Wait until about 1/2 am... its the best time. Get a balaclava, a pickaxe, a cordless drill and a crowbar. Find your nearest technology store, head to the back door.
Drill the lock out. Crowbar may be needed to "help" the door open, so may the axe. In ya go... sneak... stay low! LOW! IR sensors are likley. Hide behind things. Find the iPods in the stock room... grab some... sneak out again. If the alarm goes at any point... RUN for the iPods... grab... take... flee. Burn the clothes you were wearing that night... somewhere far from your home. And the boxes. Dig a hole and bury the tools... NOT at your home.
The iPods... are yours.

lmao post of the week?
Yeah. It's true, you get loads of free stuff on the internet. Just like there really is a Reverand B Hardy who has a fortune of $20 000 000 US (20 million) to deposit but just needs you to provide a bank account and a small fee, and there really is a kid dying of cancer who will get well if everyone forwards an email to 10 other people.
Wow. Some people are really gullible.
Indeed. My iPod lasted just under 2 weeks before it decided not to work properly. My Zen OTOH, lasted me 6 months before it went funny.
Neither of which is inspiring for a product's lifetime. I still have a walkman from the 90s. It's outlasted all my tapes.
But with my Zen, I'd use it almost everyday. Sometimes, I was charging the battery up (after 4-5 months) anything up to 3 times a week.
Seconded. And if it ever broke, there was one surefire way to get it working again, drop/throw it onto a hard surface. I would drop it, it would break, I'd drop it again, it would start working again.
Thank you
Google kept telling me, do you mean "service"
Dumbass bastards.
I did this with an old MP3 player of mine. I got advised by a friend of mine it wasn't a good idea though...
The people who break them must have big wrestler hands and crush them. Or throw them against the wall shouting "want music! play music white thing!".
In my experience unless you're pretty bright when it comes to legalities and staying on top of lots of different agreements, it's easier and possibly cheaper to just save up and buy one.
Products there days.. ain't like they used to be" Meeeh! Stupid far eastern workers *old man mumbles into distance*
Never fear though, because I'm in the process of getting a free replacement sent to me as it was within guarantee.
Once the next one gives up it will probably be time to upgrade. I'm undecided if I'll stick with apple. I like ipod, but other models appeal to me as well, but people seem to have problems whatever the brand. Apple just gets more press.
Probably the amount of songs you can put on, the software you use, the interface, the aesthetics. Any number of things.
With other MP3 players (creative, philips, etc) you don't have to use a certain program (iTunes) to transfer your music. With iPods, you have a certain file type which I think isn't used on another MP3 players. As I've also found, iPods can be most expensive than other MP3 players the same size, because you're paying for the name.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong
Prices for most of the top of the range players don't vary much.
You're right.
It's like the difference between a PC and a Macintosh in some ways. PCs are cheaper but they use all random bits and bobs of hardware and software made by joe bloggs, whereas apple stuff tends to be all nice, in that the hardware is all specialised, and the OS / software is all designed to run optimally on that specific hardware. End result: better performance (but a lot higher cost, making it uneconomical unless you're rich).
iPods will do the same basic job as an MP3 player - play music. But they are specialised and so I imagine should perform better. Maybe the sound quality or the speed or the database is better? I'm not an expert in music players. But it's more expensive, and so is uneconomical unless you're rich. However - since they're relatively cheap (compared ot like, a PC) people get them even though they're overpriced anyway. There's an argument in economics where if the price is low enough people will pay relatively expensive prices because they don't seem to care. iPods should be far cheaper, but Apples philosophy is quality not quantity, so make highly sophisticated stuff which is more expensive to suit the minority market.
I think they just hit the jackpot.
If I was getting one I would get an unbranded MP3 player so long as it still did the job.
All you pay for is the player, after that there's no additional costs.
It costs the same as any other player to run, and you can run all the same files on an ipod as you can on any bog standard player.
I use Limewire, so it costs me nothing.
I do buy some albums though, if I think the band/artist deserve my cash.
