Duke University Students Receive iPods

Posted by michael on from the they'll-be-up-on-ebay-soon dept.

DSLAMngu writes "Freshman students at Duke University received their complimentary/paid for (however you want to look at it) iPod portable music players on Thurday. This deal was previously mentioned on /. here. After waiting in line, I eventually got my Duke-engraved iPod at about 9:00 PM with the rest of the freshmen at Brown dorm. I've written about the experience at my blog, and also included a copy of the Program Agreement and some photos of what the students received."

    Dear Father O'Day,

    Thanks for your letter. Being Catholic myself, I know exactly what you're talking about! It has always been our plan here at Apple Computer Inc to revolutionize personal computing with our high-quality and highly gay products.

    I'm happy to answer your letter by letting you know that YES we will be releasing an entire hLife ("homo-life") software line. You'll be able to recognize it in stores by the small stylized logo depicting a large cock entering a tight anus with an Apple logo on it. ("Suddenly it all comes together" indeed!).

    Anyway, I hope you and other members of our community will join us on our mission, and purchase the exciting new hLife boxed set. Only the boxed set comes with translucent cock rings!

    Sincerely,

    Harry Rodman
    Vice-president

    I thought universities were in the business of teaching, not hardware/music distribution.

    Still, it explains the stupidly high tuitions.

    then if they put it on a p2p system viola...

    What's a "p2p system viola", is this some kind of new funky violin which is p2p based? Or are you another retarded dumbass American who can't spell voila? Why don't you stick to "wah-lah" and at least promote your Walmart heritage?

    Ok, I will say that portable mp3/ogg/etc style music players are something which will stick around.

    However, that said, the iPod is a fad. It is more expensive than comparable devices and from what I've read not that substantially better. It has two major selling points. 1) iTunes 2) It's cool. We've all seen the ads for iPod's which one do they plug? Don't recall them even mentioning iTunes in most of them, it's just sort of vaguely indie shadows dancing around.
