...Design-wise, there's just one thing that bothered me: because the adapter sits on top of the iPod, it covers up the Hold switch. When you pull out the adapter (or, generally speaking, when you pull anything out of the headphone jack), newer iPods automatically pause. This means that when you're listening to music and lift the adapter to flip the Hold switch, you end up pausing your music then locking your controls.

Just a month ago, Harvard students leaving Boston for the summer had only one way to trek to the airport on public transportation: take the Red Line inbound from Harvard, switch to the Green Line eastbound at Park Street, switch to the Blue Line outbound at Government Center, ride that train to the Airport stop, and then take a free shuttle bus to the correct terminal...

Ironically, Scranton's father, a popular Governor from 1963 to 1967, once urged Casey to switch parties and run for Governor as a Republican. "I am more in the mainstream of Pennsylvania," Casey says. Playing on Scranton's quirky past, he adds: "I really don't know what his political philosophy is. To go from George McGovern to Ronald Reagan defies definition." Casey's commercials lampoon Scranton's poor attendance record...
