To tell the truth, I'm not bothered about this either. I was just posting it because it's interesting.

I absolutely hate the Apple iPods. All my friends have them, and they're always moaning about the battery going, the headphones breaking, the screen doing funny things, the battery going again (I've only used it the once today, and I charged the battery this morning!) etc.

I've got one of the Sony NW-HD1's, and it's fantastic! 28 hours of battery life, even though I've used it virtually non-stop since Christmas (charging it more or less every 3rd day), the headphones are superb and haven't broken, the sound qualtiy is mindblowing, and the screen is perfect. I've even managed to get into the manufacturers menu and stopped the volume block so now I've also got the volume of an iPod. And the software! It's never gone wrong for me. All my iFriends have been complaining about bugs, whereas I stick in a CD, set it going and happily whistle until it's all done.

So, basically, fuck the iPods, get a Sony instead...

I think it's pretty funny how apple lost another important patent (windows 3.1) to Microsoft, they need to be on the patent ball so to speak.

Windows 3.1 was Apples?! What the fuck happened there?!

Windows 3.1 was Apples?! What the fuck happened there?!

Well they designed all the graphics and everything in it... Then I guess a contract broke or something and microsoft stole it all =[

I'm not too sure on the details but I'll go find out and get back to you on it tonight if no one else does.

Jesus Christ...Bill Gates used to work for apple!

I think that's from the celebrations of IBM's 20th anniversary.

You didn't know that?
