   Speaking of iPods, I always assumed unbounded was joking, or misguided when calling you a 007 Superspy, but now I’m not so sure…afterall, Spies drink Coke, wear iPods

   Apple making something doesn’t mean it’s not poo on a stick. The iPod sucks, and it will continue to suck no matter how many Mac fanboys tell me how nice iTunes is, how unbelievably intuitive the jog wheel dealy is, or how incredible the iPod looks. Having legions of mindless idiots blindly swear by your crappy products only makes those of us attempting to make an objective purchase that much more skeptical of the claims coming out of your company and it’s colorful entourage of neophyte. Here’s why I will never own an iPod:

   1. DRM sucks. Give it up. I want to use my MP3 player as a portable hard drive, and so does everyone else.
   2. AAC is completely useless. Give us Ogg Vorbis or even WMA (yuck) support. Even MIDI support would be more useful than AAC.
   3. Everyone else in the universe can now record. You should be able to as well.
   4. DRM still sucks.
