Well any of you out there who really know me (like
parforthecourse) are probably saying to themselves did he just use the "L" word?? Fear not I am not talking about people or anything... I speak of iTunes and Gmail!! the two greatest things EVER!!!
iTunes: There's just something about it that cannot be described in words. Then there are the thing that can: really super easy (even computer incompitants like myself have no probs). They have smart play lists that like say put all of my songs from the 90s into the 90s playlist (then I like open it and I'm like whoa is that from the 90s am I really that old?). Or you could make your own samrt playlist that would like automaticly put in every song you download/have already downloaded that say contain the word rain in the title but ommit songs by the emminem (cause he SUCKS ASS so I don't actually know why your downloading his music in the first place) but still limit to time (minutes or hours), size or the number of songs! genius! Then they also have online radio stations ("but so does winamp!!" you say? well deep down we both know that winamp sucks!). Last but certainly not least the "Party Shuffle" ahh the party shuffle were to begin its like the brain child of some really smart guy and this like really hot chick with another guy hitting them over the head with a (hockey) stick saying "Why didn't you think of this before!!!" (fools) anyway so It's like rad and all like words like can't even like begin to like explain it, like okay? But I'll try anyway (begin that is the rest you'll have to experience yourself) first it randomly takes songs from your library or a playlist, k, then you can choose to show 5-100 of the previously played songs and 5-100 of the upcoming songs (I have it set to 5 previous and 25 upcoming, which just fits the screen perfectly. So none of that anoying scrolling for me! ;) ), but the true "why can't I do that on winamp" brilliance is the fact that if you see an upcoming song that you really wanna hear before the next one you can just move it up the list!! you can move any of the songs around anyway you want while its playing actually! The there is the fact that you can choose to play higher rated ('cause you can rate all your songs from 0 stars to 5 stars) more often! brilliant! Then there's the music store which doesn't really apply because since we're (or I am anyway) Canadian we once again get left out and are not able to perchase music from them, but you can still click an any of your songs and see all the other songs on that album (and listen to a preview of it), all the other albums from that artist/band (that they have added so far that is), and you can even read a bio of the group too (where I learned the interesting history that is Sunny Day Real Estate) there's alot more and a bunch more to discover but I think I've waste enough of your time on this subject (that you'll never get back by the way) for the time being.
Gmail: First 1GB of storage! And you can google search your emails for key words, and when reply to emails it comes up like a conversation and keeps the hole thread to together, and you can try to cryptically spell cool stuff with your user name + the at symbol + the g form "gmail". I just suggest not calling your email f@gmail.com *not that there's anything wrong with that*! OH! and gmail auto refreshes too! Which is actually the coolest "hay what took everybody so long to think of that?" thing about it. (and now I found the "gmail notifier" which lets you know when you get a gmail (like when your using MSN and you get an email to your hotmail account!) you can get it here:
http://toolbar.google.com/gmail-helper/ there Lou now its puuurrrrfect!!!!). Ah! Gmail it must be experienced to trully belive!
Bye, bye for now then! -Christian-
P.S. I've gots me self four invites (I had six but I sent one to me ma, and I offered one to WISHIAH, aclever way of getting her email/gmail if I do say so myself!) for anybody who wants 'em. Hey Dman feal free to fill in any blanks as to the reasons of greatness for these too ;)
