“First an iPhone price cut left early buyers feeling foolish, and then came reports that some iPods were spitting sparks,” Jessica Mintz smears for The Associated Press.
MacDailyNews Take: We didn’t feel “foolish.” We just enjoyed our superior technology – and our $100 store credits; while most of the rest of the world (and, most likely, the AP hack who scribbled this mess) fumbled around with antiquated pieces of junk. Those “some iPods” that were supposedly “spitting sparks” affected first-generation iPod nanos which haven’t been sold since December 2006 and amounted to two (2) units out of millions sold. Now you know the rest of the story – and that makes AP’s hit piece (even more) laughable.
Mintz continues, “Such a string of mishaps and missteps might throw another electronics company into crisis.”
MacDailyNews Take: See? It’s truly laughable.
Mintz continues, “But of course, Apple Inc. isn’t just another electronics company. Even as iPhone griping rages online, it looks like Apple’s sterling reputation will emerge untarnished.”
Blah, blah, blah. The full ham-fisted, amateurish load, “Apple fans loyal despite iPod, iPhone 3G woes,” Think Before You Click™, is here.
MacDailyNews Take: Seriously, is this the best AP can muster? Mintz can’t even do basic propaganda right.

Anyone have contact information for this chick? Seriously, we should send her flowers or something.
I bought a Yikes model G4 as soon as it came out. Two months later, along came Sawtooth.
I was a little bitter about it, especially after the motherboard burned out just about a month after the warranty expired, but at the same time, I understand.
It happens. I had a choice to not be an early adopter, just like I had the choice whether or not to purchase Apple Care.
I made my decision, and I lived with the benefits and consequence.
As someone else in this thread has stated already, welcome to the world of technology–This is how we roll.
