i havent read this entire thread but heres my history with apple products

i had a powerbook for 3 years. during this time: the hard drive failed twice, the hinge that holds the monitor screen up got busted, and the video card fan stopped working. this last thing lead to plastic framing melting all over the video card processing unit, killing my video card. i used this computer for the internet, and to listen to music and watch movies i had. i couldnt use resource-heavy software because it would get so dang hot i was afraid it would over heat

i had an ipod photo for a year and a half. i hardly used it- about once a week to go jogging with. i didnt even charge it more than once a week. it failed. basically one day it refused to start up, even if reset.

my friend had an ipod mini he bought 2 years ago. he had to fix it 3 times so far.

my mom has had an ibook for 2 years and so far its working ok

yep, i have a pretty negative overall opinion of apple's products

I don't really get the pudding joke.

me neither. maybe he's trying to say that something called 'pudding' doesn't sound like it would have a good taste? or that if a food item is called something else instead of 'dessert', it automatically stops being as fattening?

But the tuxedo one is my favorite. But that might just be because it reminds me of a line from the Venture Brothers.

yep

Oh, and Slate has an article about the song, which I think is pretty spot-on.
