Granted I ran it to the ground, I left it on all night and played all 20 gigs of music just to set all their play counts to 1.
2005 iPod shuffle 512mb. I think I replaced it once. Dropped it plenty of times and also left it on all night since it didn't have a damn timer function.
2006 iPod shuffle 1gb. I don't learn my lesson. Only got another one because I got a sweet speaker system for it at the flea market for 10 bucks. Some savings.
2007 iPod touch 16gb. Put an invisibleshield on it the moment I got it. Unfortunately the damn thing doesn't cover the black trim around the sides. Thank god there's a lifetime warranty on the shield.

I look at the sony walkman and all i can remember was the horrendous sonicstage program.

as an apple fanboy, this is pretty disappointing. a hundred bucks just to release something as simple as a flashlight app is ridiculous. i'm staying jailbroken.

Monster doesn't end with cables. They have an ipod car charger/transmitter combo for $80. Then they have a normal Y-splitter for $20. The issue isn't just the mark up. It's also the blatant false advertising that these cables are better. I'm surprised they don't sell Monster blank DVDs for $5 a disc. It's like they think they're Lexus or BMW.

Maybe they should add tasering people, wiping out people's hard drives and stealing their nudie pics as other reasons. I don't see how they thought they could get away with that bull crap.

There's also the factor of sex with who.
a girl? a model? a supermodel? your left hand?
I think there should be a "masturbate counts" disclaimer so the survey isn't so skewed.

TOO LATE!
