you mention it as a parenthesised out aside. you do not mention where this can be done, how easy it is, or the fact that this was available for years. hardly balanced reporting.

> that Apple is no different to anyone else

missed that bit. was in lost in the dull technical stuff about battery life?

"apple sell a battery that will not last forever - just like everyone else." not much of a story is it?

>and that the aforementioned video is wrong.

Oh, I must of got confused with lines such as:

People power
-
you can turn a stale crumb of a whinge into a sumptuous banquet for millions.
-
So they did what any reasonable person would do -- they made a movie of themselves flyposting anti-Apple agitprop all over the burg
-
What's frustrating is that the dynamic duo do have a point.
-
Anyone for people power?

You claim rev a ipods are antiques that don't work. My rev a ipod still holds a 10 hour charge, it was the first one sold in the UK.

You seem to be acting as if you are on Usenet. Not a professional (sic) journalist being paid for his words and opinions - however flawed they are.

This isn't Usenet.

Maybe alt.idontgetapple.pclamer.whinge.whinge.whinge would be a more suitable sounding post for your nonsense?

I always thought that ZDNet was bankrolled by Intel or M$. You confirm the bias perfectly. Well done.

Thanks for playing, pick up your prize on the way through the door.
