPod’s surface. The high refresh rate even allows you to run simple visualizations behind the scrollwheel. Want a black iPod? Just choose “Invert display” on the menu.

The Bugatti brand is one of the automotive industry’s oldest marque’s, and it has plans to make a public and very loud comeback with what could well be the fastest production car to ever hit the blacktop.
After what seems like years of teasing us with prototypes, mock sketches and the odd mention of a 1001 brake horsepower engine, the Bugatti Veyron is finally finished and will be sold to European markets late in 2003, and America and Asia Pacific territories after that.
While the Bugatti name is essentially Italian, Carlo Bugatti (father of Ettore Buggati) left Milan for France in 1904, and the marque has since built its cars in Molsheim, France.
Today, the Bugatti name is owned by Volkswagen, and the new Veyron supercar has also been styled by the Germans, yet despite this many of the die-hard Bugatti fans are still pleased with the car’s appearance.
The Bugatti Veyron was formally announced as ready-to-go by Volkswagen in Monte Carlo recently.
The new all-wheel drive Veyron has more power than the current crop of Formula One cars, and with its massive 8.0-litre, quad turbo engine, carbon fibre-reinforced chassis and aluminium body panels, there are few cars out there today that combine such technical sophistication with a look that’s quite unorthodox, yet strangely appealing.
Price: $1,300,000
