The Village Voice: NY Mirror: New York Seen: iPod, Annotated by Laura Conaway

Sometime last week--Wednesday night, maybe--an anonymous scribbler took a marker to a block-long row of iPod posters, adding a penetrating spin on Apple's pitch for '10,000 songs in your pocket.' People walking by on Thursday slowed to consider the dozens of new messages stretching down the east side of Lafayette, from Great Jones to Bond: The 'i' in iPod 'stands for isolation,' the writer had scrawled above one silhouette of that annoying lone figure dancing. 'The 'i' stands for insecure,' for 'irrational,' for 'inibriated' and 'inebriated.'
...
