The End of the iPod Clickwheel

Rockgod quotes a Mercury News article saying "If a recent patent filing is any indication, Apple Computer may abandon the iconic wheel that has become virtually synonymous with its popular iPod music players. The company had previously explored replacing the click wheel with a virtual one as part of a touch-sensitive display. But now Apple appears to be looking at a third option: a touch-sensitive frame surrounding the display. Rather than click a physical button or press a virtual one on the screen, users would touch an area on the frame to operate their iPod."

I am deeply offended, because it is not thinly veiled.

Second, it is not mysoginism, it is acknowledgement of quite different distribution of personal preferences of men and women.

Third, it is not homophobia, for the same reason. As for homosexuals, I am not going undercover on this. As a Muslim, I believe that homosexual relationships are major sin.

I am not going into the details about the differences between latent homosexuality, homosexual preferencese, open and closed gays, because I am pretty sure it will all fly way above your brainwashed head.
