 Apple officially updated its iMac consumer desktop computer today, adding faster processors and a more powerful graphics option for the 24-inch model.

For the processor, you can now choose between: 2.4GHz, 2.66GHz, 2.8GHz, or 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor (special order).  And the 24-inch model can now include either an ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR3 memory or NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory.

Too bad the memory options are still the same (i.e., 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB).  In any case, I still love ‘em iMacs!

After 4 years, my trusty 4th gen 40gb iPod (grayscale) died on me.  Thankfully, the Apple store is currently offering 10% off on new iPod’s if you recycle your old one…So I got the 6th gen 80gb Classic and I love it!

There are two things you’ll need to download YouTube videos.  I myself use these free apps:

1. Fast Video Download – a Firefox plugin to actually download the YouTube video.

2. iSquint – an app that I use to convert the .flv (Flash file) into MPEG4.

PC Users: You can use Videora iPod Converter.
