But the fact is your paying for a misleading product, imagine going out and buying your girlfriend a diamond and paying say 500 dollars but actually you just bought a 5 dollar cubic zirconia. Sure it looks the same to the human eye, hell maybe even better (it does the job). That is where the problem lies not in it doing the job.
Assuming that Apple can get the drives slightly less than the $70 announced in the article, It seems very possible that they will sell a smaller Ipod for around cost. Such a price would only help their hold on the online digital music sales with Itunes. I am sure they are looking at the bigger picture on grabbing a bigger market of people with ipods that will be able to play their DRM music file.
"because its surveys showed that members found the word "blogs" confusing,"
The average AOL user clueless? no way! Considering most of them couldn't imagine that the internet is more than that welcome page in that cluttered window AOL provides.
aol does deserve a little credit for adding these neat little things for its members to use though, not that we really need any more usless info about utterly boring people. I am sure Most people will like to inform the world that they are going to bed, or with some crazy "ShOuT To My BoYs", but atleast they attempt =).

Another way for big brother to tell where we are at any given time.
