World’s Largest iPod (with photo)
Thursday, May 25, 2006 - 01:26 PM EDT

"Visitors walking down Third St. have been gawking at this thing for the past couple of days. The 25 ft. iPod is attached to the side of the Unizan Bank building across from the state house. Not only does it look like an iPod, but it actually plays music!. We chose some of our favorite local musicians that had submitted songs to the online jukebox and we added them to the iPpod playlist," Columbus Alive report.

Columbus Alive is a weekly entertainment magazine and website serving central Ohio with fresh, fun coverage of the music, arts, food and nightlife that makes Columbus, Ohio tick.

See the giant iPod's playlist (it's actually powered by a tiny iPod shuffle) here.

Not a lot of interesting news today MDN?

"Not a lot of interesting news today MDN?"

No one forced you to click the link did they?

May 25, 06 - 03:13 pm Comment from: Peter J

Why would the laywers care about that? It just seems like free advertising to me.

The thing is big...bigger than the diePod on the Simpsons!

May 25, 06 - 03:26 pm Comment from: beatsme

reminds me of a joke about the Soviet-era Russian Academy of Sciences...

"come to Moscow, see the world's largest transistor..."

May 25, 06 - 03:31 pm Comment from: Thorin

Wow, Hammer posted something without calling someone a tool, idiot, or any other name. He was still being hostile, but at least there is hope for him. Have a good day Hammer.

May 25, 06 - 03:34 pm Comment from: hammer

Im not hostile to people. You must have me confused with someone else. Ironically, your post used more infantile words than mine ever have.

I just call em like I see em

May 25, 06 - 03:35 pm Comment from: JEG

Got up in the wrong side of the bed Hammer?

Perhaps you can tell me how I can post a message without clicking on the link.

Have a nice day!

May 25, 06 - 03:36 pm Comment from: Mikey

Jeg, let the records show that I hate comments like yours. You can only report news if it is happening. It's not like MDN creates the news and then publishes it.

In the mean time, little tidbits like this are just fine.

May 25, 06 - 03:40 pm Comment from: hammer

Hilarious. Got up on the wrong side of the bed? Have a nice day (sarcastic im sure). I'm not the one who is bitching about MDN and their stories. If you don't like it, just move on.

Better yet, start your own Mac site and when you only post articles that 100% of the people who visit your site think are VALID, then you'll find quickly that there is nothing to post.

May 25, 06 - 03:44 pm Comment from: JEG

Wow Hammer... easy boy!

I didn't know this would be that upseting to you. If I did maybe I wouldn't have posted it

Mikey....whatever dude!

Hammer,

I actually may be confusing you with someone else that posts on this site (two hammers possibly?). You did kind of jump JEG's ass though, so perhaps you could understand the confusion. After all sometimes there ARE slow new days, and the contents of this site reflect those times accordingly. If I did make a mistake, I sincerely apologize, and I am not being sarcastic. Let's start with a clean slate here.

May 25, 06 - 03:49 pm Comment from: hammer

JEG LOL you're funny. You're one of those people who think they have everyone by the tail. It wasn't 'upsetting" to me as you are trying to characterize it. You're not capable.

Simple point being, why you hafta lay smack at people who are actually trying to run a site and make a living? Create content for their visitors and fans. If you don't like it, just don't visit or start your won site.

As for the have a nice day stuff, are you trying to convince me or yourself?

May 25, 06 - 03:52 pm Comment from: hammer

Thorin, the only people I usually smack talk to are the trolls and about the writers (aka Dvorak-a-likes).

And you have to admit he did kinda deserve it a little.

later bro.

May 25, 06 - 03:53 pm Comment from: Thorin

I would like to add that I have no qualms with this site, as I have been somewhat glued to it lately (pathetic?). I have been pretty impressed with the site and consider it a good service. If it's feeding someone, then that's even better.

May 25, 06 - 04:01 pm Comment from: RMC

wow you guys...grow up...

May 25, 06 - 04:02 pm Comment from: JEG

Hammer hammer hammer.

I'm having a great day so thanks for asking. Would love to chat more but I got to get back to my life. In the meantime get one yourself.

Take care

May 25, 06 - 04:15 pm Comment from: Dork McDorkenstein

Ooh! I wanna play too!!! You're all...uh, all.. YOU'RE ALL POO-POO HEADS!!!

hehehe... that was cool.

May 25, 06 - 04:18 pm Comment from: Artisticulated

Back ontopic, too bad Columbus wasn't cool when I went to art school there in '81. Who am I kidding? Downtown Columbus will never be cool. It's the state capital fer cryin' out loud. Bankers and Gov't types…

…muddy grey ghosties.

May 25, 06 - 04:58 pm Comment from: NewType

Artisticulated, that's an interesting point. Can anyone name any city that is also a state capital that is considered "cool?" Certainly, not Sacramento here in Cali....

May 25, 06 - 05:01 pm Comment from: me

Is hammer a sysop for MDN or just a visitor with NOTHING better to do?

Yeah, I too think the lawyers have no fight here...it is kinda cool to see...does the screen change as well? (doubt it since it is powered by a shuffle but anything is possible with 25 feet of iPod!

May 25, 06 - 07:03 pm Comment from: The Dude

State Capitol that is kewl... Madison, WI

The Dude abides

May 25, 06 - 07:10 pm Comment from: JTS

Phoenix is the capital of Aizona and it has anything and everything for anyone!

Go Suns!

May 25, 06 - 07:38 pm Comment from: LordRobin

YOU'RE ALL POO-POO HEADS!!!

Shut up, doo-doo butt!

Seriously though, I'm endlessly amused by weenies complaining about MDN articles, as if they were being forced to read them. Don't blame MDN for your lack of self-control.

May 25, 06 - 07:40 pm Comment from: Bill

Hey man, Little Rock is the capital of Arkansas.

'nuff said.

May 25, 06 - 08:58 pm Comment from: Loooong wait for ShortHorn

Good Good.

Guys, it's a free(?) advertisent for iPod. You guys should be happy.

May 25, 06 - 09:40 pm Comment from: iPodluver

The real news is...
>it's actually powered by a tiny iPod shuffle

You go little Shuffle, Go!

Wassup Christopher!

May 25, 06 - 10:01 pm Comment from: Rhapsody is a virus

Do not use it, rhapsody is a virus and a spyware.

May 25, 06 - 10:37 pm Comment from: Ampar

It's gone. Yao Ming bought it.

May 26, 06 - 06:09 pm Comment from: Hotlanta

Atlanta is the capital of Georgia and Atlanta (or at least the sprawling suburbs and outlying communities) are pretty cool.

May 28, 06 - 06:07 am Comment from: StevieG

I personally think it's pretty cool and ingenious. But... what do I know? raspberry

Don't get hammered kids. Get nailed!

May 28, 06 - 09:15 am Comment from: John

Austin is pretty cool here in TX. Live music capitol of the world. As well as a very tech savvy city.

May 28, 06 - 02:14 pm Comment from: mintdog

I can see Apple Legal just starting to salivate right now.

May 29, 06 - 12:00 am Comment from: Dave

Dude... that's three blocks from my house and I had to read about it on the internet. I need to get out more.
