Ipod Clickwheel of Doom
Or maybe we should call this story “We need a new category added”. Looks like those crazy linux geeks have been at it again! Now they have ID Software’s Doom up and running on various Apple Ipod’s. The catch? You have to install Linux on the bugger. Check out the mod here. My favorite part of that Web Site is the section that says “What if something goes wrong?”. It’s an Ipod, you will just have to reload your music again. Oh yeah before you get super excited did I mention that Doom only runs at 3-4fps…

well it’s means posessive when its means it is. or it was.
i don’t even care about the i/I issue cause I don’t like iPods. ridiculous capitalizing the 2nd letter instead of first. who does apple think they are?
A successful company built on making classy personal computers with an easy to use operating system that has designed a creative product that uses a great method of file management control.
The small “i” is a tradition since the iMac, eBook, etc. The “i” is decapitalized to emphasize plain innovation and plain interaction without yelling either of those. That’s the take some of Apple’s employees take the “i” to mean. It is intended to make it more subtle.
It doesn’t matter if the capitalization of the second letter is lame (and it is); the point is that they’ve branded their product as “iPod” and it should be written that way.
Boots, “it’s” is the contraction “it is”, “its” without an apostrophe is posessive. It’s the only exception to the rule. However, this isn’t really relevant, as the apostrophe in question was not used either as a contraction or for making something possessive, but in making something plural.
Just imagine how successful the iPod would be if Apple were to release a “gaming Ipod”. With their marketing madness I’m sure it would fly.
Hey spelling nazi’s,
You can sux my nutz. How’s that for spelling? I promise from now on to alWaYs WATCH my capitlizations and my spellingz.
God forbid Steve Jobs come down from the burning bush and see that portagaming didn’t capitilize iPod correctly….freaking cowards…
Actually I think I’m right in saying that “It’s” is both possessive and the contraction, without the “‘” it’s the pluralisation.

Is it really that hard to write the lowercase i and the capital P? I can’t believe how many techy-gadget-sites screw this up all the time.
