shuffle, part deux

a worthwhile shuffle II review in macintouch. i agree with most of it; i do belong to that portion of the male population who cannot tell green and amber colors apart. having used the new shuffle for a couple of weeks, i agree that the clip is done just right. this one definitely belongs in moma: it shows how to be a minimalist without being inhuman or stupid.

[amusing contrast: ikea's coffee mug design ad, which shows how a little gap at the bottom of the cup stops the water from pooling during washing. a little drop gently rolling down. whow. wonderful bottom design. alas, this mug happens to have a handle that some people can barely put an index finger through, and obviously there is no room for any other fingers. so one finger to carry eight ounces of hot liquid... very, very bright: good bottom, but nearly useless handle for actual use.]
