iPod's Two-Year Anniversary
the terminal of Geoff Goodfellow writes "Two years ago this month, Apple Computer released a small, sleek-looking device it called the iPod. This Sunday's New York Times Magazine has a long article on it: The Guts of a New Machine."
The eveer fix that batter issue? I remember the quicktime of the dude on tech support with apple and they were like "yea, the battery is 200 bucks"
they didnt innovate. they took the next logical step in the players.
what innovation?
they have a crappy menu control button?
they were not the first to do anything actually.
You stupid Mac shits! Quit defending your unethical company that has a history of proprietary crap hardware running proprietary software and has a history of requiring an NDA to develop programs for their systems. Macs make Wintel systems look like Open Source.
when Apple have to hand over all that lovely loot to the Beatles label
of course this also 2 years ago that Apple decided to break their 25year old contract with Apple Records and fuck the little guy(s), first they steal Apple Records name and logo , then after getting slapped every single time in court because of it they carry on regardless, it seems they are becoming habitual infringers and it wouldnt be suprising that a judge would them hold them in contempt of court too
must be fun to just say "fuck agreements and associates lets just do what we want" , i guess if M$ and the U$A goverment can do it, anyone can just dont expect sympathy when things dont go your own way (cough mass piracy)
I'll see your anecdote and raise you one:
I don't know anyone who has bought a Mac after buying an iPod.
Your turn.
-- You see, there would be these conclusions that you could jump to
1) I can *easily* afford one. I'm still thinking about getting one, just weighing up the pros and cons. There are cheaper boxes which do similar things - I might get one of those instead.
2) So they've fixed that bug then. Good for Apple.
3) It's a `register to read` site, but now there's a free link...
Andrew Andrew sounds like the poor mans Gilbert and George. All that stuff about asthetics...thats enough reason I'd rather buy anyone's box but Apples - they're so full of shit.

What a poignant end to an...uh..amusing sentence. No, there's nothing in that article which does anything to dispel my belief that its just overpriced wank for Nathan Barley style poseurs.
This is the reason I will never do business with Apple. They are like every other company and will screw you over in a minute. The only difference with Apple is they count on the loyalty of their sycophants to defend them even when they are blatantly in the wrong.
They try to promote and foster a sense of community and culture and then rip you off.

Any cursory search on Google will reveal how much of a piece of shit the ipod really is.
Your discman will be stolen just as easy as an ipod.
And my 70$ discman will be replaced MUCH much more easily than your 400$ iPod

I see the Apple fags have gotten to this post.
Suck my dick, bitches.

...the need to search for and download instructions to access the battery compartment and then seek out a third-party to purchase batteries. Yeah, sounds like a quality product.
Junk is right.
After watching that iPod's Dirty Secret movie, no more Apple for me.
Ah, so you're the one who abused editor privileges and modded down those "Dirty Secret" comments. Thanks for outing yourself.
