iPood
Speak & Spell - voiced over by Stephen Hawking
Title spelling intentional 
So Apple have unveiled their latest money wasting piece of iPood technology:
New talking iPod Shuffle unveiled :twisted:
I must be getting old – down at the bottom of the article, there’s a sample of the iPood announcing a song – Speak & Spell anyone??
For those of you of a less antediluvian nature Speak & Spell was an ‘educational’ toy from the 70s and 80s – most of the time we simply made it swear or generally say rude words though
Nostalgia freaks will love this:
Speak & Spell Emulator
With the possible exception of the deranged nature of designers and their affinity for the PCs, I totally miss the point of the Apple brand – it’s true that, in general, they tend to do a better job of presenting a PC to the outside world and ‘Just Work’ (this is NOT true but the Apple fraternity like to perpetuate the myth; If yours does have an issue getting support is like looking for the proverbial rocking horse manure – there are also viruses that effect Macs too)
The iPod’s sound quality is inferior to its contemporaries AND the cost is higher too – why would people pay MORE for an inferior product??? 
It can’t be the fact that it’s got a ‘snazzy’ interface alone, can it?
Maybe it’s Maybelline?
More likely people just can’t see the wood for the trees… 
Emperor’s new clothes methinks :evil:
