iPod Original, 12 Years To The Date.
The original iPod was introduced at Apple Campus by the late Steve Jobs on October 23, 2001. It went on sale on November 10, 2001 and retailed for $399 MSRP.
Twelve years later, the iPod pre-ordered on October 23, 2001 is still in my possession. It still works.
I loaded a collection of Christmas songs from iTunes Music Store which is the latest cash-grab-attempts by Bad Religion, aptly titled “Christmas Songs“.
I used this iPod for many years until I got a free iPod mini in the Summer 2004 thanks to Apple’s “Back to School” promotion.
AmazonSmile
I have recently made aware of AmazonSmile, which apparently has just launched at the end of October, 2013.
What is AmazonSmile?
AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to your favorite charitable organization. You can choose from nearly one million organizations to support.…….
How much of my purchase does Amazon donate?
The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchases. The purchase price is the amount paid for the item minus any rebates and excluding shipping & handling, gift-wrapping fees, taxes, or service charges.Can I receive a tax deduction for amounts donated from my purchases on AmazonSmile?
Donations are made by the AmazonSmile Foundation and are not tax deductible by you.How can I learn more about AmazonSmile?
Please see complete AmazonSmile program details.
Personal note:
I am now using AmazonSmile with an Animal Care Center as my charity of choice.

High Fructose Unicorn Syrup The Cat
We might as well call him High Fructose Unicorn Syrup The Cat, because he is so sweet. OK, his name is still Rufus Cornelius “Unicorn” The Cat.

Built-In USB Interface on Western Digital Hard Drive
This is one reason why I will not buy Western Digital Passport Hard Drive. It has a built-in USB interface on the hard drive itself instead of Serial-ATA one. I prefer to have hard drive that I can physically mount on other devices through Serial-ATA instead of USB.
