The New York Times
Technology Section
"The 'wheel.' Is it here to stay or just a passing fancy?"

I cannot believe this
I mean it's The New York Times.... THE New York Times!! The "shuffle" option is one paragraph in the iPod manual, so I ask: How can it possibly warrant a 2-page article in anything?!?! Let alone the TECHNOLOGY section of The New York Times!! Honestly? Who is in charge of this section? My mom?! (Sorry, mom, but when it comes to electronics, you're lost. I love you, but you're lost.) Actually, anyone who has an iPod and hasn't yet figured out how to solve the "problem" mentioned in the article does not deserve to own one live. I couldn't stop reading it cause I was waiting for some kind of punch line. But while I was left without one, I guess it is funny that this is considered such bleeding edge technology to the people that have the job that I should have.

I'm not saying this article shouldn't have been written, it's just in the wrong section. It should've been in "If you just snapped out of a coma, read me" section, which happens to be the same section as How not to break your stuff and "James and his... 'cell phone', is it?". By the way, James, check out the life you so narrowly escaped.
