You asked for it, and so you'll have it: the much-requested pink iPod nano third generation variant is finally a reality, just in time for Valentine's Day. It's just a matter of time, anyway, since no product line is complete if there's no pink unit. Check out the picture in the full article.

"Seven geeky gifts your girl will love this Valentine's day." Notice the quotation marks? No, it's not because I'm just quoting the title, it's because some of the items in this list are actually gifts that you'd buy for yourself. Personally, I think an HD-DVD player's a bit off base. Think of the Bowling Ball episode from the Simpsons and you'll understand what I mean.

That said, there are actually a couple of good ideas in the list. One of these is the Laser Stars Projector. This 10-inch tall gadget uses green laser and holographic technology to project green laser stars and blue clouds onto your ceiling, walls, your face, your girlfriend's face, etc. The clouds and the stars are all constantly moving and morphing, too.

This thing is perfect for setting up the mood, and if you're a real geek, you should know at least a few constellations by heart so you can regale your girl with some funny anecdotes, just like how Rocky Dennis won his classmates over in the 1985 classic, "Mask".

If your girl's a music fan, then chances are she's already got an mp3 player. Despite this, I still think that the iPod shuffle (which is the third entry in the list) is a good gift idea. You can actually turn it into the digital equivalent of an old-school mix tape and put in those songs that are important to the both of you, or maybe you can go for the whole concept album-style presentation and weave a long musical tale of your relationship so far. You can even buy her a model that comes in her favorite color.

Lastly, there's the Digital Photo Frame (I know I said "a couple" but I actually meant "three"). This one should be a no brainer. Take a shot of the two of you dancing the night away to the tunes you pumped into your girl's new iPod while the Laser Stars Projector takes care of the ambiance. Pop it in the Digital Photo Frame, leave it on her nightstand, and surprise her come morning. Instant brownie points.

A few months back, we mentioned that The Beatles' songs are close to making their way on Apple iTunes. Fast forward to the present and there are still no Beatles tunes in iTunes, but since the iPhone has already been revealed and some people are running low on Apple rumors, the Beatles-iTunes deal is once revived.

This new rendition of the Beatles-iTunes rumor says that Beatles songs are going to be available in iTunes as soon as February 14, Valentine's Day of this year. Citing "unnamed sources", a popular Beatles fan website reports that it is most likely that the group's latest album, Love, will be made available through iTunes.

Hmmm, perhaps Steve Jobs playing "Lovely Rita" while introducing the iPhone also added fire to this speculation. Oh well, we guess we'll know if this is true come Valentine's Day.
