iPod Original, 12 Years To The Date.

iPod Original 12 Years Bad Religion White Christmas

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.

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.

Mavericks Mail Update

Apple issues Mavericks Mail Update on Thursday November 7, 2013.

This update improves stability and compatibility with Gmail, and includes fixes for users with custom Gmail settings.

For more information on this update, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6030

Mavericks-Mail-Update

About the update

Mail Update for Mavericks includes improvements to general stability and compatibility with Gmail, including the following:

  • Fixes an issue that prevents deleting, moving, and archiving messages for users with custom Gmail settings
  • Addresses an issue that may cause unread counts to be inaccurate
  • Includes additional fixes that improve the compatibility and stability of Mail

One thing that I noticed the first time I used Mail on an early OS X Mavericks Developer Preview builds with Gmail:

  • Mail displays the contents of “All Mail” folder in the “Archive” section
  • Mail displays the contents of “Spam” folder in the “Junk” section.
