So, ph3412t3h13 makes a perfectly valid comment in his own, quite useful thead, and ripgut decides it would be "cool" be a jackass and peddle his idiocy in the same thread?  Oh, and quote flames are so lame it actually makes me pity you.

Someone care to mention that that player is larger than the shuffle? Or that the only reason it's "cheaper" is because you can get it from vendors that put it on sale? No, I guess you forgot those points.

leedogg pretty much said everything I wanted to.

The size difference is small enough to be almost negligible. How many people really care about a few millimeters? And if you do, give me a good reason why. What's funny is the Sandisk has better battery life even though it includes a screen (there go all the claims that a screen would reduce battery life).

Why in the world would I care if it's cheaper because of a sale? Would you not buy an iPod if BestBuy decided to put it on sale tomorrow? Give me a break...

I already posted that along with the fact that the Sandisk MP3 player died on me in a span of a month. The toggle switch has a tendency to come off lose.

Isolated cases don't say much. Electronics die all the time. You could very well get the most expensive player you can find and there's still a chance it could be a lemon.

And your point is? You stating the Mini is underpowered is like a farmer driving a 57 chevy pickup saying an 05 Mercedes is underpowered; you have no way of knowing what a 1.25 ghz G4 is like, or even a modern computer for that matter.

I will never get an IPOD because 1 month after I get one they will come out with another one that is twice as small and twice the capacity. I'll stick with my RIO Karma thankyou.

This has gotta stop. Why are so many people bitching about 2 products that are selling like hot cakes? If I think Microsoft comes out with crappy software I wouldn't bitch about it to the people who do find it useful and great. I wouldn't do that with any other company. If you find Apple's products overpriced, overrated, and too "trendy" for you then don't by it. No one is forcing you to. Simple as that.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
