iPod, therefore i Am. Steve Jobs may want to reconsider.

[freedumb2003]

Someone want to tell me what scriptures are being quoted?

Descartes yes, scriptures, no.

[TomServo]

Breaking news?

[Dr. Frank fan]

The heading reads: iPod, therefore i Am. [..] So, when I see commerce using the scriptures to promote themselves

Descartes = "the scriptures"??

I sure hope this is parody. If so, it's hilarious! :-)

[AQGeiger]

The phrase "I think, therefore I am" comes from Rene Descartes' Discourse on Method.

While Descartes was very religious, the phrase does not come from religious scripture by any means.

[rdb3]

Descartes said "I think therefore I am."

It's not in the Bible.

BTW, wasn't Descartes an atheist?

Quite right./ You beat me to it. Klimeckg has confused ' I think therefore I am' with 'I am that I am'. Methinks Klimeckg has a little too much time on his/her hands....

Also, he must be a little surprised by the lack of divine retribution to other prominent individuals putting their names up high (ie Trumop towers)...

If you're alluding to "I think, therefore, I am", that's Rene Descartes, not Scripture.

I am told that Mr. Wang put his name in big letters on the top of the Wang building in Boston

There's a lot of companies that put their name on buildings and things: Heinz, Coors, DuPont, ad infinitum. What's your point?

[Yardstick]

I am curious to see how things pan out from this day forward.

I'm interested in seeing how this thread pans out.

[Petronski]

Wow, are you confused. It's not like he said "I am the name that must not be spoken: iPod."

[gargoyle]

...John Lennon did not say the Beatles were greater than Jesus, He said the Beatles, at the time, were more popular than Jesus...

[Bella_Bru]

And it is reported that Wang computers fell due to such boasting. I am told that Mr. Wang put his name in big letters on the top of the Wang building in Boston.

Do you have any idea how many companies are named after their founder?

OK, it's never a wrong time for.....The Philosphers Drinking Song:

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'bout the raisin' of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
after half a pint of champy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away,
'alf a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
and Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am."

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.

you misspelled koran. and this isnt an islamic murmuring site.

[Vermonter]

On the plus side, iPod, Jobs and Newsweek are correct

[MrLee]

I bought one iPod when they first came out and another since. Love 'em!! And my Apple stock has gone from $13 to around $33.
I'm happy!

[eleven_eleven]

or confused with "i yam what i yam". maybe the pious poster thinks popeye is the anti-christ.

Descartes was pretty devout. He was raised Catholic but became a believer in Jansenism, which was an offshoot of the Catholic Church in the 1600's. Jansenism was actually heretical as far as the Church was concerned, though, because it emphasizes predestination as opposed to free will.
