Hivelogic Redesign 

The mercurial Dan Benjamin is back on the air, with a handsome three-column layout and a spectacular new logo by Jason Santa Maria.

Codepoetry on iPodlounge Sensationalism 

Codepoetry on iPodlounge’s statistically useless “poll” regarding audio problems with new iPods. There may well exist audio defects on some fourth-generation iPods — that’s not the point. The point is that iPodlounge is claiming that their readers reported “42% of their 4G units have manifested an audio defect”, which would be shocking, if true — but which isn’t at all a valid conclusion from their self-selecting “poll”.

(For what it’s worth, the new 40 GB iPod I won in the MT plug-in contest has no audio problems at all.)
