Re: What made you feel giddy today?
My brother share's your views on iPods Inc, but mostly he hate fixing them. He works in phone repairs and regularly rants about the supposedly evil and illogical design. Whenever he gets angry about any other random subject he often likes to divert back to iPods with a pained cry of "SEVEN DIFFERENT TYPES OF SCREW!!!"
On top of the screw thing, also protests about Apple's use of glueing in the components, presumably as a barrier to tinkering and hacking attempts, but requiring him to painstakingly use a special acid and attempting to cut away at it, where the slightest slip will destroy the phone and land him in trouble. He believes they are specially designed to make phone repair technician's lives hell. "A deceptive minimalist coating masking a set of electronics that Picaso's evil twin would be proud of." or something like that.
As such he attacks anyone expressing an interest in owning one.
