They likened apple to GM in the 30's designing products that will only physically last for a predetermined amount of time, and are then prone to failure with no means for repair.  Crazy to think we live in a world where people are now willing to dispose of $300 ++ dollar  pieces of tech, just because a newer cooler one is out.  Strange...

And Im not trashing anyone, cuz im right along there with them. Im a complete tech consumer. :(

People don't realize that "lithium ion battery" is short for, "good for 1,000 uses". That's why I skipped the nano and got something with a little less space, and 5 times the battery life.
