New iPod Shuffle makes me feel sad & old


Kinda sad about the new iPod shuffle.
I just got an iPhone.
But now I have 2 buy a new shuff-phone

Yall. I’m pissed. Every time I buy a new Mac product that I’m promised is the best product in the history of mankind, I have to get a new product in like 3 months. Getting really angry that 25% of my annual income goes to Apple. It’s starting 2 add up and I think I’m going to have to cut back on my ‘going out’ budget to focus on using my tech devices.

Everything just keeps getting smaller & faster. I think it just means that AZN ppl who work in factories are ‘learning how 2 make things better’, like that Daft Punk anthem.

But srsly yall… I’m still just a sucker for products that are painted different colours. Still thinking about what colour represents ME.

I kind of miss the days when technology was ‘a bigger sacrifice.’ Sort of like a scarlet letter, except in a good way. Cell phones were ‘huge.’ Computers were not ‘portable.’ Disc space took up a lot of physical space [via floppy discs --> CDs --> flash drives]. Feel like it’s just easier to ‘get gimmicked’ into technological lifestyle brands. Ppl don’t even evaluate their needs n e more. Ppl assume that since it is ‘newer’, it is more useful. Also, if ur getting a gift some some1, it makes it seem like u care more if the gift is ‘the hottest new product’ that is getting a lot of headlines.

Just feeling kind of detached from society these days.  Might move 2 the woods with a record player.

Do yall like the ‘design’ of the new iPod shuffle, or were u let down that it didn’t have a 1 inch X 1 inch touch screen Graphic User Interface?

    kinda confused. thought i liked ’simple clever things’.
    but ishuff 2k9 is 2 simple.
    don’t kno if i can ‘want’ it.
    there’s not enough of it 2 ‘want’. no buttons no screen.
    maybe only when theres nothing left 2 want, we start to see we just ‘want 2 want’.
    just tryin to learn who i am by ‘what i want’ in 2k9

    you should do like i do and stop watching, listening or looking at ads. Companies can go get fucked. I’m happy with my PC and my 3 year old iRiver.

    you have to be oblivious to not know mac’s obvious scheme. They basically make all their products and designs years before they even release it. That way they can see how their products sell and adjust the price. It’s probably the main reason why mac products cost so much. Because THEY control the price. Not the customers.

    so by the time you get your new iphone that is set to come out this summer 2009, they have 4 other designs already made, set to release every year or so.

    they do this on purpose so that you’ll be brainwashed in to thinking that this new product will be way better than last years model, but people end up in such a big hurry to buy it that another model comes out shortly after…

    mac is really messed up if ya think about it…

    miss u ibook g4 & early gen ipod.
    h8 the new shuffle. should have gone back to flash drive design. way more sleek, sophisticated, & logical. also controls on headphones mean you can’t use it with other brands of headphones. weird. <3 earbuds w/the white cord cause its so classic ipod, but things break yall. and $40 for earbuds when the shuffle costs $79 is ridic.

    I still got my ipod shuffle G1 with his pretty 512 MB,
    i know is too small but seriously…do we need more space? is there are too much good songs in the world?

    hahahaha

    whatever who acres if everyone hates apple, i mean apple will survive as an altbrand after the “steve jobs era” ?
