Apple releases a new iPod Shuffle that looks curiously like something you would use to take care of constipation. It looks as if “SNL” wasn’t that far off though when it suggested the iPod Pequeño. But hey, this one talks to you!

In more Apple news, Chinese hackers figure out how to crack the iTunes gift card system. Apparently, it’s just a key code generator, and for a mere $2.60, you can get yourself a $200 gift card. We don’t know if it works, and even if it does, it won’t be for long. If you do know, tell us by calling 1-866-404-CNET (2638). Along those same lines, we find out that “Full frontal nerdity” is already taken for a show motto. Please send in more suggestions.
In depressing news, grammar is apparently becoming horrible on Twitter. No surprise given the 140-character limit. Let’s just hope @replies don’t wind up in some kid’s term paper. Also more depressing, “Star Wars” is coming back as a television show. If the new J.J. Abrams-directed “Star Trek” movie becomes a hit, they may make restart the television franchise.
We’ve got a whole slew of guests coming on the show in the coming days including Erica Boeke, Dr. Michael Breus, debbiefromtoronto, and Jonathan Coultan. And our very own Justin Yu makes an appearance on the “Bore Out Loud.” Keep listening to “The 404!”
