While the small batch of Apple iPods infected with a Windows virus pose no threats to iMacs or the iPods themselves, the fact they were infected at all is a big worry.

Over the past couple of years, the stereotype of your average gamer has been under attack. No longer is it safe to assume that the pasty, overweight, teenage male, you see picking up a pizza for one and 2 litre coke, is just getting supplies for his tilt at a marathon gaming session, exercising only his thumbs in front of a flickering screen, surrounded by the detritus of ignored housekeeping.

What is it? The Virtual Nintendo Entertainment System with 395 games!
A whole series of red coloured and red themed products are on the way to consumers in support of (PRODUCT) RED, an organisation set up by Bono to fight AIDS in Africa, with a range of red or red-themed products designed to catch the eye, to show your support and to raise money for the project. The project has been rumoured for some time, but launched this week on an episode of Oprah with the new red iPod nano only just appearing on the Apple’s US website, along with (PRODUCT) RED's own website to confirm it’s all go.

Remember the Robosapien, the Robopet, the Roboraptor, the Robosapien V2 and the Roboreptile?
