A little pissed because you lost?!?! Ha!
He ran his mouth, then ran away like a puss. It's quite funny.

You know SDS, you really shouldn't use market share as proof of *anything.* Microsoft has what, 95% of the desktop market? Does that mean their product rocks? No, not really...
Most people buy iPods because Apple does a great job marketing and people don't know that there are other options out there to choose from. I even find myself calling my Dell DJ an iPod from time to time (sorta like a kleenex or Xerox machine). If they do know the difference, they may pick iPod because they"look cool" and having one is a status symbol. Seriously, high school kids (for example) aren't "cool" if they have a Dell DJ as opposed to an iPod. Doesn't mean the iPod is "better," only means it's marketed better.
I will say that the UI on the iPod is very nice. But I'm not paying double the price for a nice UI. Longer battery life is more important IMHO.
Looking at TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), the Camry isn't really that much more expensive than the KIA that breaks down all the time... But overall, your car vs MP3 player comparison doesn't really hold up at all. There's much more to a car than 4 wheels, an engine, and a couple of seats wrapped in sheet metal. There's the size of the car, the power of the engine (try towing with a KIA), how long it holds up, etc. Nobody is saying that an iPod is going to last twice as longa s a Dell DJ. Nobody's saying that you can store more music on an iPod. A better comparison is "Why'd you buy leather seats in your Camry when the cloth ones would work fine?" It's all cosmetic, and that's the only difference you get with the iPod.
I'm not bashing the product; it's well engineered. But there ARE other much cheaper alternatives out there. You don't have to buy into the Apple marketing machine.

Hey Scott, did you just feel that slap on the side of your head that Fezmid just gave you?

Are you kidding?
Ed is one of the best refs (not to mention my fave). He calls the game right down the middle, and takes the time to explain things.

No way that's real. How did blood get on the back of the front seat? No sign of the driver? And that's way too much blood.

Grrrrr, the Bills/Steeler game isn't on in my area on Sun!! The reason I don't have DTV is because I normally work on Sundays, but I have this Sunday off.

I do yoga. It's really cool. And yes, there are. I once popped a you know what right in class, because the babe in front of me was bending in some hot positions. She saw it, and said "awww, how cute." I was mortified.
