Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions High end for iPod

LightningJoe - it seems I'm picking on you, first with the monkey movie, now with Apple... I'm not, really.

Ahh, remember when Apple made computers? With RISC processors that were faster than the IBM-compatible Intel CISC processors? Starting in 2006 - Apple's using Intel processors.

Remember MacOS? No, not rebranded Linux, but when they wrote their own OS?

Now they make hipster-targeted portable personal players (with a track record about as good Luftschiffbau Zeppelin's) and they resell the heavy-managed use of music under a DRM system that reminds us all that music belongs to Sony/BMG, they just let us live in their world.

"iPod problems" returns 22,000,000 hits on Google. The Register reports Apple has sold 30,000,000 of the units by three-quarters of the way into November... they expect to sell 37,000,000 by year's end.
