A New York nightclub has found a unique use for Apple's iPod MP3 player with no turntable needed.  Read on for more details...

"...The set-up revolves around a standard mixer, which allows the DJ to fade between two music sources. But instead of the two standard turntables, a pair of iPods have been substituted.  One is a 5-GB model containing about 1,000 songs, the other a 10-GB model with 2,000 songs. Connected by headphone jacks, the iPods sit on Plexiglass blocks, one on each side of the mixer. 

With 3,000 songs to choose from, patrons play everything from Black Sabbath to Basement Jaxx.  Everyone gets seven minutes to play a set; the time is counted down on a giant digital clock placed in front of the mixer.  Matt Maland, 27, a part-time DJ, has even figured out how to make the iPods scratch. By hitting the center button twice in quick succession, the music backs up a fraction."  Read the entire Wired.com article. 

Furthermore, Apple has finally decided to introduce the iPod for PC.  If you have checked out the great features for this MP3 player, now is the time to do so, visit Apple's site.

"Consumers are on pace to spend $11 billion on DVD sales and rentals this year, making it the fastest-growing home-electronic product ever. DVDs routinely make more money in their opening weekend than comparable theatrical releases. Video games aren't far behind, with sales reaching $6.3 billion last year, nearly double what they were five years ago. The record biz, whose sales were off 10% last year, is in such bad shape that even Entertainment Weekly's summer music issue was full of ads ... for DVDs!"  Click here for more about this LA Times/Calendar Live article.
