Hey Tom,
Thanks so much for the write-up. One correction: You can no longer buy the iPod off my site. That auction was finished last March.
However, I did a second version (2G, for iPod fanatics) in Negativland's new show at Gigantic Art Space, and that's available on auction too. Read more at www.giganticartspace.com/current.html
Anyway, I'm not generally anti-Apple, though not excessively pro-Apple either. I think they're a big corporation that makes great products: I buy their stuff often, I admire their sense of design, and I expect them to do awful things from time to time, as corporations are designed to do. But I do like their design. I wouldn't have spent so much time copying it if I didn't admire it, too.
