I just remembered... I took that iPod to the "Genus Bar" at the ORIGINAL Apple store in Stanford Shopping Center (very high end place with Cartier, Nordstroms and Neiman Marcus as anchor tenants and Macys and Bloomindales for riff raff like me ) and asked them how to get my music in its folders that played on my flash music player... each artist had a folder and then the albums were sub folders with the songs in each. NOBODY in the "GENUS BAR" could figure it out... so I went home and figured it out for myself... and used it a few times at the health club until I got my first Nokia cell phone where I added a flash card with my music and ditched the iPod. simon.com simon.com

It is too bad that the Bang & Olufsen store isn't at Stanford shopping center any more. I was convinced that Jobs ripped the idea of his minimalist Apple store layout and "simple but beautiful products" off from B&O which was almost next door to his first Apple store before they moved to larger quarters. Now you have to go to Neiman Marcus at Stanford to see B&O products... And tell me these don't look like Apple products... or Apple products didn't copy the B&O look and feel of simple elegance. neimanmarcus.com

More things to not learn... #5 is my favorite! #5 Immortality: "Traditionally, aging has not been viewed as a disease that can be treated but this is changing. Actors in this space are increasingly looking to tackle the hallmark of aging via pathways such as ‘genomic instability, telomere attrition, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular senescence’ among others." 14 moonshot technologies BofA says investors must know For Next Tech to succeed, first the innovation must have the potential to be economical, then it must solve a key problem or improve quality of life, and finally, there must be government support in some way. Risks to the 14 ideas include the tech not being commercially scalable, prohibitive costs outweighing the benefits and regulation limiting applicability. seekingalpha.com
