Yes it's all made in China, but the shuffle has an aluminium casing and it helps protect the electronics.
If we talk about Apple using crap, I'm sure you had the pleasure of using the SD card reader on a Mac...
I like to use hardware as long as it lasts and as long as it's useful to me. I'm planning to buy a battery to replace the current one, cheapest I've seen on eBay is around 12-14$CAD shipping included.
Yes, there's plenty of sub-20$ mp3 players but they don't even last one year. On the other hand I'm still using my 2nd-generation iPod shuffle every day and the only thing bad about it is the battery which isn't holding as long a charge as when it was new.
I suggest using satoshi which are tiny fractions of bitcoins. The bitcoin network is already in place, bitcoin has value and people are already using it, today. There's no need to invent yet another system.
Since you have read my comment, please send 100 satoshis or more to 1F7EDeg2caBYRQCdWVgviprLDHJsjTdTiA.
My point is that there's more platforms to develop games today than a decade ago. Some publishers will make games for the biggest market and that's not the console market anymore, even if you include portable systems like the 3DS and the Vita.
Granted, some types of games are more appropriate for some platforms so ports are not always possible nor desired.
Cut cable/satellite, buy Apple TV, get Netflix. Even a regular, not-overpriced computer monitor will do. Why pay for a stupid built-in tuner and a crappy OS interface in 2014?
Cross-eyed is the worst thing ever invented for 3D viewing. Parallel can be viewed without glasses for very long periods if you can control your focus properly.
My comment was that they didn't even include a parallel viewing movie file. They went with a weird "one eye at the top, the other eye at the bottom" format.

It also sucks at running your spell checker.

Five iPod shuffles, two iPhones, one iPod touch, no iPod nano or classic.
Wrap your brain around this: iPod shuffle.
New Intel CPU box with "Made from 90% recycled AMD CPUs".
I was about to write an angry reply, but it's too cold outside to care.
Signed, a fellow Canadian.
Why? Do some of them contain bitcoins?
You guys are probably trying to get a manufacturer to make Scrypt-mining ASICs.

We're talking about Scrypt mining, not SHA-256. You probably meant 700 kHash/s. One user is getting 780 kHash/s from his HD 7970.

Compared to the number of iOS and Android users, two million is almost a rounding error.
I was about to ask the potential scrypt mining power of this thing relative to its cost and power requirements and then I realized it's nVidia.
Forget about it.
Unless 3D printers, CNC machines and laser cutters don't count, I would say 2013 was filled with robots.
Usually yes, but right now they're fucked.
And God was created by the Invisible Pink Unicorn to test our faith in her.

Ponies are nice, good idea!

ThinkPad 760XL forever! It's running Windows 98SE, but still running fine.
They should have included a parallel stereoscopic view.
