$5 billion of that will be from iPod replacement batteries...
[obDisclaimer: I own a 1stG iPod and a 2ndG iPod - batteries still as good as new. But the headphones......
And of course, they would get to that $10 billion sooner if they would release a G5 laptop.
I can personally guarantee them to get $3k closer when they do...]
Yay! It's the "PCs are better cause they have floppy drives" argument. After lunch I bet you'll hit us with the "PCs have multiple mouse buttons" whammy and we'll all put our Macs up on eBay and head to DELL.com for a *real* machine, with a full-on serial port too I bet! Rippin!
My screen failed when I used it to hammer stakes for my tent on a camping trip.
Imagine how dissapointed I was when I couldn't use the iPod for the rest of the trip!
Now I hear you can't easily replace the battery when it runs out of charge?
Amazing people put up with this product!
(Please note the sarcasm.)
Yeah, and you guys panned the ipod too: http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/10/23
Do you think he would find this description depressing? I can't think of anything more disappointing than uberness wasted on blogging.
