    Man, the more we learn about people who work at Google, the more we learn it sucks like everywhere else. I can't imagine the pro-PC going on at Apple, with a gay CEO at the top - not that there's anything wrong with that - unless there is.

  7. It's too bad nobody is working on "cold panels" because they would work a lot better in Canada compared to solar panels.

    You use 1.21 gigawatts for one DeLorean and you use the remaining 3.29 gigawatts to power a replicator to make more solar panels.

    Or people could also try and lower the energy they use.

    I have a friend who still has incandescent light bulbs in his house, uses a 60" TV with an Xbox One to watch Netflix and then complains about his electric bill.

    Who the fuck cares about grid loss when the energy is basically free?

    Can you come to our small town and install solar panels for everyone for free?

    Thank you in advance.

    There's plenty of similar mp3 players on eBay, most under $3, but I'm pretty sure the battery won't last nearly as long as the iPod shuffle.

  18. iPod Shuffle on Why Steve Jobs Loved the IPod Shuffle (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Still using my second-generation iPod shuffle every day. I had to replace the battery - which is a procedure I hope I never do again - and the Chinese replacement doesn't last as long as when the iPod was brand new.

    I was waiting for The Source to discount their remaining units, however seeing they only have three colours remaining I'm thinking they're not discounting them at all. I guess I'm off to buy one from the local store later today.

    What's funny about the iPod shuffle generations is that after... let's call it "customer feedback" about the third generation model, Apple reverted to the design of the second generation for their fourth model.

    It's too bad that Apple decided to discontinue the iPod Shuffle. Nothing they have can replace it. Certainly not their stupid overpriced watch. If Apple's idea of replacement for their $50 iPod shuffle is a $370 Apple Watch with $160 AirPods they're completely disconnected from reality. That's more than 10 times as expensive.

    I hate watches and I hate the feeling of having something attached to my wrist. I also hate in-ear "pods". If someone gave me a free Apple watch and AirPods, I'd sell them right away without even opening the packages.
