The iPod Has Arrived »
In the popular visualization of a tornado, a new technology gains popular appeal at phenomenal rates, while spawning a whole industry of add-ons for the technology. It should be obvious that the iPod has reached this plateau, with all sorts of accessories to be found for the minute music player. It has become a part of mainstream conciousness.
Now it has apparently made another step towards greatness. Apparently they are being stolen at increasingly frequent rates, and in at least one case, someone has apparently been killed for theirs. More importantly, authorities suspect that it was stolen not for resale, but for personal use. Yes, someone was killed for their iPod. Wow.
Have we really come to the point that a portable music player is worth a person's life? Or, more accurately, that a person's life is worth a portable music player? I hope that it was at least a fourth-generation model and not a Shuffle or something.
