IPod Snobs Unite

Regarding IPod Users Go Into the Closet, a story about iPod users loathe to wear the white earbuds, reporter Wil Harris points to a similar story he wrote for the Enquirer back in January.

Bearing the classic headline, "Every city ponce+dog is well teched up," the story says:

"The days of the techno-aristocracy are dwindling, and doesn't that just right royally piss you off?

Allow me to cite, as an example, technology close to my heart. Literally. My blessed iPod travels in my jacket pocket wherever I go, with its tell-tale earphones a distinctive marker in my carefully-chosen suburban-chic outfit. They scream to all lookers - 'Look at me! I have an iPod!' Except that that once unsurmountable cachet has been substantially eroded as of late."
