香港獨立媒體 - Comments for "iPod-mania"

I finally realize what I missed...

我都係用返中交啦...我o的英文差成咁.....(通常o的人用英文同我講我就會用英文回應...唔知點解...)

言歸正傳,我而家先發覺無我指明係講香港..........
當然,香港都有唔少人對待iPod態度唔似得o的潮人......
當然,又會有人問「點解一定要你個態度先得,潮人個態度就唔得」........唔係唔得,只不過唔尊重iPod...鍾意iPod鍾意到發晒癲都只係因為個個話佢潮...死未?...
死啦,原來我會唔鍾意人o地識欣賞o野....睇怕我都係跳樓死o左佢算喇............
我係唔鍾意iPod,但係我究竟話過佢有咩咁唔掂呢?
我話我認為iPod nano望落去比較怪,我諗大家唔同意都唔會唔畀我咁講o卦.......
我話佢設計悶....悶還悶...Tony Jaa以後拍廿部戲都係o個o的動作夠悶....不過我可以話佢唔勁咩.......

insightful,sour grapes,craps,even a piece of shit...whatever you say...they're all my fault....
I apologize for irritating the iPod users.....
係我表達能力有問題.........

Thanks for your insightful analysis

Look, I'm not saying "You're a moron! iPod is the best!!!" or I must have your acknowledgment of "iPod is the coolest gadget!!". Why am I taking time to reply your article? Because of your expressed motivation for writing. You begins your article like this:

iPod nano推出後，一如所料，成為各報刊的新寵兒，而成為「潮物」，亦是意料中事。
為何我不覺得 iPod nano「型/靚」呢？
只可惜我只能聽見「呢部 iPod好靚呀！」（高八度的聲線）。
iPod總是潮物，總有一大班 iPod-manic的人追隨。

What does this snappy little introduction tell us? It tells us that all of the iPod's positive press really bugs you. Mac users are celebrating, potential iPod-switchers are excited, the press is infatuated, and you are personally irritated by it all. So you write a poorly thought-out commentary in order to insult 21+ millions iPod users.

Sour grapes

Sevenine,

Now, you admit you are a blind "ipod users" basher with nothing better to do than write silly columns, how about finally tell us the reasons why you dislike "the attutide of the others on ipods"?
Are you jealous of people who enjoy and appreciate of good designs? Or do you believe all ‘ipod users’ think ipods are the only mp3 players out there and everything is just crap!!
I can continue to write a lots of speculation here, but the real answer can only come from you.

it is absolutely cool

I don't think I can say it is not cool....but just boring....................
well....I am still wondering if I did bash iPod....
again...I did not say iPod is not good....I had just a little comment on the design of iPod nano.....
should I point out that what I don't like is the attitude of the others on the iPod?(<--and I want to know....is this sentence grammatically correct?)

Get a clue

Basically, you're fine if you stay away from the iPod. Just because you don't think iPod is cool is no reason to bash on others. And if you want us to agree with you, don't be so eager to bash a product you haven't well experienced yet.

Here an article from BusinessWeek as to why iTunes is the best software for managing music.

well...

comments are expected, and they are right at all...ofcoz i should give some points/reasons...but should there be any reasons?
I DID NOT SAY iPOD IS NOT GOOD AT ALL(actually i think it's not bad,but just not as good as people say) so i didn't (have to) give any reason to prove that "why iPod is so bad"......
i just don't like iPod, should i hate it?...
i am really sorry(really) that i wrote some "opinion-only" thing...maybe i will label them next time when i write something simular again....

well,iTunes is a good reason...but i am now using creative MuVo N200(aka nano plus...)...i just plug it in and copy the songs on it as a USB drive...what is the difference for using iPod and iTunes?...i don't know...can you tell me?...

p.s.i hope you can understand my English...i know it's quite terrible...

Give me a break

Oh Sevenine, you're so...how do I say, above pop culture. Admirable. Truly. Seriously, stop hating all the time and let people be. Yeah so it can be irritating to see all these people walking around with the trademark white earphones. Big freakin' deal.

There are cheaper alternatives, why is iPod so popular? Cool factor might be a point, the user interface, simple and elegant industrial design are the main differentiators. iPod just works so fast and so well. The interface is very intuitive and you can find your stuff really fast. Syncing with iTunes is awesome and flawless. And it's not just that it works...Creative, AFAIK, offers *nothing* like it.

A reluctant coment

I usually do not comments on commentaries that critize on iPods, as I use one myself. However, I had to say: this article lacks substantial and valid arguments as to "what is so bad about iPod", aside from the fact that seemingly a lot of people use them now.

There are MP3 players that are smaller than the iPods, and there are players that had more functions than the iPods. So, why are iPods selling like hotcakes? There is no explanation in the article. What about form factors, ease of use, integration with the music management software? And what about relatively low price(per gigabyte wise), and substantial amount of accessories? These are the strong points of iPod, not just because it is hip or good looking.

I hate to say this, but we do not need bashes without viable arguments. Give us some reasonable points other than opinions, would you mind?
