Idiot Thieves Stole PINs With an iPod Nano Covered in Duct Tape

Despite the repeated cries of tech bloggers everywhere, it would seem that the iPod isn’t actually dead; it’s just gone rogue.

This Is Officially the Dumbest Slogan Apple Has Ever Come Up With

Remember the iPad event this spring, when the “Resolutionary” display made everyone projectile vomit into each other’s mouths and burst into flames, falling wildly into a pit of acid and shame? Good.

Where Does the iPod Go from Here?

Once upon a time, new iPods were the event for Apple. Yesterday, Apple talked iPods for all of 10 minutes. No radical new features. No surprises.
