Ready to shop with Nico?

Holy Moly! I don't want to be a love doctor or anything, but according to Cosmo magazine, Apple's 142 flagship stores are a great place to meet a man! Could there be a little iLove in the building?

"Most guys are natural gadget lovers, and with sales of iPods and MacBooks skyrocketing, more men than ever are stopping by Apple boutiques. The vibe at the stores is conducive to man meeting too: You can check your email among cuties, take a free workshop on anything from Photoshop to podcasting (a great opportunity to strike up a conversation), or just survey the, ahem, good-looking merchandise."

Here's a little You Got Served-esque moment from last year's NBA All-Star game in Vegas. I didn't know King James could bust a move. He's really doing it real big! Oh, did you see today's game with Cleveland and Chicago. Chi-town got pwned son! PWNED! King James! RAWRRRRR!

Are you an iPod-a-phile? I love my iPod, don't get me started. I'm trying to upgrade to an iPod Touch or maybe the Classic, but so far my 5.5G is doing just fine. One thing I acquired for christmas which I can't do without is iPod speakers. Sometimes, you just want to blast your music and getting a good set of speakers is imperative.

With a sleuth of speakers out in the market, there are some for the uber-rich, like Bose speakers, and some for normal, cheapskate people like you and I. Here is a real bargain for a set of iPod speakers.

Logitech X-240 Speakers
Circuitcity.com price $19.99, after 2 rebates

Logitech is a premier brand when it comes to home electronics, but after reading reviews on this iPod speaker set, it doesn't look too good. The speakers suffer from a few design flaws, especially with the awkward placement of control knobs. Also, the bass can be a little boomy.

Nevertheless, if you don't have a decent speaker set for your lovely iPod, this is a noteworthy pick up. If you already have one, then you might to let this one go. Sometimes, shiny black exteriors aren't as attractive as you think.
