flawedmusicplayer.com, Matthew Peterson’s website that alleges that Apple’s iPod nano units have “broken LCD’s that have no signs of abuse by the user,” is ironically currently being hosted via Apple’s .Mac. .Mac offers the HomePage feature which can be used by .Mac members to create and publish a single webpage, a complete website, or several different sites.
According to text on the site, “I am having some problems with my .MAC [sic] account. Sorry if the links don’t work and I am working on moving the site to a different server.”

[UPDATE: 10:54pm ET: We received an email from ipodnanoflaw@yahoo.com, which we assume is from Matthew Peterson, which reads in part, “I have to ask. Why do you feel it noteworthy that the site is hosted on .MAC? It goes to show my devotion to Apple. Yes I have a .MAC account and I think it is great. I thought it was great before last weeks upgrade. People seem to keep debating about whether or not I am just some idiotic apple basher. It should be obvious to anyone that I am not. I love Apple and I love the iPod…” Mr. Peterson could, of course, love Apple very much and be legitimately highlighting a flaw in Apple’s iPod nano design. We merely though it ironic and interesting that his site was hosted on Apple’s .Mac service.]
