Getting What you pay for: A (sort of) case study.

So the other day, the local paper came through my door and, being bored, I gave it a quick glance. On the front page, amidst a story of a brave tom cat being involved in some sort of gun based ordeal, I noticed a large full colour advert for a local web design company offering “professional” websites for small-medium businesses for as little as £200!

Photos on iPod… GRRRRRR!!!

On the whole I like the way you manage media on your ipod using iTunes. It’s a pretty simple drag and drop affair for music, podcasts videos and playlists… However, I find myself totally frustrated at how photos are handled! You can’t just drag a bunch of photos to your iPod… oh no… you have to go through a very unintuitive sync process. That’s not the worst part though. What I want to use the photo functionality for is to take my favourite shots from my recent outings away with me to show my friends down the pub. I don’t want to keep a full library of photos on there. Once I have some new ones, I want to take the old ones off and put the new ones on. Simple. But because of the needlessly convoluted method of syncing, the easiest way I’ve found to do this is to create a folder called ipod or something and put my latest photos in there for syncing and remove them when I’m done. This way, the next time I sync it will overwrite the photos on the ipod with the empty folder or any new images that I’ve put in there.
