So true. I am not sure I've ever met anyone who has a good thing to say about that company.- MacSuxWindozSux, on 12/10/2007, -19/+1At least they're not Ryder.
(Oklahoma City Bombing)- JoshuaH, on 12/10/2007, -2/+10...
- AROZ, on 12/10/2007, -1/+6I took out the dolly, only to realize the little sticker that reads it's a $5 extra. Damn them. Here in Canada, many of their trucks failed safety inspections. Just a company to avoid...
I don't agree with the IKEA one, but they do carry a lot that of stuff that's embarrassingly cheap. Some of the sofas, for example.- ThyLabyrinth, on 12/10/2007, -2/+7Ikea make like 99% of all their stuff in China so I expect them to change the name to Chinea in a while.
OTOH, some of their kitchen utensils I've bought have yet to disappoint after 10 years of abuse.- ryanisnotsuper, on 12/10/2007, -1/+16Everybody makes 99% of their stuff in China.
- TexMexMatt, on 12/10/2007, -1/+5After 10 years its time to get new ones anyway. That is the best thing with IKEA. It doesnt cost you a fortune to redecorate your home after a few years.
- artofwar420, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1True dat. It doesn't look bad either.
- ThyLabyrinth, on 12/10/2007, -2/+7Ikea make like 99% of all their stuff in China so I expect them to change the name to Chinea in a while.
- bxblox, on 12/10/2007, -0/+3They dont care because the know people need them... like an HMO
- ahvi, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1I've never had a problem with them.
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 12/10/2007, -19/+1At least they're not Ryder.
- gbarberi, on 12/10/2007, -8/+169Those are hilarious!
But I think Taco Bell should be 'You're high and we're still open'- T8erT0T, on 12/10/2007, -2/+62Word, 4th Meal is really code for Stoned Meal, but they can't say that on advertising.
- jdic06, on 12/10/2007, -1/+3word
- NecroSexy, on 12/10/2007, -1/+12No, that's Waffle House.
- Ndiggnation, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1No doubt, I don't think I've ever been to a Waffle House sober..
- Protoss, on 12/10/2007, -0/+9Thats more akin to Jack In The Box. I've gone to my local one at 4AM and the drive-thru was packed.
- Naagy, on 12/10/2007, -0/+29And I bet no one from the drive-thru ran over a little girl on a bike.
- DarkSamus, on 12/10/2007, -0/+14i wonder how many girls those high dudes had to hit before they finally got it right for the commercial
- qwertydvorak, on 12/10/2007, -0/+9they just used a family of sextuplets, took 6 takes and edited the best together.
- jeff303, on 12/10/2007, -0/+4I wonder how many little girls were out riding bikes at 4AM
- DarkSamus, on 12/10/2007, -0/+14i wonder how many girls those high dudes had to hit before they finally got it right for the commercial

- thebrawl, on 12/10/2007, -1/+13Taco John's: We put hair in your cold food.
(Maybe that one's just my experience)- gbarberi, on 12/10/2007, -0/+3I think so dude :)
- aliengoods, on 12/10/2007, -0/+2Buried as inaccurate. The food isn't cold.
- aduzik, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1But taco burgers and potato oles... so friggin' tasty.
- DarkSamus, on 12/10/2007, -2/+8you guys don't know *****, stoner meal is white castle!!
- SoCalMario, on 12/10/2007, -9/+3YOU dont know *****! Stoner meal and drunk meals are ROBERTOS and ASADAS here in San Diego. REAL Fast Mexican food Rules in Southern Cali!!!

- MutatedNantuko, on 12/10/2007, -1/+2Oh man, do I have some great stories from working a summer there....
- petewiz, on 12/10/2007, -0/+2Bill Maher?
- epuiatti, on 12/10/2007, -1/+12FOX NEWS - We will keep feeding you ***** and pray that you dont notice.
- Orion682, on 12/10/2007, -0/+2Pfff, White Castle is ALWAYS open and is more crowded at 3AM than it is at lunch time around here in NYC. So yeah, that's be the proper stoner meal :P
- T8erT0T, on 12/10/2007, -2/+62Word, 4th Meal is really code for Stoned Meal, but they can't say that on advertising.
- Leo21k, on 12/10/2007, -28/+73Pop-tarts are not disgusting.
- digger4, on 12/10/2007, -8/+92maybe you just havent realized that they are
- thebellmaster1x, on 12/10/2007, -3/+42You just blew my mind.
- MaiSacNjoMouf, on 12/10/2007, -1/+11I think you just made a fact man!
