Apple release lower-priced iPod touch, start from $199

Since the release of iPod touch 5, the flagship media player made by Apple, it was greatly welcomed by teenagers with its colourful, metallic and lively colour. 

Apple once released a 16GB low-level version, with only one colour and no iSight camera. Just today, Apple has just launched a refreshed version of the 16GB model. The new model features similar tech specs with the 32GB and 64GB model, that means it has a 500 megapixels iSight camera, Apple A5 processor, 4-inch Retina display, and available in 6 colours. However the loop is not included. Its price is as well slightly lower, start from $199 for the 16GB model. The price of the 32GB and 64GB model also decreased to $249 and $299 respectively.
The iPod touch was popular among the young with its colourful and vibrant colour
The new iPod ships with iOS7. And you'll be able to upgrade to iOS8 later on. It is now available in US Apple online store and later available in other countries.

Doing things just to amuse yourself

One thing I've noticed with supposedly weird people is that they'll do little things to amuse themselves and not care what everyone else thinks of it. Like they may say a comment out loud that will entertain them to hear, but will offend or confuse everyone else. They may revert to this kind of behavior when they're bored or have nothing else to do. Sometimes it's almost like they have a little in-joke with themselves. At other times they get entertainment simply from acting strange. The obvious drawback is that outside of their own little world other people think they're acting odd.

Having too many esoteric thoughts, knowledge, and experiences in your head.

Sometimes people are seen as weird because they've spent hours and hours accumulating non-typical knowledge and experiences. If they're having a conversation and want to relate a point of your own, they're more likely to come up with something that seems bizarre and out of place to most people, because they don't have as much 'typical' material to draw from. For example if everyone is joking around about sex, they may mention something they read about the peculiar mating habits of barnacles. Nothing wrong with being interested in that topic, but it's a lot more random than what most people expect to hear. If your brain is pre-loaded with nothing but 'weird' things then you can't help but let it come out in conversations, like I do, always skipping around subjects, making it quite hard for a proper conversation.

Doing things a bit off the wall

Being Square or old-fashioned is fine, living like an old man but to some this behavior may seem weird. Normal* people found the ones being ideologically isolated (listening to Frank Sinatra and never heard modern music but saying new music is crap and thinking the old fashioned or stubborn way). This is mainly caused by their own experiences when they were young. I knew two brothers (One still have some hair and the another one is bald) who were frozen in time since 1959, they still trying to maintain the Elvis Presley's 50s hairstyle. No matter what times did you live through, I personally think it is important to keep up with the age. Just being different from the norm in some way.


I've never heard anyone say, "Look at that weird jock", but you'll often hear, "Look at that weird Goth kid." To a large degree Goths are seen as weird, and jocks seen as normal, because one subculture is way more common than the other. Sure, some people would argue that Goths are weird in other ways as well, but I think it's all pretty subjective. Many people will be seen as weird simply for dressing very differently, having an crazy hobby, having a unique way of looking at the world, or having opinions that aren't entirely mainstream (in this case I will explain with more detail in the following). This is the variety of weirdness that many people probably won't want to change took much, or only make slight adjustments to.

3 more things to earn someone a weird label



Having an odd sense of humour

In some ways, people can't help but assume that your sense of humour reflects what you're like as a person. If you make a lot of strange or random jokes then people may assume your actual personality is like that. This one is very subjective as well. There's nothing wrong with making jokes that are really out there. Many people actually prefer that type of wit. I think what's important is to know your audience. Some people may not think anything of it when you show your random sense of humour. Other people may form the impression that you're a weird person overall, even if they laugh at some of the odd stuff you come up with( e.g. Samuel thinks that the particular name 'Helsinki' is very funny, so every time he hears the word, he'll burst into laughing).

Having truly odd beliefs

I already mentioned how it's fine if someone has views that are just different from the norm. This point is talking about on-the-face 'off' beliefs, the kind of thing that upon hearing you can't help but immediately dismiss. They're the kind of views that are formed when someone is too socially inexperienced or cut off from the world. It's hard to think up examples, but you tend to recognize these kinds of opinions when you hear them.

Acting hyper and childish

Some people can act pretty childish and hyper, especially when they're excited or simply joking around. They get carried away and go overboard with the silliness. The same people often come across as immature in general. A lot of people will label this kind of behavior as weird and see it as pretty off putting.

Any kind of social awkwardness

This point and the ones below cover behaviors that are more objectively problematic. People often get called weird when they make a lot of social mistakes. They're seen as strange because their behaviors is not what others are expecting. People may also assume a person's social errors are symptoms of a more core oddness.

Not making enough eye contact? Weird.

Laughing without reason?Weird.

Standing too close? Weird.

Speaking in a funny voice? Weird.

Was asked a question where people normally give a canned response and said something out of left field instead? Weird.

Disclosing too much personal information at a time when it's not so appropriate? Weird.

Brought up a gross subject during a meeting? Weird.

It's four in the morning and he switched on the music and started dancing? Weird.

Seemed really uncomfortable and stammered out two-word reply when I said hello? 

Maybe just shy, possibly weird as well.

Being really quiet? Again, many people could see this behavior as a sign of shyness, but some would also label it as weird too.


I could go on and on. Of course just improving your social skills will correct this problem.

Apple launches new, cheaper iMac

Apple has unveiled a new, cheaper iMac, and has reduced the price of its older iMac models too.  

Apple on 18 June took the Apple Store offline from 8am BST all the way up until 1pm BST, and when it came back online there was a brand-new, cheaper iMac waiting for us, as well as a cheaper price tag for Apple's other iMac models. This isn't the proper update we're waiting for (perhaps that'll happen later this year when Intel's Broadwell chips become available) but it's still exciting news that makes the iMac much more affordable.


New cheaper iMac 2014: Price
The new iMac model is just £899, much cheaper than the original base model's price of £1,149. This also makes it cheaper than any of Apple's MacBook Pro models, even the non-Retina MacBook Pro, and a similar price to the 13in MacBook Air, which starts at £849. It's still not as cheap as the Mac mini, though, which we hoped might also get an update but didn't, and remains available from £499.

New cheaper iMac 2014: Specs
Of course, with such a low price tag compared to its siblings, the new cheaper iMac also has less impressive specs.

Apple has stuck with just the one new model, giving it a 21.5in display.
It has a 1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz, compared with the 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor found in the next model up. By comparison, the top-end model, which now costs £1,599, has a 3.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor.
The new cheaper iMac has 8GB memory, a 500GB hard drive (half that of the 1TB in the other iMac models), and the same Intel HD Graphics 5000 found in the latest MacBook Air models.
There are build-to-order options, though. You could upgrade to a 1TB hard drive for £40, for example.

New cheaper iMac: Release date
The new iMac is available to buy from Apple now, though you'll have to wait 1-3 business days for it to be dispatched, according to the current shipping estimate on the Apple Store.
