It’s The Little Things

I was reversing into my car spot tonight, with the rain pouring down outside. Turned around to look out the rear window, and the rear windscreen wiper went on. I checked that I hadn't turned it on myself, and I hadn't.

Obviously, the car turned the rear windscreen wiper on when I put the car into reverse, because it was raining (since I had the front windscreen wipers on).

Nice.

HP releases their iPod

Thanks to Paul, I found out that HP have finally released their iPods. The press release/info page is here.

Not so sure about the designs. I like the simple white and metal finish of the normal iPod, and those look just… tacky. I wonder if the consumers will go for it? It's a good way for Apple to increase its market share, since HP has much larger distribution channels than Apple (as many others have said recently).

Team America: World Police Preview

As noted on Slashdot, the creators of South Park (Trey Parker & Matt Stone) have a new movie coming out that looks bloody hilarious. There's a Quicktime trailer (large size) here.
