Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1859 Joined: 13 Feb 2008     | ipods. Everyone has them, especially in high school. No matter what my teachers said, half the class would sit there listening to music instead of paying attention. These were always the same kids who failed the finals, using the "you never taught us this" excuse. Funny, when the teacher was teaching you this, all you said was "when are we going to use this? This is bullshit! I'm not gonna learn this!" Dumbasses. |

I mean if someone leapt right up in your face and repeated "talk to me" quickly until you acknowledged them would be pretty annoying it's exactly the same with phones. smoke detectors...more specifically smoke detectors above the toaster. |

Muckraker  Posts: 301 Joined: 27 Aug 2008  | I have to agree on mobile phones. When technology becomes fashionable people lose the point. Technology is something we use to make life easier, not to become 'popular'. Who decided phones should be fashionable like clothing? It should be a bonus, not a deciding factor to buying a phone. Also, Mp3 Players in phones is something I hate, if only for the chavs at the back of the bus or in shopping centers blaring their annoying music out so everyone can hear it. |

Still, I will agree with anything Apple, especially the iPoop and iPhone... |

Muckraker  Posts: 260 Joined: 4 Jul 2008 | Erm something a bit more obvious machine that I find annoying is the gun. It's so annoying when people point them at you and start demanding you give them your own personal possessions. I think we'd be better off without them. |

I understand and concur. Their business practices always seemed a mite skeevy to me, and everyone who owns one of their products treats it like a cult icon from On High. I've used an iPhone. I've owned an iPod. They're not that special, and the gross price increase isn't worth the flashy logo and extra i. But the most annoying device would have to be smoke alarms. Necessary, yes, but I've never met one that didn't have a hair trigger that got set off by such terrible heat dangers as percolating coffee or Febreeze. If you want to live your life in peace, you have to negate their entire purpose for existing and take their batteries out. |

That's definitely not a machine by definition.

I guess, but then again, who pays for [Canadian] Medical stuff? Oh yeah, us, via taxes. I find most gadgetry (Pagers, Bluetooth, Those Holo-screen goggle things, portable DVD players, Wireless Headphones, iTems) quite useless when I could be a utilitarian with a 2 year old Cell phone that does the job perfectly. Not that I have one. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1929 Joined: 15 Jun 2008 | I'm not an Apple fan either. I hated the Mac vs PC ads (though it gave us the Marvel Vs DC spoof versions, which are hilarious.) |

What I mean is what type of device do you find the most frustrating? For me, its the mobile phone. (I did search this, but like 100 threads came up and I couldn't be bothered to check all of them out, so I just went it.)