- dvsbastard, on 12/10/2007, -6/+54I agree, pop tarts are fantastic... unless you decide to eat them...
- AROZ, on 12/10/2007, -1/+5Fantastic for what? Lab experiments?
- Azio, on 12/10/2007, -2/+11Remember Pop Tart Danishes? Those were ***** awesome. WAY better than regular pop tarts.
- Dumbledorito, on 12/10/2007, -0/+14Those suckers have 200 calories per serving! An old college roommate I had liked to eat them with butter as well.
- Urusai, on 12/10/2007, -2/+31So how was the funeral?
- Dumbledorito, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1The buffet was incredibly unhealthy.
- DarkSamus, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1"They carved no hopeful verse upon his tombstone; for his dying hour was bloom.”
- nakani, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1And the serving size is per "tart", not per pack, no less!
- Urusai, on 12/10/2007, -2/+31So how was the funeral?
- tehpwnerofn00bs, on 12/10/2007, -9/+12The only people who think that pop tarts are actually good, are people who also think McDonald's is fine dining.
- aaronm67, on 12/10/2007, -1/+21People, who criticize, what other people eat, just to be jack, asses, are, also people who, apparently have, no idea, how to use, commas.
- bxblox, on 12/10/2007, -0/+3those comma's hurt my brain
- captnkurt, on 12/10/2007, -0/+4"those comma's hurt my brain"
They must have hurt the part of your brain that knows the difference between plural and possessive.
- captnkurt, on 12/10/2007, -0/+4"those comma's hurt my brain"
- po43292, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Really? GTFO.
- bxblox, on 12/10/2007, -0/+3those comma's hurt my brain
- Hoogs, on 12/10/2007, -1/+3Hey, there's no denying that McDonald's food tastes good, I don't care who you are.
- xtremesniper, on 12/10/2007, -2/+2I'm denying it right here. McDonald's does not taste good. At all.
- aaronm67, on 12/10/2007, -1/+21People, who criticize, what other people eat, just to be jack, asses, are, also people who, apparently have, no idea, how to use, commas.
- evilpig, on 12/10/2007, -6/+12Poptarts are ***** good. I rarely eat them but I love them
- OccultVariable, on 12/10/2007, -4/+4Pop-tarts are awesome. Blueberry is the best, but nobody can see that for some reason.
- DarkSamus, on 12/10/2007, -0/+3he said pop-tarts, not table talks
- Cloned, on 12/10/2007, -1/+26I'll take Toaster Struedels over Pop Tarts any day.
- broeks, on 12/10/2007, -0/+6I keep the pop tarts my mom gives me in my locker at school until it gets so full that they all fall out. Then I ask my friend for his Toaster Strudel, but he just laughs at me. Thing is, I just don't have the heart to tell her.
- riah, on 12/10/2007, -1/+1I see what you did there.
- broeks, on 12/10/2007, -0/+6I keep the pop tarts my mom gives me in my locker at school until it gets so full that they all fall out. Then I ask my friend for his Toaster Strudel, but he just laughs at me. Thing is, I just don't have the heart to tell her.
- qwertydvorak, on 12/10/2007, -3/+1pop-tart a la mode is where it's at. the hot tart melts the ice cream a bit. mmmmmmm....
- brufleth, on 12/10/2007, -1/+2Eating a pop tart is like consuming processed tire rubber with sugar and margarine on it. I'm not saying I don't eat them on road trips and such but they're probably about as good for you as redbull and twinkies.
- sekhui, on 12/10/2007, -1/+1redbull and twinkies -- mmm....
- geodescent, on 12/10/2007, -0/+3wwhat's wwrong wwith rred bbull aand ttwinkiess?!!
- Hoogs, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1I agree. I just had some cherry ones out of a vending machine this morning and that has been (and probably will be) the highlight of my day.
- digger4, on 12/10/2007, -8/+92maybe you just havent realized that they are
- Zarokima, on 12/10/2007, -50/+150"iPod: It’ll break in a year, but by then you’ll want the new one."
I've had mine for 4 years and it works perfectly.- renegadeafk, on 12/10/2007, -17/+47You're a lucky one then.
- turpenine, on 12/10/2007, -15/+10I am too.
- justinil, on 12/10/2007, -12/+74 years. must be lucky, too.
- Syphon8, on 12/10/2007, -13/+7Ironic eh, me too.
