Everything working fine here. Apple's iTunes, App Stores back online after unusually long outage SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Inc's iTunes and App Store came back online on Wednesday afternoon after an unusually long service disruption that the company blamed on an internal technical error. The rare 12-hour outage began a little before 5:00 am ET, after which users took to Twitter to vent their frustration at being unable to access the popular mobile apps store and online content service, using hashtags such as #itunesdown and #appstoresdown. Apple updated its status page at 5:04 pm ET to show that the disrupted services, including the Mac App Store and iBooks, were now functioning normally. The company attributed the outage to an internal Domain Name System error. More at: finance.yahoo.com o~~~ O

I'm considering buying a new music player for a possible long car trip I might be taking. Love driving and listening to music. I was looking at the iPods... Neil Young on TV tonight pushing his Pono player. Love the Neil. Seriously considering it. Its cross platform, plays flacs. Like that idea. Its a little clunky for carrying around but in a car might be better. The kicker might be the ability to add a 128GB MicroSD card. That would total 178GB. $399. ponomusic.force.com I have a lot of Duke Ellington music. amazon.com For a moment I thought maybe I can get a iPod Classic... Sheech what a boneheaded decision it was to get rid of that. They are going for $400-700 for new ones on eBay. Touch only goes up to 64GB. $299... I don't know if I want to get locked into a machine that might be force obsoleted. We'll see.
