The following video clip is further affirmation as to why I am yet to purchase an iPod. The shoddy battery, the ‘one service call’ even if the problem is caused by an Apple software upgrade. The all-too-easy to crack screens and so on… Have we got to a point where we have the ultimate in disposable technology. Is it acceptable for a manufacturer to develop an item that doesn’t last more than 18 months? Is this timeframe acceptable because in 18 months they consider that you should be moving up to the latest model?

Whilst Apple may have built the ultimate brand and device that has effectively killed off the Sony Walkman – the question is, how long is it until Apple is usurped by someone else?

Anyway, here’s one person displaying their anti-Apple sentiments with some street spray stencil anti-advertising action.

So, you’ve got some frustration with your iPod eh? You could flush it down the toilet I guess, but there are some people that just do stupid things because they think ‘Jackass’ is cool. Whilst this iPod might be defective, I have to wonder if this is kid and his associated grey matter are also defective. In sticking a drill into his mp3 player, he almost drills his own hand. Further, sticking a drill into a battery unit isn’t overly clever either. Check the opening credits too, because they think they are ‘cool’ which is quite evident. Replace one letter in ‘cool’ and you get something often found in a garage.
