iPod influx


Recommended Posts

that is really sad right there, lol. its the same situation, the people that got them at my school like put 50 songs on a 20 gig like u said t-grey. i have bout 1500 on mine and everyone is like dude how on earth did u get that much. its rather amusing if u dont mind me saying so, lol

WOW, same here, I was rocking the Gen3 last year. This guy I know on this board who lives down the street from me made fun of me saying "why would you want all that music with you at one time?" and he comes back to school saying he got a gen4 20 gig  :angry: . Also two people i take to school got gen4 ipods :( THEY ARE EVERYWHERE NOW, but no one has the sexy gen3 :D

Despite being an iRiver homie I'll agree.

The Gen3 iPod is nicer in looks than the Gen4, IMO :)

Ugh... someone asked if they could "see my iPod" today...

...as I stripped the iSkin off my iHP-140 :angry:

One thing I find annoying is everyone says iPod so when I say I got an iRiver/MP3 player, I gotta say I got an mp3 player etc, they always ask me wtf my thing is

It makes me kind of ill. I had a 1st gen (that apple gave me when I worked for a reseller for selling 4 powermacs in a month). Then I got a 3rg gen and now a mini. I sold the old one to get a new one.

But now they have lost their cool factor. I feel like how a Green Day fan felt after they went mainstream. Maybe I will look at an iriver next. I need to be different.

I have the same situation at my school. Many many kids have iPods.

And the saddest part is that a lot of them have only around 100 songs on them. Such a waste... :no:

I also hate how the white earphones are now a fashion statement: I have an Ipod!

I've never tried the headphones, are they extraordinarily good or something?

Haha get over it guys it was the hottest item of the year everybody and their mother has one now. I don't see why people care about petty stuff like this. I had a 1st generation back when nobody knew what an iPod was. It was only a matter of time before the market was flooded with them since they are worth the price now.

There aren't alot of people at my university with iPods (at least, there weren't before the holidays, dunno now) but those that do have them tend to use them. I don't care how many people have an iPod like mine, or how many songs they have on theirs, all I care about is whether or not mt 'Pod can do what it's supposed to: work with my iTunes library of 7200+ songs to supply me with more music than i could try to listen to in any given day. So what if it's a fashion item, it's a useful device for me. Anybody else who has gottten a mini or whatever to put 25 songs wasted some cash, perhaps, but in doing so they're giving Apple R&D money for the next generation of iPods that some of us will use to their full potential...

I guess I'm saying, if you use your iPod, don't comlpain... but what do I know?

my school always has had at least 4 ipod users. now everyone has one. it kinda ****es me off because it kinda shows that the ipod is just a fashion thing to everyone. everyone always has it in their hand. someone got theirs stolen just yesterday (serves them right for showing off)

Edited by russellc

Only about 3 people at my school have iPods, probably because I live in the inner city :|

I was going to purchase one through my job (Best Buy), but there are no discounts off it, so I said screw it. I will wait for the 5th gen iPod to purchase one. For now, I'll save up to get a Nextel i860.

HAHA, i have a Creative Zen Micro, and it comes with white headphones. So when im walking down the hall, and in my classes while my Zen is in my pocket is very annoying. I probably get at least 10 "hey, show me your pod"'s each day. I try to be polite and explain that its not an iPod, but is a Creative. Their eyes glaze over in about 5 seconds. :rolleyes:

good god they're everywhere!

I'm the only one who got the 40GB tho  :p

and I'm the only one who actually has use for the space (I've got around 6,700 songs); one kid told me he had 41 songs on his 20GB pod

those r sleek and far better than the "mini"

wow, incredible. it's been a few years since i was at highschool, but in my last year more and more people had started bringing laptops and other bits of technology to school. ipods aren't exactly cheap, it's interesting that highschoolers are being given this much money for things like that (on such a large scale)

anyhow, when one ipod gets stolen, that'll lead to new rules at the school restricting them, ruining it for everyone. or teachers will get ****ed at students listening to music instead of their lessons :rofl:

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
