Unboxing the iPod shuffle (4th Generation 2010 model)

If you’re a fanboy like me, you’re probably still awake waiting for the live stream. Have you read the fine print at the bottom of the announcement? You need to be running on Safari or using iOS to view the stream. WTF! Sure, they’re doing a stress test of their new datacenters but they just…
