The only hope is that the day will come when there is another Tiananmen Square and this time the Chicoms will back down and crumble like the Soviets.

iPod Ping.

I swear I am not making this up, but I don't know what an ipod is. Is it a computer game? That's my best guess. Yes, I am over fifty.

[Aria]

Being over 50 is no excuse. Get with it!

[kjo]

You haven't answered my question.

It's a cool little handheld device (made by Apple) that stores LOTS of music on it (and not only does it store the music, it organizes it according to artist, album, etc.) You can use earphones to access the music or you can plug it into a dock with speakers. Also it can store video, pictures, etc., if you opt for the higher priced model.

BTW, I'm in my mid 50's and I like iPods, LOL.

It's a portable handheld device that you can upload hundreds of songs on. You take it anywhere, and it doesn't skip like a disc-man. Google it.

[Psycho_Bunny]

But they're designed in California!!!!!!

An iPod is a small, portable computerized music player, with music files contained on RAM and/or a hard drive. The iPod is slightly larger that a deck of cards.

An iPod is the most worthless, trivial, mind-numbing toy in the marketplace. Does that give you a clue?

Here's what the Sunday Mail found: [suh-nip]

So... they found this during their visit?

China has hard US dollars to support it's slave state, something the ussr never had. It will be a long time, if ever, before the people can overthrow them. Every dollar spent on chinese maufactured goods helps pay for iran and north korea's nuke programs, the chicom military and funds jihadis fighting our Troops

[kjo]

Yes. I think I like your explanation the best. As far as music goes I don't listen to anything written after 1791 anyway, that's the year Mozard died.

[GoBucks2002]

Normally, my answer to people complaining about their job, going on strike, the appalling labor conditions, etc., is that no one is holding a gun to their head and making them work here.

This taking place in the PRC, I am not so sure about that.

[dawn53]

You don't like music???? I've been around for records, 8 tracks, cassettes, and CD's...an iPod has them all beat, hands down!

[HiTech RedNeck]

The iPod shuffles are made in Suzhou, Shanghai, where workers earn $100 a month. Sounds better doesn't it? Except these laborers must pay for their own food and accommodations – requiring about half their salary.

So, $50 a month buys room and board in China. Gummint subsidies, no doubt.

[Bob Mc]

Well, I wouldn't jumped to conclusions. It's also very likely, that without this iPod factory, many of these Chinese people would have no jobs at all.

It is like a Sony Walkman only it has a hard disk instead of tapes so you use a control to select songs instead of swapping tapes. </BoomerSpaek>

It's likely that your shirt and pants and shoes are made by someone living and working in similar or worse circumstances.

I'm still using wax cylinders.
