The Tune Blocker is a product from Matias that acts as a sort of cable gateway between your iPod and your computer/iTunes. If you own an iPod, you’ll know that it’s sometimes annoying to connect your iPod (or somebody else’s iPod) and watch as iTunes opens and syncs your media. Sometimes, you just want to charge your iPod via the computer — not sync it!
I’m not really that impressed by the announcement of the new 17″ MacBook Pro, but I am really fascinated by the technical video behind the laptop’s integrated battery. Apple put this same video up on their website (higher quality there) and I’m really loving the close-up views of the machine/factory where these batteries are made.
No other laptop company really talks about their battery components in this same way, so I don’t know if this technology already exists in a laptop on the market, but man does Apple really know how to make the most boring topic seem extraordinary.
