My in-laws gave me a sweet new iPod Nano. I had been wanting one for a while because my iPod photo feels too big and bulky, and I am willing to trade off disk space for pocket space.
Sabrina and I gave Carter and Zavier iPod shuffles. They love them and I love that I am able to set the max volume on my computer so that they don’t go deaf before they exit elementary school.
I gave Sabrina a case for her iPod. She gave me an iTunes gift card. Many of our friends and family opened boxes from Cupertino on Christmas morning. What can I say, Apple makes some quality stuff. I wouldn’t trade my MacBook Pro for any other laptop on the planet. BUT…
There is this new iPhone commercial that has some punch line like “how did you ever live without an iPhone?” To be honest, the commercial makes me a little sick to my stomach. It makes me feel like an automaton that will buy anything The Steve tells me I want. It is also just plain pompous.
I am seriously considering a moratorium on giving Apple any more of my money. I don’t want to become too dependent and entrenched with one company. Of course that is easy for me to say as I sit here with my MBP and my Nano. Still, I hate that commercial.
