Surely calling Apple 'Arrogant' for sticking with the white ear-buds (which were designed to match the white iPod) rather than making them black (or some other common user-conceived colour) is like saying Nokia should vary the shape of a mobile phone because it is too distinctive and encourages theft!!

(Ed note. We weren't criticising Apple for sticking with white ear-buds. We were criticising Apple for saying people would "rather be robbed than wear something less stylish". The two are very different.)

What planet are you from?

Why not also tell Jaguar to develop a cloaking-device so people can't see the shape and thus try to steal it!!

Choice is choice, but name-calling is a bit desperate, eh?
