TUAW Exclusive: iPod nano coverup for gigantic Steve Jobs
The world is abuzz with news about the iPod nano. People love them (they seem to love the black ones a little more), but I have uncovered shocking news, dear readers.The iPod nano is a sham. They haven't made the iPod smaller; they've made Steve Jobs much, much larger.
We have all fallen victim to his Steveness' famed Reality Distortion Field, though this time around it has been used for sinister purposes. Apple R&D elves have long been working on a device that would increase Steve's size so that his body could contain his legendary ego. The process went without a hitch, and Steve Jobs MACRO was to be introduced at the special media event.
Behind the stage, just before the media event was to start, Steve MACRO strode gigantic nervous strides. It seems that not only were his physical attributes enlarged, but his mercurial nature was amplified to the tenth power. He turned to Jonathan Ive and screamed, 'Small is the new gigantic!! Why didn't you tell me?!' Ives was stunned.
'FETCH ME A 60 GIG iPOD,' Steve MACRO bellowed. Ive scrambled across the stage with a 60GB iPod which he placed in his giant boss's hands.
'Ok, here's what we're going to do: I'll take this 60 gig iPod and introduce it as an iPod tiny. No, that doesn't work. Umm.. iPod littlest. That's crap. I've got it, the iPod nano! '

Kinda funny. :-) One thing though, it's Ive, not "Ives".

Don't you guys get tired of this whole "Steveness" thing? There's better people out there to admire. Let me know when he donates a couple of billions for Aids research and maybe I shut-up, but until then in my eyes he's just a smart guy making lots of money without wearing a suit.
Ah, the freedom of speach!

I'm waiting for the special Robin Williams edition. You know, the iPod Nanoo Nanoo.
Yeah, that was pretty lame.

When I went to the local Apple store the other day to look at the Nano, the guy behind the counter made a Mork & Mindy joke after telling me they didn't have any. I almost wanted to tell him that most people wouldn't get the joke and that they would just think he's old. Poor guy.
Fishes,

@Cacho
Read his bio. iCon. Steve's a legend. Sure we're throwing money at him but would microsoft have ever been able to make something as cool as the nano?
Don't think so somehow

Great article, howevert Penginkun's 'lame' joke made me laugh better.
