iPod-Jacked

Posted by michael on from the slow-news-fridays dept.

Rick and Roll writes "In a story on Wired, entitled Feel Free to Jack Into My iPod, an iPod owner shares experiences he has had with other iPod owners, namely the plugging of his headphones into a stranger's jack. It began when a woman in her 30's walked up to him while he was on a walk, unplugged her headphone jack from her iPod, and motioned for him to plug his in. They then listened to each other's music for about 30 seconds. He has then shared with about a dozen iPod listeners, with most of the strangers reciprocating. According to the article, the practice has also cropped up in other communities. Listeners acquire tastes for different kinds of music, just like on internet/LAN file sharing networks. An interesting read."

    Quite possibly, and it's appropriate it's being done with Apple technology.

      To ph34r homosexuality so badly, you must have latent homomsexual tendencies. maybe not so latent homotendencies. you use a mac at home in your pink pajamas and therefore link mac use to your own homosexuality which you fear because getting slammed in the ass reminds you of when your uncle "slept" over when you were a wee lad of six years. newsflash: MAC USERS ARE NOT TEH GHEY. Some are, some aren't. Some are republicas, some are democrats. But not all mac users are gay merely because you are. All gay bashers are gay in their hearts, but afraid to admit that to themselves.

    coincidence? maybe. maybe not. Anyhow, last night I was at a party, and a girl asked if she could borrow my anal beads. Sure I replied, but only if I could borrow her butt-plug. Anyhow, we both learned new ways to pleasure ourselves. I suggest all slashdot readers go to an orgy now and then and try something new.

    You call it "hippness angle" everyone else calls it "crazy cult".
    Jeez, they are so cultish that they exchange headphones as some kind of secret handshake? And they'll only do it with other iPod users? What a cool, elite cult they have!

    I think it walks up and smacks you in the god damned face it's so obvious, but hey, I'm not a little puppy dog apple zealot so I tend to be a little more clear thinking than the average slashdotter.

    Hey Taco! What the hell happened to your site? It used to be so cool, now it's filled with gay marketing stories about iPods and other happy Apple crap like that.
