Guess what seems to be broken again?

Don't tell me you already knew it was my iPod!  Apparently, the iPod Photo was the most overpriced piece of shit electronic device ever created. 

For the record, this is my THIRD iPod Photo.  I got the first one as a gift from my friends in August 2005; it stopped working in July 2006.  The second one died at the end of May 2007.   It's been only 4 months since then, and this iPod has been babied like none I've ever had before.  Yet here I am, looking at the sad iPod icon on my device at my desk. 

Why are they so shitty?  And why the fuck won't they just give me an updated model??  I refuse to believe that every generation of iPod is as unreliable as the iPod Photo.  If they were, people wouldn't keep buying them in such huge numbers. 

Naturally, there are no appointments available today ant my nearest Apple store, so I was forced to schedule an appointment for tomorrow at the "Genius Bar."  After my last experience, it's obvious to me that nobody working in an Apple store should be known as a genius...and nobody who builds, markets and refuses to effectively replace such crap should be considered one, either.
