To your PPS. I hate elitist fags who don't do stuff just because it's "popular" and other people do it. God forbid you like something for what it is and not basing it off of whether other people like to do it.

I hate people...

What if they aren't doing it because they want to maintain a little bit of individuality in a society that stresses conformity. If I wanted to be different, I would look at what everyone else is doing and then not do it rather than just taking random stabs in the dark. But I guess the entire point is moot because I own an iPod, they are really good.

Haha. I think the idea is that if you form an opinion on something using it popularity as a main point, regardless of how you view it then it was based on the popular opinion...which is still a conformity. The idea of originality for the sake of itself is inherently flawed it would seem.

It's fine to do something to make your self individualistic, my point is people who will attack you for conforming to the norm when they themselves are conforming to what people normally don't conform to. Just do things based on your own opinions and make your idea's based on how you feel about them, not what other people think about them. All I'm trying to say is, conformity is fine and non-conformity is fine, I just hate people who think that their way of life is superior just because they do something that is askew from the norm.

Also, yes, iPod's are teh precious. Sucks to be the guy who wrote that article cause he will never know how waysome they fuggin are!
