New iPods don't like old accessories.
Quote
Unfortunately, not all of the headphones' features work with the video iPod. That's because Apple's latest player, unlike previous iPod generations, doesn't have a small connector near the headphone jack. With both the latest iPod and the recently introduced Nano, Apple has done away with the top connector, rendering a whole slew of existing iPod accessories incompatible with the newest players.
Wilma pounds Florida and Alpha starts up.

Alpha made landfall on the southern coast of the Dominican Republic early on Sunday. Its intensity was mild compared to Wilma’s, but it did bring heavy rains to an island prone to disastrous flash floods and mudslides. Heavy rains on Wilma’s outer fringes were blamed for at least 10 deaths in Haiti.

NASA plans to return astronauts to the Moon by 2018 and later on to Mars. But a round-trip mission to the Red Planet would probably last at least 30 months and carry six to eight people. That would be a hotbed for intense crew relationships, says a report by the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS).
Bird flu hits Europe.

The latest incident of bird flu in European Russia killed 12 hens at a private dacha, after which authorities culled 53 ducks and hens at the locality and imposed a quarantine. The outbreak was in Tambov, 400 km (250 miles) southeast of Moscow last week, a senior regional animal health official said on Monday.
