If Farhad does suffer from actual ADD and OCD, his article is nothing more that a bitchy diatribe about his own medically-diagnosed conditions and how a specific piece of technology doesn't fit his needs. That makes it his problem, not the i-pod's.
If Farhad does not actually have ADD and OCD, well then, fuck you, Farhad, because it's not funny to all the people who actually deal with ADD and OCD on a daily basis. Not funny at all.
And might I add that if Farhad has the money to be able to afford this expensive piece of technology and all the 'stuff' that goes with it, let alone the major bucks needed to accumulate that much music...and now he's written a 3-page piece complaining about having too much music...well, fuck you again, sir. That thousand dollars could have been much better spent. Try charity.
By the way, I don't own an i-pod. I'm lucky I still have a turntable, and grateful I own a CD player and that my computer will play mp3s. I'll be damned if I'm going to drop another thousand just so I can put in my earphones in public and essentially tell the rest of humanity I don't really care to interect with them.
