'Couldn't care less' is the correct way to use the phrase. Think about it logically, I care so little about Justin Timberlake that you could say I could not care any less than I am already caring. In context of my sig, 'could care less' is a common syntactical slip up made around here, such as the pluralisation of Lego. This is what I'm poking fun at with my sig.
or is portable video virtually useless? Like another poster said, music lets you do other things while listening. Also, music sounds virtually identical whether listening to it on an Ipod or on your massive PC rig at home. While walking down the street listening to tunes you aren't being constantly reminded that the item delivering the music to your eyes is the size of a cigarette packet.
Completely different for video. You actually have to focus on a tiny screen and devote pretty much all of your attention to it (unless you are a woman, we all know how good they are at multitasking). You have to make sure you havent got glare in the screen and you can watch the video where you won't be disturbed (like AT HOME, perhaps?). Music on the move is in easily digestible 2-10 minute chunks. You can squeeze off a track while waiting for the bus or queueing up at the supermarket. Try watching LOTR in 40 odd 5 minute sessions. OK so movies are pretty useless on portable devices unless you are in the same place, undisturbed for several hours. Such as an airplane. If only there was a way for airplanes to deliver movies to passengers while they are waiting for their three hour flight to land...
What other uses then do we have for portable video? Music videos, maybe? Well you might as well just listen to the music separately. A black man staring at the camera shaking his hands about making kung fu motions with 100 pounds of gold round his neck doesn't add much on a 50 inch plasma, let alone a 6 inch LCD. With music videos and movies pretty much worthless as far as portable video is concerned what else is there that is of any value to the mainstream consumer? Funny movie clips? Recorded video? (we have devices called video cameras for the playback of such video). Porn is one thing that would be mentioned on Slashdot, but as any guy knows, you need to be on your own to enjoy porn. You wanna blow 500 bucks just so you can jerk off in a rest room squinting at what you think is a woman getting fucked?
So when your next walking down the street and you feel a pang of jealousy seeing someone with one of these on their waist, think to yourself, 'What am I actually missing out on?'
A Portable Media Center with a 40-gigabyte hard drive is expected to hold up to 175 hours of video... or 100,000 pictures, using Windows Media audio and video files.
Expects predict that an unofficial name of Portable Pr0n Center will be commonplace within 6 months of launch

Wow an insightful mod for repeating what the parent said? What can I do to get some of that karma, make a cutting, sarcastic remark about the Slashdot moderation?
Are you 'Ughing' because you dislike the music or you dislike the fact that these are popular artists and the music must therefore automatically be crap, right?

Oh so now the entire Universe runs on Linux now? If that's correct then I think the market share of Windows dropped by a couple of percent. :P

In this Innerspace ride did you ever travel down, as a molecule sized person, the 'Tunnel Of Love'? Or was the body not female?
They will be when the ride 'conveniently' ends at the virtual giftshop.
