IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH YOUR MACBOOK. PLEASE CALL APPLECARE AND REPORT YOUR ISSUE. APPLE NEEDS MORE CASE REPORTS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I have just g…

I'll try it on mine later. I just gotta find a junk disc to use. Have you tried playing the scratched disc? Does it skip or still completely functional?

Take it to the Genius Bar if you have one nearby. This is not normal behavior of the drive and it can be fixed. You might also have Apple replace all the discs that were damaged …

So the Chairman of Hon Hai was talking about the company's financials and mentions that a new iPod is coming that uses a "none-touch" concept, whatever that means. China Post It…

"none-touch" is either a bad translation or it is a mind reading iPod. A widescreen TOUCHSCREEN ipod don't really sound like "none-touch" to me.

A mind reading iPod would be awesome. Whatever the case, it does sound like a new iPod is coming. Hon Hai/Foxconn is Apple's major iPod manufacturer, and this guy is the head of …

"None-touch" is obviously some kind of weird translation, since it doesn't really have an established meaning in English. Eug, I'm told you're of Chinese background (if untrue, bla…

He may very well have been speaking in English. Instead of being a mistranslation, it might just be an odd turn of phrase.

Maybe it's a voice-controlled iPod? It could have a button or two which you'd hold down and give the voice command for navigation. Intel has been developing voice-operated remote…

If that is the case, and he was just speaking English, it might be that he said "non-touch" but the person listening misunderstood what he said (perhaps because of an accent). That…

whatever he meant, I would love to see what a totally redesigned ipod looks likes, whether it makes it to production or not.

Voice-control would be absolutely brilliant on a video-capable iPod. Have it sitting next to the TV it's connected to, and every so often, it'll do something completely random bec…

Voice control would be a disaster. Even if it worked 100% perfectly, I don't want to be talking to my iPod while I'm outside. You'd look like one of those people who talk on a cell…

True about the voice control; maybe they'll add a camera and have controls using gesture recognition--that would be interesting.

I think it should be jacked into our brains directly, but wirelessly. But in all seriousness, I think the most logical guess is that it's an iPod without the traditional clickwhee…

In completely unrelated news, Hon Hai loses lucrative deal with Apple.

Apple really likes to reinvent things without anyone expecting it. Remember how they killed the mini even though no one thought it needed fixing. It is how they stay ahead of the…

Well, then maybe they'll build in a DDR pad, and you can dance around to control it! That wouldn't look stupid, right?

Or license Wii-mote technology, so you scroll through the list of songs by actually rotating the iPod itself. It could even come with a little string & loop, so you can twirl i…
