content: iPod 5th gen (first video iPod), was the last Apple product, that I ever owned. In fact, still do. Bought a bunch of batteries for it, and have a box of replacement parts, that I got from eBay, for dirt cheap. Swapped out the built-in HDD for an adapter that takes a 128GB SD card. Working on that thing is just like working on a miniaturized, home-brew ATX pc. Best MP3 player ever made, hands down. I fucking love that thing. I'll never get rid of it. I'd also never buy whatever the fuck their newest iPod is— some iPhone-lite. Apple died, in spirit, when Steve Jobs died. Now it's just a walking corpse, maintained by its already established momentum. It will be a slow and drawn-out fall, but its inevitability is indisputable. Not unless another belligerent, autistic, manic, crazy genius takes the helm, and soon.
