I bought the 40gig, whatever compumeasurement it is, thinking I needed all that fucking space to fit my music... and I did, I've filled the little white fucker and never managed to get it all in there, but I only listen to 5 gig of it which has made me realize how incredibly vain I am... concurrently, I realzied (having never heard of iWars) that I have been secretly longing for some uber hipster chic to ask see my iCatalog that she might gasp in amazement that I have the entire Masada and Smog collection. If this isn't alienation from reality, I don't know what is.

I personally suspect the $99 iPod only goes around your neck so that you can show off that you own iThings. This is only reinforced by the fact that you can get a non-i MP3 player that holds more music than the Shuffle for the same price (or less). Clearly, people with Shuffles are just buying the brand. I'm waiting for the iPod design to infiltrate our daily lives, just like how the original iMac did. Remember when there appeared to be iTape and iBinders and iTelephones? I swear, it's going to happen. Except, the iPod is all white, so we're just going to wind up looking like we're living in hospitals or something.

Re: iPod wars
This seems a very confrontational, frat-boy, patriarchal motherfucker approach to iPod comparisons. Why not take the hippy approach and just kind of groove to the other person's music for a few seconds, try to get in their head, y'know? Maybe you'll get in their pants.

One more thought on the apparent sexiness of the iPod, or at least the iPod Shuffle, if you're a woman. It's slim and light enough that you can tuck it into your bra. This can be a great flirting tool. ("Why are there wires going from your ears down into the front of your shirt?")

In all seriousness, is there a way for me to contact Mr. Boyle (as I find him adorable)?

I heart Adam Boyle. I wish to sip coffee with him and possibly makeout!

There's a guy on the Ohio University campus who walks around with a boombox on his shoulder. I thought he was really retro until I realized that in his other hand was an iPod with an FM transmitter on the top. Then I didn't know what to think of him. Is he an iPod poser for carrying a boombox, or a boombox poser for having his entire music collection in the palm of his hand?
I'll keep my music to myself on my white headphones. We don't worry about getting mugged in southeastern Ohio.

the conceit behind this column is way tired by now (really, it was after the third iteration) (as I think you admitted in the column a while ago) (though I'm too lazy to go track down the reference) but you continue to pull it off. rock on, dude
