The step wasn't a crushing blow. It was more of a "ooh, I feel something underneath my sock, ouch" on my carpet. I've gone through many headphones throughout the years and they've taken much more abuse than these. So I suppose you could count that as my larger-than-1 sample size of my assessment.
And I agree with the other poster, I am cheap and I shouldn't expect so much from the included headphones. They worked for a year, they looked cool, that's all I can really ask of them.
In addition, Apple will create a full-ride scholarship in your name to a world-renowned music school. Just think: You could help launch the careers of an entire generation of musicians.
That's the beauty of the iPod pricing structure. There's one for everyone, because not everyone who has a large music collection (like you and I) needs to have it on them 24/7 (like me). I don't need to hear an Eminem song and then Vivaldi Four Seasons back to back.:)
I bought my suffle the week that Jobs announced it during his keynote in January 2005. About a month later I discovered it wouldn't play anything purchased from the iTunes Music Store. I was told there was a bad batch of the first shuffles and Apple replaced it immediately. Since then I've enjoyed the heck out of it up until this past month. The USB connector on the bottom of the shuffle came loose and popped out one day when I took it out of the USB port on my computer. Apparently one of the two the plastic latches that holds the shuffle came loose due to wear and tear. With expert hands I applied two fine lines of Crazy Glue and my shuffle is back in the saddle again.
And then I drop the white headphones on the floor yesterday and accidentally step on the right ear bud. So now it only plays in the left headphones.
So it appears this shuffle was only built to last about a year, perhaps two. And no, I did not fork out more cash for AppleCare for the cheapest freaking iPod they offer!
Nano? Maybe, I think I might just wait until this shuffle dies completely and spring for the biggest iPod.
I was using iTunes before I got my iPod. When I realized that I was using about 4 or 5 buggy and bloated plugins to get a useful interface out of Winamp I knew it was time to ditch it. It was painful at first, because I learned about the MP3 world with Winamp and I knew nothing else. But I look back now and am glad I did.
If what you say is true, it will have to supplement Windows, otherwise the first thing out of Joe Sixpack's mouth when he gets this "backend system" will be "Where's Word at?".
The last thing we need is a new compression model. I don't see anything wrong with MPEG-4 audio, especially with the current mass hysteria of iPods and video iPods behind it.
Does this mean he's coming back? He's spent some time hanging out at the Pixar studio, and like Jobs, wanted Eisner out. They both got their wish.

Actually, it was your logic.
Please don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to be snarky at all, I wrote a one line response because I was afraid we would rehash the whole security-through-obscurity argument all over again.
My point was your observation isn't necessarily valid. Currently Apache has 67.11% of the market share in comparison to IIS at 20.61%. Does this mean Apache is that much less secure than IIS?

Well then I suppose apache must be less secure than IIS.
Well, his son was a Loyalist, but even then Franklin did address his autobiography to his son.
As far as the flirting in France, I would hope anyone would give him a pass considering the circumstances. He lived in France for decades while his wife refused to leave Philadelphia.
Most people in this thread like to mention his "beer = god loves us" quote, but one important part of Franklin's life was when he stuck to water and not beer.
When he moved to England and starting working at a print shop, he noticed everyone drank beer all day and spent their whole workday drunk. Franklin opted to drink nothing but water instead, and because of that he accomplished more during the day than anyone else. This is typical of Franklin.
He also taught himself to swim in a time when barely anyone swam.

The ability to listen to different streaming radio sources is neat, but then I learned that iTunes opens Shoutcast links just fine.
It's already overly sensitive when in the company of video iPods.
I don't want to have to stay up another long night listening to him cry.
Your schwartz is as big as mine.

Off to play some StarCraft...
And I saw them here.
I doubt this is any more than a crude WindowBlinds mock-up skin.
Well then I suppose this may be the appliance they also put their "iTunes-killer" on as well.
So many Google rumors to remember to tie in...

Thanks, that's what I was getting at with Roy.

Oh wait, that's clever...

Let's also not forget how many years he spent in France.
I got this book for my birthday, and I also highly recommend it.

It was a buzzword when Windows 95 attempted to have it, so you're excused! :)
