Ok for those that don't know Apple has talked about its new line of Ipod products (I know there are better out there, but that isn't the point of this post) and in this new line they have  a new shuffle. Ok, wtf. http://money.cnn.com/2006/09/12/tec...sion=2006091215 Read the full article there if you want. Seriously though what the ? Is there going to be a remote that comes with it that will make it beep in case you lose it? |

I don't understand the need for all of this senseless "Small Ipod/New Ipod/Shuffle/Nano/Cellphone with ing everything" gadget-whoring in the last year or two. It's a bunch of stuff that people don't need (seriously, you can do just fine with an original Ipod, and it even shuffles!) yet continue to shell out ridiculous amounts of money for even after they purchased the original product.
A cellphone is a cellphone. Do you really need to watch TV everywhere you go? Do you need a phone that's paper-thin and will break in less than two weeks, causing you to purchase the same phone again and repeat the process?
ing society pisses me off.

Imagine if you had a cellphone with a special button that allowed you to order food from anywhere you were. And as soon as you finished ordering, a flying food pack would fly to you by GPS and deliver you the food.
Wouldn't that be awesome? |

I'd rather have portable replicators like on Star Trek |

Cellphones do everything but make calls these days. I don't know how often you lose a connection or have poor sound. And they're all too bloody small, I put it to my ear and the mouthpiece is up around my cheekbone somewhere.
Marketing research has shown that putting "new" or "improved" on a box of Tide (or anything for that matter) will result in an increase in sales for a time. I think this has something to do with the gadgetry, it's their version of new and improved. That and the whole keeping up with the Jone's thing keeps people buying things because they are new even though they don't really need them. I play paintball and every year the gun manufacturers come out with a new model. Very rarely is the new gun better then the old one, it just comes in different colors and has a different design milled into the body and yet every year thousands of sheep line up to buy the new 2k6 whatever. For the record, I don't. I couldn't care less what the Jone's have, I buy what I want/need for me, the rest of the world be damned. |

I'm going to be on my third Ipod now. Why? Because it's Apple's money. I got mine for free when I purchased my Powerbook, because I was a student. It suffered a "system failure" when it was being used during jogging. Still under warranty, they replaced it. A few weeks later, the headphone jack began to malfunction and now ceases to work at all. I have four days left on the warranty, and tomorrow will be the third time Apple's had to shell out $200 for me. :D
I'd much rather pay out the ass for something larger and bulkier than something designed so small that it risks consistently breaking. |
