Put a longish beard on the thing and trim the hair a little and you'd be on the nosey there (oh and I never wear pink).

My (limited) experience of Apple products has not been good.

My mother-in-law has an iPod Touch. I offered to put some MP3s on it for her, thinking it would be a simple case of plugging it in to a USB port then dragging and dropping the files over.

But no, the iPod is not recognised as a USB mass storage device like a normal MP3 player. iTunes wouldn't allow me to do this either as it was synced to a different computer, I would have had to delete the tracks that were on the device already. I ended up having to install a piece of software called CopyTrans, and even then it required me to install a component of Quicktime to get it to work properly.

 Actually there is a workaround for that. There's an option in iTunes to recognize the iPod as a storage device. If you enable "View hidden files and folders" there is another folder on the iPod with all of its files in it, but they all have odd names (like PKFG.mp3 or similar), but if you copy that folder to the hard drive and import it to iTunes, the ID3 tags will copy over too and you can keep all your files. Annoying, but doable.

 Actually there is a workaround for that. There's an option in MyBedroom to recognize your mom as a storage device. If you enable "View hidden clothing and underwears" there is another folder on your mom with all of its clothes in it, but they all have odd names (like PKFG.bra or similar), but if you copy that folder to the hard drive and import it to MyBedroom, the Clothing Removal tags will copy over too and you can keep all her clothes on the floor. Annoying, but doable.

If he asked you why you did it, he probably wants you to remove it.

Yeah, Apple loves their proprietary "You can't tamper with anything!  You have to take it to us to get it fixed!  And no using hardware we didn't sell you!" stuff.

Though I have to say, every single time I've had to go to the Apple store to get something fixed, they've done it for free, even when my hardware was out of warranty.

RE: I don't like Apple

Despite still using the laptop I purchased almost a decade ago in the first year I was getting electric shocks off the thing and it blew a nice pair of headphones while I was wearing them.

It took Apple most of that year and tonnes of paperwork to get the thing looked at and only after I picked it up with a workman's note attached to it calling me "an arse" (the repair guy also stole the Airport card out of the machine but I didn't notice it until I got broadband), which I threatened to publicise did they finally get around to fully repairing the thing.

Nice well made, over priced machines and in my experience really lousy after-sales service.

A machine is a tool.

If it does something useful that you can't get cheaper it has value but if you want to make a fashion statement buy a nice hat.

Your Mom's a sexy phone.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish memes.

Yup.  A sexy hammer embedded in Fink's head.
