I recently got this idea and implemented it on this blog. I always run out of bandwidth if I use lot of pictures in my post. I like to add pictures in my post but as you might have noticed for the past few months I am not using much images while writing post. So I came up with a solution for  that. I had some blogs setup on WordPress and I was not using them very frequently. So I basically used the WordPress blog to host my images. Its very easy to start a blog of your own with having to have hosting or any technical knowledge.

Well, Its again the time in the year that everyone starts speculating the new products to be launched by Apple.  Its been an Apple ritual to keep it secret. And they have tried to follow it religiously to best of their possible effort but in vain all the time so far. So somehow from somewhere people seem to be getting information about their new launches and leaks the information in the open.

New iPods. It seems that Apple has three new iPods ready to go as early as this month, or as late as September. First is the new iPod nano, Second is the new iPod touch, and the third one is unknown, but can be a small (1.7”) touchscreen replacement for the iPod shuffle. There’s also continued chatter about a three-inch touchscreen that could make its way into an iPod, shaving half an inch off the diagonal of the current iPod touch.
