I first kissed a girl while playing her Ghost in the Shell on my iPod
The girl was a hot techie gamer cyberpunk chick and I kissed her for the first time with my iPod playing Ghost In The Shell: Making of a Cyborg in both our ears. Steve knows what he's talking about here.

I have to say I mainly agree with Jobs on this one.
Microsoft is encouraging "nerdiness" while Apple is telling you to live your life and interact with one another.
I guess his point is that the world has become a colder place, with serious lack of human contact promoted by the internet and the digital content that surrounds us. I'm all in favor to true human interaction, switching earbuds and etc, do we really need to send something to someone that is 5 feet away? Just get up and go there... And c'mon, whoever is saying that they're disgusted of putting on someone else's earbud is just being paranoid and picky, like the "shark attack" and "killer bee's" danger, it's just in your head, you ain't getting AIDS from an earbud...
IMO people need to get out more, talk to each other and stop doing everything wirelessly and digitally.
JOBS RULLLLLZZZZ! (I lost it now...)

Yes, that is a very nerdy/geeky thing to do. "Zune"-ing music wirelessly is only something geeks can come up with, whereas Steve's suggestion of sharing earbuds is so much cooler and, dare I say it, sexually suggestive!
Yes.. especially when the person you want to share the tune with isn't a girl.. but a fat, sweaty, hairy guy who's just getting over an ear infection.
Yea. I'd let that dude ram one of my earbuds in his head and sit all close in the cafeteria while we listen to music.
Plenty of people i'd let listen to music I had.. not alot of people i'd share my earbuds with, or wanna sit all close with.
Recently, a guy I had just met asked to use my cell phone.. so I let him.
He must have talked on the phone for less than a minute, but when he handed it back, the damn thing was DRIPPING with sweat.
Yuck.
A real nice guy, very friendly, and a pleasure to sit and talk with.. and would probably give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.. but if the way he handed my cell phone back is any indication, you'd have to wring the shirt out first.
Did I mention YUCK?
Yall can cuddle up close to him and share earbuds if you want.
mac is about sharing your creativity with the ones you love. In this era of myspace and mmorpg's do we need a nother form of social interaction with no physical interaction. I still think that istations are a good idea. I would like to be in line at the store and see a girl listening to ipod, and i see her ilisten light on, so I check out her playlist, though this is a lot like myspace, at least you have the ability to walk over and say "hey ,i love your station. I see from your event list that the band (...) is playing this fri. would you like to go with me " Yes stalkers are inevitable, but this could be pretty cool.
