After two years of stellar service, my beloved iPod suddenly started giving me gip last week -- crashing three times in an afternoon. Although I managed to restart it each time, I couldn't understand why it should suddenly start malfunctioning now -- after all, I've only had it for two years, and I've been careful to look after it. My partner, however, was not remotely surprised. My problems, she said, were yet further evidence in support of her conspiracy theory that Apple deliberately tries to destroy its older iPod models, by designing software updates that make them malfunction.

In the world of iPod accessories -- 4,000-plus and counting -- the ones worth the money are those that improve the listening experience. I have two for you today, one that will be great when the bugs are worked out and a pair of headphones that make iPod portability even better. Let's start with the almost-there product. "Almost" because it worked with some iPods I tested but not all. I often won't write about a product proving unreliable, but I really like what this does and, more importantly, I believe that the people building it will soon get it right.

In a heads-up effort that has resulted in a storm of blame, frustration and sometimes outright anger, Adobe's Senior Product Manager for Photoshop John Nack revealed this week on an official Adobe blog that the next version of the product, Photoshop Creative Suite 4, will be available in a 64-bit version only for Windows. Mac OS X users will likely have to wait for CS5 -- or longer -- to have the chance to move beyond a 32-bit version. Die-hard Mac users, of course, were less than thrilled.

Apple's online iTunes music store is now the No. 1 music retailer in the United States, according to the latest data from the NPD Group. To get there, iTunes had to beat out Wal-Mart. To date, Apple says iTunes has 50 million customers and has sold more than 4 billion songs from a catalog of over than 6 million choices. iTunes, of course, sells digital downloads with both single and album options, while Wal-Mart sells physical CDs in its brick-and-mortar stores. The chain also has an online sales presence.

Mac users now have a social networking service built exclusively for them. Net4mac offers freeware that, once downloaded on Mac OS X v10.4 or later systems, creates opportunities for Mac users to connect with others in a number of ways. Net4mac offers typical social network features -- with a Mac twist. For instance, user-created profiles could include the types of Apple products members owns and groups could form based on Mac applications. The service also features job searches and classified ads.