- readerofbooks, on 12/10/2007, -3/+7+1 and mine has been through hell i drop so many times i forget the case get it wet.... and yet it still seems to work just fine glad i didnt get applecare
- Haz3rd, on 12/10/2007, -9/+273 years and going for me. All you have to do is not drop the damn thing and it'll last for years.
- craprock, on 12/10/2007, -1/+12Yeah, but what the hell excuse would I use to get a new one then?
- linzichan, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1My old one has chunks missing out of the corners from all the time I've dropped it on sidewalks, but then again, it's a 4GB mini....
- CondoleezzaRice, on 12/10/2007, -1/+85Internet: everything you read here is true
- IEatHamburgers, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1Ah, something I agree with the Secretary of State about!
- Disease, on 12/10/2007, -0/+7Or until the battery stops charging.
My 3rd Gen iPod would still be working if it didn't decide to stop being detected on my system. I can still listen to music but I'm stuck with the songs that are on it.- designerutah, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1Hook it up to a Macintosh, go through all the appropriate reset procedures that Apple recommends, then use the Disk Utility to low level initialize the hard drive. Then put it back onto Windows iTunes and go through the initialization procedure again. I have done that with several older iPods and got them working again.
- Disease, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1Problem is I need to use Firewire and for whatever reason no Mac wants to talk to it when using Firewire.

- over90000, on 12/10/2007, -5/+45Welcome to how people with perfectly stable Windows feel having to put up with bashing from Apple and Linux sections.
- SLockhart, on 12/10/2007, -9/+6I know!!! I've been working with windows for over 10 years and I still don't know what the BSOD looks like.
- eridius, on 12/10/2007, -9/+2If you have perfectly stable Windows then you are the exception, not the rule. On the other hand iPods are pretty durable, so lasting for several years is the rule, not the exception. In the first case, the bashing is warranted. In the second, not so much.
- exgiexpcv, on 12/10/2007, -7/+3I've had my newest one since Feb 2004, and it still works great. Bear in mind I have never dropped it, hit it with a baseball bat, or worn it while watching The "O'Reilly Factor."
- Tyr7BE, on 12/10/2007, -3/+84 years means you had a 3G ipod - the last good generation. A friend of mine has a 3G that still works. I had a 4G for one year and two weeks. Those two weeks were just for good measure I guess. Hard drive died at that point and that was the end of the ipod. I also had two friends who recommended I buy an ipod because for the first year and a half it was the cat's ass...until they both had theirs break. A year and a half. That's worth $400 alright. A music player for a year.
- Astaro, on 12/10/2007, -0/+3I bought a gen4 the day it came out in New Zealand,
Its still working perfectly.
its almost annoying, because I cant justify buying a new one ;-) - jjuustin, on 12/10/2007, -0/+2My G5 ipod died after one year and three weeks, right after the warranty expired. I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but damn.
- katrayun, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1My 4G ipod is 3 years old and still working beautifully.
- tyzent, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1second gen and still going strong... it doesn't hold as much battery life, but i think that is my only complaint
- Astaro, on 12/10/2007, -0/+3I bought a gen4 the day it came out in New Zealand,
- JoeDiggsIt, on 12/10/2007, -2/+6I've dropped mine quite consistenly, several times being on concrete, and the damn thing (a 60gb video) works great. Never had an iPod crap out on me. I just get the new ones....well...because they're shiny.
- SoCalMario, on 12/10/2007, -0/+5How about: Ipod, you buy it, some steals it, and you buy it again and someone steals it again!
- Rudiger81, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1Thats not true, mine lasted just over 18 months, they are designed to be dropped like on the road and foot path aren't they? Oh and the flight of stairs I lost mine down once
- hollygolitely, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1i'm going to bridge the gap here and say ive had my newest iPod for awhile now, but i've also had one crap out on me after 18 months. but thats really just evocative of the longer a product is produced the better it gets. of course 2nd gen is gonna die. but they eventually fixed that.
i will say though, haven't you guys had enough with mackid/pcdude? i have. for sure. - amishjim, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1my 40 gb has been going for 4 years and is still loving life. Used daily On Set, on my motorcycle everywhere i go0o0o00o0.
- diggimator, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1After dropping it repeatedly and dents, my mini finally broke after 2.6 years - just after my 2.5 year warranty expired. Would've loved to have had it break while it was still covered by warranty instead!
- Brad324, on 12/11/2007, -0/+1I'm on my 3rd now, and it's semi-broken.
iPod #1 (20 gig): marinaded in spilled protein shake inside my gym bag
iPod #2 (shuffle): it's so light, I didn't realize it was in my pocket as I soaked in the hot tub
iPod #3 (nano): still working, but it fell out of my pocket at the gym, and guess where I dropped the dumbbell after the exercise? The bottom is now deformed.
