Parody: Apple releases iSmack nano
BBspot (think: The Onion, but for tech) has a nice parody piece on Apple releasing the "iSmack nano," an iPod nano with a pair of brass knuckles attached that is a response to stories of iPod-related muggins. From the article: "We noticed the iPod nano was big enough to lay across the hand. So the iPod's legendary durability combined with some knuckle rings and a new brass finish was just the perfect combination for personal defense," said Jobs."One more line from the article just begs to be quoted: "Our product literally beats the crap out of the competition," says Jobs." I highly recommend BBspot for a good daily dose of tech industry parody.

"Muggins"? That sounds like a pet name that British people might use.
