It&#8217;s a big deal for me because the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lightfantastic.org\/imr\/extras\/videoblog\/archives\/2007\/02\/apple_store_kah.html\">Cult of Apple<\/a> disturbs me.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a target market for Apple products. In fact, Apple marketing efforts tend to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvwhore.org\/entry\/2939\/\">alienate me<\/a>, and the breathless, unquestioned awe Apple fans have about the company&#8217;s products creeps me out. And the iTunes Music Store? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.musicwhore.org\/entry\/2966\/\">Dead to me<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I was considering using the criteria <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unicom.com\/chrome\/\">chip<\/a> used to purchase <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unicom.com\/chrome\/a\/001247.html\">his MP3 player<\/a> &#8212; and given my laziness, I probably would have just bought that same model &#8212; but I wasn&#8217;t interested features.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted something cheap to take with me on the approximately 9-hour flights to and from Honolulu in April. I thought about an iPod Shuffle, but the lack of an interface would have driven me crazy on the plane. So I went with the cheapest Nano available (2GB Silver). What can I say? The ease of use won me over, and it supports UTF-8, which I like for all those pesky Japanese files I have.<\/p>\n<p>It came in handy yesterday. Every time I bring my car in for servicing, I know I&#8217;m going to spend half the day at the dealership. So I bring books to read while I wait. It took five hours for this particular visit because I was getting my air conditioning recharged and the engine belt replaced. The only way I stayed sane was by listening to Shiina Ringo on the Nano.<\/p>\n<p>Given the amount of Shiina Ringo on the player at the moment, I figured I should change the default name to <acronym title=\"Ringo-chan\">\u6797\u6a8e\u3061\u3083\u3093<\/acronym>. <acronym title=\"ringo\">\u6797\u6a8e<\/acronym> means &quot;apple&quot; in Japanese.<\/p>\n<p>The Nano came with a pair of Apple logo stickers. The only apple branding I want to stick on anything is this one: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toshiba-emi.co.jp\/vmc\/artist\/domestic\/ringo\/tobf5030.php\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gregbueno.com\/images\/extras\/shiina_ringo_seiteki_healing_v2_apple.jpg\" alt=\"[\u690e\u540d\u6797\u6a8e\u3000\u6027\u7684\u30d2\u30fc\u30ea\u30f3\u30b0]\" title=\"[\u690e\u540d\u6797\u6a8e\u3000\u6027\u7684\u30d2\u30fc\u30ea\u30f3\u30b0]\" width=\"45\" height=\"45\" border=\"0\" style=\"vertical-align: top\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Given the amount of Shiina Ringo on the player at the moment, I figured I should change the default name to <acronym title=\"Ringo-chan\">\u6797\u6a8e\u3061\u3083\u3093<\/acronym>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-vital-signs"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/s4Bkjq-post_3","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/sakufu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/sakufu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/sakufu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/sakufu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/sakufu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=200"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/sakufu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/sakufu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/sakufu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/sakufu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
