New iPod Nano Commercial and the 1234 song

If you were watching TV this past week, then you probably saw the new iPod Nano commercial. The ad features the upbeat and catchy song "1234" by Canadian singer/songwriter Leslie Feist. I cannot seem to get this song out of my head!

Here are the lyrics to this enchanting song: One Two Three Four, Tell me that you love me more. Sleepless long nights, That is what my youth was for. Old teenage hopes are alive at your door, Left you with nothing but they want some more. Oh, you're changing your heart. Oh, You know who you are.

Sony Graphic Splash Edition Notebooks - combining art and hardware

If you're looking for the unique, get-noticed multimedia accessory, pick up a limited-edition (only 600!) Sony VAIO notebook designed by artist Maya Hayuk. I get excited when I see innovation in hardware design because it brings me back to my days in the fashion industry - and who amongst us isn't bored with the same old functional laptop design? These fabulous notebooks come with a certificate of authenticity and engraving like a piece of fine art!

Two colorful and unique designs: Grow, which is described as an organic forest of deep greens, blues and purples "grow" wildly like ivy along the edges of the pitch-black canvas. The Never Stop design is decked in funky interlacing lines, swirling spherical shapes and fantastic colors.
