More iPod Stupidity
I know I ranted yesterday, but I wanted to post this link, which only serves to reinforce my views on Apples ridiculous marketing.
In the article they compare the iPod HiFi to a toaster, fax machine and printer, suggesting that you should have one in place of these items. There is also a picture of the speaker unit on a shelf (copied below) illustrating further still how useless the design is.
Just read it and giggle at such literary gems as this
- Now you’re cooking
Space is of the essence in any true gourmand’s kitchen. But even if you’re just whipping up a bowl of sugar puffs, you can munch along to music...

Those literary gems are reason enough for someone to be... not just fired... but ritualistically publicly sacrificed, to appease the gods of not publishing complete nonsense.
Apple used to be good at not publishing this kind of soul-destroying degenerative drivel.
Ah well. Everything is getting worse. In a closed system entropy always goes up.
