Touch that music, mama

I guess iPods are here to stay. And a friend just gave me iPod Touch for my birthday. I'm not comfortable with the pirated songs she put on it for me, though. But comfortable enough to not go buy them right away. After I get my taxes done, if I have any money left.

Since it's by Apple, it's mostly familiar. I'm not down with swiping screens; it's like fingerpainting and I graduated kindergarten, thank you. Grownups use pencils and stuff.

Stupid iPod tricks:

The image on the screen rotates from vertical to horizonal, for no reason I can figure out. Pick one and stay that way, pinhead.

I did manage to turn off the "shake to shuffle" function. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?

It seems to start playing something the instant it's turned on. And, while it will pause, it won't stop and go into neutral so I can pick something else. Pause ain't stop, genius. And naming a playlist function "genius?" Get a grip. Have you ever worked with a jelly-ware genius? It's not easy.
