    Yes, but he violated an unwritten but well understood Slashdot rule: never never never say anything bad about Apple, Steve Jobs, or anything Apple makes, has made, or will ever think about making. Apple criticism is automatically modded down, and repeat offenders are IP Banned.

    what people don't realize, is that while it is easy to do on the ipod, it's also a federal crime to do it thanks to the good 'ol DMCA.

    get your asses to the polls today and bust this 2 party, corporate owned BS!
