37 Comments Hi. My name is Kevin Rose. Here I share my thoughts, ideas, and random things I find online. For work, I'm the founder and site architect of Digg, and a co-founder at Revision3 and Pownce. When the internet is off, I climb rocks, drink tea/wine, read books, and explore San Francisco. Thanks for visiting.

The Bloomberg iPhone app offers "news, stock quotes, company descriptions, market leaders/laggers, price charts, market trends analysis, and more." - a great replacement for the basic bundled 'Stocks' app.

Tonight I decided to shoot a short review of an iPhone game I've been enjoying, Enigmo. Enjoy! (Disclaimer: Don't expect much, this took me all of 5 mins to record w/zero editing)
"It is a 3D puzzle game where you manipulate slides, bumpers, and other pieces to control streams of flowing liquid. Liquids (water, oil, and lava) fall from "droppers" and will bounce around the walls of a puzzle. You move and rotate the various puzzle pieces in order to divert the flow of the falling droplets so that they can reach their target. The faster you complete each level, the more bonus you will receive."
Get Enigmo - $4.99

It's been a couple weeks, so I thought I'd do a little roundup of my predictions/rumors:
- New design for the iPod Nano (this one)
- iPod price reductions
- 2.1 software on iPod Touch
- iTunes 8.0
- New audio visualization (this one)
- Genius playlist
- Genius sidebar
- Grid view
And lastly, if I had to guess, I'd say iTunes 8.0 looks a little something like this:


A new source comes forward w/this info: (this is consistent w/everything I've heard)
What's new in iTunes 8
iTunes 8 includes Genius, which makes playlists from songs in your library that go great together. Genius also includes Genius sidebar, which recommends music from the iTunes Store that you don't already have.
With iTunes 8, browse your artists and albums visually with the new Grid view; download your favorite TV shows in HD quality from the iTunes Store; sync your media with iPod nano (4th generation), iPod classic (2nd generation), and iPod touch (2nd generation); and enjoy a stunning new music visualizer.
