What <i>were</i> you listening to? I am a long-time Apple fan but I also try to be realistic about Apple's track record. Never have I seen a company so frequently and reliably take down it's shotgun from the rack on the wall, load it, then, taking careful aim, shoot itself in the foot. Repeatedly. ... Good Lord.

I am a long-time Apple fan but I also try to be realistic about Apple’s track record. Never have I seen a company so frequently and reliably take down it’s shotgun from the rack on the wall, load it, then, taking careful aim, shoot itself in the foot. Repeatedly.

My library wants to decree that you can only use headphones at your desk if you stick one in your ear and leave the other one out; I think this is earbud discrimination, since there is no way I can duplicate the feat with my ordinary headphones. They're open-air headphones, though, and I can hear everything that's going on around me. I hope this means I can continue to wear them, because in the absence of a raise or some meaningful responsibility, I need SOME way to make the mind-numbingly repetitive work I'll be doing these next two weeks bearable. By the way, put some peroxide or bactine or something on whatever abrasion the earbuds gave you. I caused the most hideous ear infection ever by playing with my tragus rings and accidentally putting one little scratch near my ear canal. Still can’t stand earbuds.

There is about 10 pages of BAD reviews on the apple site. I am happy they allow those reviews.. it's atleast comforting... I use some nike headphones, they have that little thing that wraps around the BACK of your ear, but its flexible and not in a set place. I love them. If you ever want a bad for your digital camera, ipod, laptop etc I highly reccomend the Australian Crumpler <a href="http://www.crumpler.com.au/" rel="nofollow">http://www.crumpler.com.au/</a> I love their website hehe There is even a flickr group dedicated to them! <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/crumplers/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/groups/crumplers/</a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixiepurls/79168088/in/set-1711848/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixiepurls/79168088/in/set-1711848/</a> I like it cause it doesnt look like a laptop back cause it's vertical.
