Good Humored Rant

Am I the only one who is bothered by the term "podcast?"

I listen to MP3 files, an open standard. Not "podfiles." I don't own a "pod" anything. For that matter, I don't own an "i" anything. My personal experience with Mr. Jobs' products consists of having them reliably crash in the middle of mission-critical operations like live broadcast multitrack recordings.

I guess that the term is here to stay, but I don't gotta like it, no sir.

Feh, says i-mon.
