An Apple dilemma

I was checking out the new Ipod releases today and I am starting to ask myself this question, "When will people start to realise that the Ipod is just another music player?".

Being an Ipod owner for more than 4 years, I personally enjoyed my 5th gen video Ipod. However, I guess I am just looking for something more groundbreaking from Apple. In fact, I was waiting to buy an touchscreen Ipod back in 2006. Unfortunately, it didn't happen back then.

Although we have the Ipod touch 2g today, I guess the Iphone 3g overshadowed its ipod breathren in many ways. If the ipod touch were to be released before the Iphone, it could have been a huge hit.

Guillotine and I

"Guillotining" was a service provided by my school's printery. That was what I observed on the paper box that was used to store my new notes for my finm 7406 in the 2nd half of the semester.

When I saw the word, I can't stop myself from imaginning the time when they used the guillotine during the French revolution. One "Swoof" and the head of the executed is gone. What if the printery in France was responsible for performing the guillotine service back then?
After looking up on the entry about "Guillotine" on wikipedia, the guillotine was said be retired as a public execution tool after Napoleon. But it brifely earned a spotlight in Hitler's sight during world war 2 and many of them were made to execute Hitler's opponents.

Anyways, back to the story, the guillotine that we all know is just a paper cutting board today. However, I just can't help myself from looking for ambiguos naming of words since it proves to be a good source of material for stand comedy.
