#144: ...the ipod is an expensive disposable toy - when the battery goes you get to throw it away..

Supporting evidence:

"Apple, which introduced the iPod in 2001, received plenty of angry e-mail and negative publicity when the company first told customers to buy new iPods ($299 to $499) when their batteries failed"

Supporting evidence:

"Apple said it would cost about $250, later lowered to $150, or half the price of a new iPod, to replace a battery."
