I often wonder why people get so excited about the latest gadget. I know it is nice to look cool and trendy for the few days or weeks that you have something nobody else does, but what are you really getting?
I made the point about this with grade 11 when we were discussing the reasons that we change our hardware so often. Why is it that we get rid of perfectly good gadgets to buy a new one? Because some marketing people want us to? @*#!# them. I will keep what I've got and change when I feel like it. I guess that is one of the many reasons I love Open Source so much. The software is free and it always will be. Here is another reason.
Anyway, if you are one of those worship Steve jobs, sleep in the cold all night to buy one, don't know there are non-DRM music services fruit worshiping early adopters, this is for you.
