Study: One third of American teens own iPods
Teen iPod ownership is apparently way up from the 1% level reported in 2003. According to a recent study, one third of American teens aged 13 through 18 own an iPod. One can only presume that the other two thirds of American teens are ticked off with insane jealousy and/or hoping for an iPod under this year's Christmas tree. These numbers come from News.com's report on the findings of the Harrison Group's 2006 Teen Trends study. The article states, quite amusingly in my opinion, that "[The teen's] love of music is second only to their love of friends and even ahead of their love of family, according to the study."

My 13 year old daughter got an ipod for Christmas. Our family loves all types of music. I am fine with her listening to it when she wants, however, she is NOT allowed to wear it 1) while at the dinner table and 2) during a family conversation and 3) while at church, which I have seen! I'm also picky as to how loud it is playing. If I have to scream at her to get her attention, it's waaaaay too loud!

Also, don't think that this bodes very well for mac sales, as I hear plenty of "iPods rock, but I'd never use a Mac".

The bit from the thighs to the ground, the chest up. Or the bit inbetween?
I took this nugget of information, and figured out that this means a lot of good news for Apple in terms of potential Mac sales. Take a look:

I am a teen and if anyone damages my iPod, I will kill them, and this includes family and friends.

Be creative, Stop drive people crazy, show Steve's "money" smile instead of showing worn-off underpants.
