Sure Money Bet? Will Apple discontinue IPOD shuffle?

bodog doesnt take my mastercard

 

Who is Jackfruit I wanna know?

By the way the IPOD Shuffle does suck, and deserves to be discontinued.

 

it's too expensive..the nano 1GB is about $150

 

That right there is a futures contract with sh!tty odds.

Remember there is a lot smarter money out there than you. People with inside info can trade on these things, as opposed to the NYSE or NASDAQ where that is illegal.

 

True, but on most of these type of odd-ball bets they limit the bet to about 500 bucks max. Its sort of like those bets that come during the show The Amazing Race,and people in the home city of the winner flood the betting lines, because they've seen a change in the lifestyle of the contestants. Thus they have to shut down the betting lines for such events.

On the Nasdaq, an IPOD Shuffle discontinuation wouldnt affect share prices greatly, as they have much better products in their pipeline. And generally information such as this, as in most stocks are already priced in, by insiders or those who know the insiders.

 

Flash memory is cheap. Apple could just drop the price.

 

I never understood why anyone would want a shuffle.

 

They're only $69 bucks now.

 

"Life is Pointless": Fake iProducts

I've had it. I can't stare at those hip, aren't-we-clever, "Life is random" ads anymore.

The whole campaign--brilliant, mind you--smacks of a cover-up, a positive spin to the fact that the iPod Shuffle, um, well, sorta-kinda doesn't have an LCD screen.

Somehow, though, the evil-geniuses at Apple convinced us that this limitation, this critical design shortcoming, is actually a good thing.

Why stop at music? By using "Life is __________," Apple can make just about any product, strip away its functionality, and spin it as a hot new feature.

Take these 5 iProducts, which, for all we know, might hit stores this fall.

1) "Life is pointless." iRock.
Perfect for those who already own both an iPod and an iPod shuffle. The iRock is smaller than a cigarette lighter. It's white. It's shiny. And the design is breathtakingly simple: it has no moving parts. No circuitry. No buttons. No earphones. No speakers. It doesn't even play music. Priced at just $49, it's the perfect hunk of hard plastic. Think of it as your own pet iRock. Sling it around your neck while dancing. Like life, the iRock is pointless.

2) "Life is dangerous." iCrash.
Apple's most daring product yet. The iCrash redefines what we expect in an automobile, delivering unparalleled ease, style, and simplicity. Made entirely out of shiny white plastic, the iCrash is only slightly larger than a bobsled, designed to snugly fit the wiry teenager. Just four buttons control the vehicle: left, right, stop, go. To move in reverse, simply hold down the "left" button for a couple of seconds. Safety first? Please. Life is dangerous.

3) "Life is simple." iCell.
It's a fact. Most homeowners spend over 1,300 hours a year on home maintenance. Think about it: you fix faucets, clean gutters, cauk ceilings. Enough. It's time for a change. It's time for iCell. This revolutionary home is smaller than a jail cell and whiter, too. No windows that need washing or linen that needs folding. Just four sleek walls, a shiny plastic floor, and a killer, bone-white ceiling. Simplify. With iCell.

4) "Life is short." iChoke
We've all visited old people in those stuffy hospital rooms. The food is bland and the decor is garish. And the equipment is gray and junky and cluttered with plastic tubes. Not anymore. Check out the iChoke, a sleek new respirator--smaller than a deck of playing cards. To make it ultra-slim, the iChoke is freed of its unwieldy oxygen tubes, leaving you just the sexy slim casing. Life is short.

5) "Life is dirty." iCrap.
Let's face it. Most toilets are a headache to flush, clean, and scrub. And we're all sick of jiggling that little handle. No more. Step into the future with iCrap. This insanely-great toilet does away with antiquated, old-fashioned gimmicks like plumbing and running water. There's no bulky tank or unreliable flush. Just a white, stunningly-simple bowl that you sit on--no need to ever flush again. It fits in your backpack, so you can take it with you on the go. At just $39 a pop, it's a snap to buy another when this one fills up. Life is dirty. iCrap.

Confession time: I broke down and bought an iPod shuffle. And it kills me that I love it.

 

I own a Nano and a shuffle. The shuffle is PERFECT when I go workout or go jogging.

 

i could play basketball with it w/o worrying aboutt it falling and breaking. very light. plus, i got mine for free.

 

They are perfect for working out. ummm errr not that i'm saying everyone on the board should go to they gym or that you're a lesser person for not working out, but thats what I use my shuffle for and its great.