- renegadeafk, on 12/10/2007, -17/+47You're a lucky one then.
- dvsbastard, on 12/10/2007, -20/+172Apple: Think Different - Just like everyone else...
- MackenzieArbour, on 12/10/2007, -15/+21Exactly. I think people who buy something just because no one else has it are just as bad as people who buy something just because everyone else has it. Here's a crazy idea; why don't you actually think for yourself, and buy something not to conform or be different but because you like it. But of course you just want to be noticed or fit in. Besides, that would take WAY too much thinking.
- noahhoward, on 12/10/2007, -8/+20Uhhh not sure who you've been researching, but I bought a Mac because it was the best solution in my opinion, I could care less who else has one or why.
- MackenzieArbour, on 12/10/2007, -1/+7I have a Mac as well. I'm not specifically targeting Apple on this one. I'm just saying that a lot of people buy products without thinking of their personal needs. You are obviously in the minority.
- jasmus, on 12/10/2007, -6/+4I thought for myself, and after using OS X for a while I thought it was a better tool for my computing needs. I then thought about the limitations of software, which made me think of what I really used a computer for. This lead me to think about the software that comes with a Mac, and how I thought it was more than enough for what I do. Then I had a thought, I could still use my windows box as well. then... I thought about it. THINK!
- MackenzieArbour, on 12/10/2007, -1/+3Like I said to noahhoward, I'm not specifically talking about Apple. I'm just talking about people who don't think for themselves.
- Tyr7BE, on 12/10/2007, -4/+10Don't mind the negative diggs. We all know you're right - it's the apple apologists. They're out in force.
- quii, on 12/10/2007, -0/+2The 90's called, the non-conformists want thier cool back.

- Tyr7BE, on 12/10/2007, -3/+11Just like everyone else's.
- thebrawl, on 12/10/2007, -3/+31Apple: Because you like shiny stuff.
- ZenMojo, on 12/10/2007, -2/+19Apple: It's not really worth it unless you constantly tell everybody else it is.
- postalblowfish7, on 12/10/2007, -6/+38% market share is everyone?
- unloud, on 12/10/2007, -2/+3Apple: We did it for the Benjamins.
- Elranzer, on 12/10/2007, -0/+3Apple: There's actually only two choices. We're the other one. But you're still unique for choosing us.
- tcpip4lyfe, on 12/10/2007, -3/+9Apple: Our computers are expensive for no reason.
- eridius, on 12/10/2007, -9/+2The 90's called, they want their Apple bashing back.
- Arramol, on 12/10/2007, -0/+5Didn't you just bash Windows a few comments back? You don't get to bash one OS and then claim it's lame to bash yours.
- tcpip4lyfe, on 12/11/2007, -1/+1If you're directing your comment at me, I use ubuntu. I get to bash both though really I have nothing against either.
- diggimator, on 12/10/2007, -0/+2Brings back memories of the 90's. Before the iMac, Macs were too expensive, and before OS X, Macs didn't support two-button mice.
- eridius, on 12/10/2007, -9/+2The 90's called, they want their Apple bashing back.

- crapmatic, on 12/10/2007, -4/+3Yeah... I've gone through 200 movies over 5 years and never had to wait more than a few days. Then again we don't usually get the latest blockbusters.
- po43292, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1You have to time it right to get the new releases.
- hollygolitely, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1thats not netflix, thats your mail people dude. i used to have a huge issue with not getting *****, and then i realized after my mailman consistently put my utility bills in my neighbors box that there was something else amiss!

- StealthMonkey, on 12/10/2007, -2/+17Yeah... most of those taglines were good. However, the Samsung one is a WTF?
- Tyrghast, on 12/10/2007, -0/+7Same here, my samsung 17" widescreen monitor is beautiful and has yet to exhibit any problems
- TeacherOfHeroes, on 12/10/2007, -0/+3Samsung monitors are truely amazing - I've still got a 14 inch CRT from 1994 that works properly.
- Smwbigboss, on 12/10/2007, -0/+8That tagline would have been true 15 years ago. Now it's just rootkits, and proprietary media.
- phlebitis, on 12/10/2007, -2/+1Samsung's ultra slim phones are miles ahead of Sony's.
- Elranzer, on 12/10/2007, -2/+3Sony: Proprietary formats? What proprietary formats?
