There's been something of a debate below on the iPod, and the lifespan of its battery, following on from the Neistat Brothers' entertaining video on the subject. Of course, having never commented on Apple in public before, the brothers didn't have any reason to know about the traditional ferocity with which anything "anti-Apple" is refuted by the company's loyal user community. The fact that there were some holes in their criticism didn't help (like the fact many older iPods, including my own, seem to be functioning just fine, and you can replace the battery). Anyway, Daring Fireball has, as ever, a good line on it, providing some "more accurate (but, admittedly, less sensational) alternative stencil slogans". They range from "iPod's '1-Year' warranty only lasts 12 months" to "I'm so fucking dumb I've not only videotaped myself committing criminal vandalism, I've released the footage publicly". Which made me laugh.
