Mano A Nano

'Die iPod Die'? It's German for 'The iPod, The'.

The guys at Ars Technica took it upon themselves to kill a brand-new black 2GB iPod Nano. New owners will be happy to find out that not even running over the little bastard could kill it. The poor but insatiably curious will be happy to see that someone else has gone and cataloged its too-tiny innards.

(via Fark)

(When I dropped one from about three feet, I noticed it paused...is that a feature, or just another reason I can't have nice things?)

you've only had it for a week and you've already dropped it????
the answer, then, is no--you can't have nice things.
i think you just qualified to go to hell for dropping a Nano.

Actually, the people who are going to hell are the ones who felt it was necessary to drive over the Nano instead of mailing it directly to ME.

My U2 iPod does that. It can tell when the headphone jack is unplugged and automatically pauses it so you don't miss a beat. Works well unless you're driving at 70 mph and your iTrip gets jiggled out.

So, running over an iPod Nano turns it into an iPod Shuffle?
Maybe I should try running over my cellphone and see if it turns into a walkie-talkie...

I can't believe it, my co-worker just bought a car for $70727. Isn't that crazy!
