Apple iPod with Video and WiFi Capabilities?

An anonymous reader writes "Apple is currently seeking an engineer for its iPod hardware division. However, they are not looking for just any engineer. They are seeking an engineer with WiFi and Video integration experience. 'The iPod group is looking for a Hardware Engineer. Experience in the following areas is important: system integration, digital logic, SDRAM, Flash, ASIC's, processor selection, ATAPI, various communication protocols (ie: GSM, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11, Firewire, and USB), display types and video and analog integration.'"

How much does this cost? Or is it free for Apple?

Well I'd apply, but I'm too busy hanging around Slashdot.

very likely that it's likely?

From TFA:

"The iPod group is looking for a Hardware Engineer. This person will be an individual contributor on a top notch team with responsibilities for the design, implementation, and integration of digital and analog electronics. Experience in the following areas is important: system integration, digital logic, SDRAM, Flash, ASIC's, processor selection, ATAPI, various communication protocols (ie: GSM, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11, Firewire, and USB), display types and video and analog integration."

Does this mean we are very likely to see an iPod with a video display and capable of sending and receiving music via WiFi? This is very likely.

What strange language the author uses there. Is he answering his own question about whether it's very likely by saying yes, it's very likely? Or is he saying that it's very likely that it's "very likely?"

I think it's very likely that I'm confused ;)

And I think it's very likely that anyone what reads your post will be MORE confused... :p

With apologies to Brian Regan:

It's many more more likelier. Moosen.

It's like, "How much more likely could it be?" and the answer is "None. None more likely."

They could call it the ivpod.

The ivpod. The only digital music player you can wire directly into your veins!!

Yeah, it's one thing when it's articles based entirely on speculation but are at least written by columnists.

Now articles are appearing based on what's in the classifieds? Next we're going to see headlines like this:

"Bill Gates is looking for whores!"

with a link to:

"Seattle, Washington local single white male is seeking hot blonde."

I qualify with my A+ cert!!

Experience in the following areas is important:

system integration - Check. I installed Samba last week

digital logic - Check. That's ones and zeros, right?

SDRAM - Check. I use that in my camera

Flash - Check. I flashed my DVD-rom thingy to be region free

ASIC - Um. That's like a CPU for a nintendo.

processor selection - Check. AMD beats Intel every time. Only fan boys use Intel.

ATAPI - Check. I've installed Harddrives before

various communication protocols (ie: GSM, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11, Firewire, and USB) - Check: I've got a GSM phone and a USB flash drive.

display types and video and analog integration. - Check. How easy peasy! Just match the colors on the cable plugs and the sockets.

Apple, here I come!

Wonder if I should change my name to "iMateito"?

Sure, I saw one today that wanted 10+ years of C# experience.

Luckily I have access to that hyperbolic time chamber. It's hard to code in there though, this pointy headed glowing guy is always throwing energy beams at me.
