Awesome article :D

I never said they were definitive. A boot loader can change things, yes, but keeping an eye on the boot screen wont hurt now, will it? And all the new iPods need the new earphones with the microphones to record. @Ray Of course, no one will fall for 'a piece of fruit with headphones stuck in it'. I just found the pictures symbolic. @shrimants
