I'm running an old 20" 2gz imac (dual monitors), macbook pro 2.2hz. My son has an iPod touch, my wife has an iPhone 3gs and an iPod Nano. Soon I hope to add a 27" iMac i7 to the collection!
Im on a MacBookPro right now. Yes, this computer is very old, like 2 years around. But it gets the job done, and has monthly updates. My mother has the Ipod. The orginal large one, like 32 gigabites i believe. Maybe more dont know. Im currently saving up for a islate or an iphone. Possibly a new apple computer if i get lucky!
The nice thing about the macbooks are even though they are expensive they have a long life span. Mine is about 2 1/2 years old and does just find. I recently upgraded it to 4gbs and added a new 320gb 7200rpm. There really isn't anything I can't do on it.
heck i can do that with a normal laptop now adays.
I don't have anything really, an ipod but that's about it. Most of the times when i want something i always have a tight budget to buy with, lol.
The only other Apple item I happen to own is an iPod Touch.
New guy here.....I own a 20" iMac - love it; an iPod Touch (ver 1); and two Mac Notebooks. I opted not to get an iPhone as I'm not a big lover of AT&T, but would consider the iPad later on with them.
Really? A TV? Mind showing a pic of that, never heard or seen one.Welcome to the show. Click to listen now!
Alec was an overworked journalist. Nick was an exhausted startup employee. A mutual friend forced them to grab beers together and forty-five minutes later, they had a new project to fill their nonexistent time. This podcast soon took on a life of its own. Nick starting hounding connections to book guests and Alec worked long evenings producing the content. Alec willingly switched jobs to a marketing firm while Nick was laid off from his startup. Over the span of six months, this is what they created.
America’s ability to create value has been crucial to its success. However, the current data surrounding innovation in this country is at historic lows. This issue is far too complicated for our team to solve. But our reaction is to talk to the outliers. The people who share a common goal to disrupt an industry. This is The Commonwealth.

A Climate Income (carbon fee and dividend) is a quick way to cut greenhouse gas emissions (40 percent within ten years), it’s cheap, and it protects the pockets of UK residents on low and middle incomes.
The fee is a charge for greenhouse gas pollution.
But it is different to VAT and petrol duty – the public is not charged.
The businesses who extract or import fossil fuels would be charged through a new law, according to the amount they burn.
The fee is set per tonne of greenhouse gases released from burning fossil fuels.
The dividend payment is vital to protect the pockets of UK people on low and middle incomes while humankind moves away from burning fossil fuels.
The fee on fossil fuels must be high enough to make this work.
But people must be able to afford heating and transport while we wait for clean energy to become the norm. And it must be popular with the voting public to survive successive governments.
All resident adults in the UK receive a payment, children half. The payments are equal, regardless of household income or carbon footprint.
It could be through an income tax rebate, as a benefit payment or through an app.
But it must a separate payout, labelled ‘climate income’ or ‘climate dividend’ to help with its popularity so the public is reminded that this extra money is to fight climate change and to help them budget for short-term rising costs.
It will most probably be a new law or an amendment to the existing one – such as the 2008 Climate Change Act – or introduced into a government budget.
This is why Citizens’ Climate Lobby works to influence our MPs and MEPs as our elected representatives in government and the EU.
Although the public won’t be charged directly (like petrol duty or VAT), we expect business to behave as usual – ie they will raise their prices to cover their higher costs.
So burning fossil fuels will become more expensive, but we don’t expect this to change behaviour by itself – clever businesses will stop using fossil fuels in their production because clean energy will be the cheaper option. And innovative technology will be encouraged because, again, it will be cheaper.
So better and more affordable clean energy options will be created and people will want to switch to the cheaper option.
We don’t have a choices to each do our bit! Usually the worst environmental option is the cheapest. Leaving it to personal choice and voluntary business agreements has not stopped the terrifying rise in global emission levels.
By creating change at a national level – through the UK government and cross-party cooperation – a climate income will help create a world where there are only good choices.
And the success and example of the UK can help lead the rest of the world in fixing climate change.
This is why fossil fuels are charged at source. Unless there is an equivalent carbon fee at the country of origin, fossil fuels – and fossil fuel intensive goods – will be charged.
There’s no place for emissions to hide.
It will not be cheaper to make a product outside of the UK and re-import.
This also encourages other countries to have a carbon fee – they would want to keep the revenue from their own fee (or give it back as a dividend to their own people) rather than give this money to the UK.
The UK has to protect its economy or we will swap climate change problems for instability.
So when businesses export their goods, the fee will be refunded.
Here is an explanation of a carbon fee and dividend from The Guardian.Dave’s father starts to spend less time at home. When he is home, he is sympathetic to Dave as they wash the dishes together. Dave feels safe with him, but soon his mother intervenes and says that The Boy (as she refers to him) should not be helped with his chores. Father now is rarely to be seen, and Dave is upset at his departure.
Mother starves Dave for ten days, making sure that he cannot find any scraps or steal any food. He lives on water. By the sixth day he is so weak he can hardly get out of his cot. One evening she gives him a plate of cold leftovers and tells him he has two minutes to eat it all. But before he can start to eat, she snatches the food away and puts it in the garbage disposal. On the tenth day, she again gives him some food and tells him he has two minutes to eat it, and this time he manages to do so.
Mother sends Dave to clean the bathroom. She puts a bucket of Clorox and ammonia in the room and closes the door. The fumes soon give Dave an adverse reaction; his throat gets raw and he coughs violently.  After half an hour his mother opens the door. Dave coughs up blood for more than an hour.
Mother sends Dave out to mow lawns.  Then she makes him sit on rocks in the backyard while she takes her other sons to the zoo. Dave is almost in despair.
When Mother returns she forces Dave to take a cold bath and forces his head under water. Then she leaves him in the cold water for hours. When she returns she orders him to put his clothes on without first drying himself. Dave is forced to sit in the backyard shivering in his wet clothes. This treatment becomes routine.
Dave begins fourth grade and has a substitute teacher. He likes her and she is kind to him, which gives him some kind of comfort as his ill-treatment at the hands of his mother continues. He is beaten with a dog’s chain and a broom handle and is forbidden to even see his father.
Dave is told to see the school nurse, who documents all the bruises on his arms.
At Halloween that year, his mother gives him the usual bathroom treatment, making him lie in cold water. His situation is getting worse and worse, since now even his brothers ignore him completely. At Christmas he receives a pair of roller skates, which is not as good it sounds because Mother forces him to skate outside for hours in chilly weather without a jacket.
In March, Mother goes to the hospital to give birth to another baby. While she is gone, Dave’s father allows him to play with his brothers and feeds him properly. Mother returns with a baby boy, Kevin.
Mother befriends a neighbor called Shirley and in her presence acts as a loving mother. She makes up a variety of excuses as to why Dave is not allowed to play with the other boys. Mother and Shirley fall out after a few months.
One Sunday Mother tells Dave she is sorry and that he is to forget all the bad things that have happened. They will make a new start together. She lets him take a warm bath and put on new clothes. He is allowed to eat with the rest of the
