Did Microsoft Invent The iPod?

nate.oo writes "If you think Apple Computer's Steve Jobs invented the technology behind the Apple iPod, don't bet your 60GB, 15,000-song model on it. According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, patent applications that cover much of the technology associated with the iPod were submitted by Microsoft."

Re:Did M$ invent the iPod?

and people bitch and moan when I use the abbreviation M$

That's pretty funny, especially considering where you're at. But to clarify, I would hardly "bitch and moan" about that, I'd point out that by using it you make it clear that you're just another retarded asswipe who uses a "joke" that ceased to be "funny" in 1997 to "fit in" and feel "l33t", just like all the other retarded asswipes on "teh interweb" that use terms like "Winblows" and "Microshaft" and whatnot because they figure they're making some sort of social statement.

Other than that, you seem to have some sick fixation with posting on Slashdork. If it's getting too bad I suggest you seek professional help.
