Top 10 reasons/places not to use an iPod

There has been recent rash of iPod events/incident that the press has been very kind to warn us about. Here are my recommendations of places and situations where people should avoid using their iPods (or look for alternatives).



1. Airline toilets. Maybe a Zune would be a better alternative since its bigger than the nano and the brown color will hide any, err, hmm, stains.



2. Mowing the lawn during a thunderstorm. I recommend a boom box at the edge of the lawn cranking out Toby Keith.



3. If you want to climb Mount Everest while listening to Van Halen. You should carry a Zune so you can share three songs for three days after you make summit, dude.



4. If you are in high school and your bff doesn’t have an iPod.



5. If you have over 90,000 songs. Just carry your RAID on your back with its own power pack and headphone setup. Sweet.



6. If you are concerned about autism. Only the soothing sounds of Celine Dion can help us.



7. If you are concerned about DRM (even though you have never have purchased a tune from iTunes Store).



8. Because it doesn’t have built-in wifi, bluetooth, voip, fm receiver, or even a voice recorder. Sheesh. Really - what use is this device?



9. If you are travelling to the UK and you have a tan or you have had a little too much medicinal marijuana and start driving around or you are afraid of getting mugged. Umm, I think its safe to say that when travelling to the UK, a Rio player would be best. No one would recognize it or want it.



10. If you are Steve Ballmer. I pity his kids. Hopefully that trust fund can kick in soon so they can hook up their disguised iPods to their disguised Macbooks.
