100 Million iPods

Posted by samzenpus on from the that's-a-lot-of-music dept.

prelelat writes "I find it somewhat hard to believe but this story over at PC world, indicates that the iPod has sold over 100 million units. It also asks how many are broken and replaced which makes me believe the number may be more accurate."

    I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all iPods are created equal."

    I have a dream that my iPods will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their case but by the content of their hard drive.

    Let music ring.

    I used to have a no-brand hard disk based player that would cause a horrible screeching noise in the earphones whenever the disk spun up. The company returned this guy's iPod with the following message: "Not faulty. Supposed 'horrible screeching noise' turned out to be My Chemical Romance's latest single."

  6. Comma problems? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Funny

    There was a single comma in the entire summary. It wasn't really used correctly, but it really shouldn't have taken you four tries to understand.

    Well, now I know how to obfusticate any sensitive documentation. Just insert commas where they don't belong and a certain proportion of slashdot readers will waste valuable brain cycles attempting to decipher it. Whereas my loyal minions, having simpler brains, will ignore any and all punctuation marks and will implement my open source doomsday devices first.

    * What's the exact figure of how many iPods have been lost (I once left mine on an Air France flight) or stolen?


    That's a coincidence, I found mine on an Air France flight!
