You have to admit it's kind of hilarious. Okay. Not really. See here. Some dude working at an airport had a Nano in his pants pocket and it burst into flames. Three bits of good news here. One, he didn't get hurt. Two, he's getting a new Nano, totally free, and we're not even going to pro-rate it for all the wear and tear he put on the unit, which by the way probably caused the fire. Three, he got to be famous for a couple days. Highlight of his life, right? Plus we get loads of free publicity for being so nice to our customers. Yeah, we're coming out of this smelling like a rose.

If the iPod was in his pocket, why was the docking cable connected to it?
I just had a Mac Book Pro explode in my pocket. You mind sending a new one? Thanks
SteveO,
Damn it.
You just know that this bozo is going to ask for 10 gazillion $ and too boot, a new iPod.
Fuck give him the money but no new pod.
He probably is a terrorist and was trying to see if he could get his match head filled pod into the airport beyond screeners.
He said the flames were all the way up to his chest?
What degree of burn did he get?
Friggin wusstard.
oooh, oooh my iPod caught on fire. I want money and I want to be rich cause I'm a terrorist in training. LOL
JK
Have a Great weekend all
Imagine all those HOT chicks wearing iPods. Double-Trouble. Big danger.
Better to have a Nano set your pants on fire than let a Zune leave you as impotent as a one-armed TSA screener, no?
And why are these things always happening in airports? Did the Nano hold a press conference and proclaim its non-gayness?
It reminds me of something like this --

Rest in peace sweet Nano, your short time on earth was well appreciated. Without you, 'songs in my pocket' was merely a dream.
Liar, liar, pants on fire
I hope that a battery fire problem isn't endemic to the Nanos. You can bet that regardless of the cause, the Apple SlamBoys will be hollering about this hot music incident.
A news about hotpants?
Problem: Nano nearly kills man
Solution: Give man another Nano
Loved the line where he said if the TSA saw him, he might have been seen as a terrorist. But man, to catch on fire, it not like I don't already worry about my computer doing that....
i gots me a nano in my pants as well. but it aint no hell raiser or barn burner. but i may get something from the spammers to grow it into a iPod Touch me ... oh baby yeah
The fact that the man's pants were clearly on fire, coupled with the known syllogism, leads me to believe that he may actually be a liar liar.
Also his iPod looks like he laminated it.
dell must be behind this
No Fake Steve, you were right the first time, that is really bloody funny
Ah Stevie, what's an Airpot? - "Some dude working at an airpot.."
Now I know that you did more than your share of Cannabis and the "magic chemical" in the days of Daisys and Peace .. but are you planning a Fly-in center for Pot too?

So, like "smoke 'em if you got 'em?"
a burnt rose...
Somebody please come up with a good "Hey, is that a flaming Nano in your pocket or are you just glad to see me" joke.
"I'm still kind of freaked out that after only a year and a half my iPod caught fire in my pocket," said Williams.
Apparently it would be acceptable for an iPod to burst into flames after a certain amount of time. I wonder what the line is. One and a half years is unacceptable, but, eh, after owning something for 3 years, it's allowed to spontaneously burst into flames?
He must have been thinking of spending his iCash.
New Rule: No more iPod Nanos in the airport, if you want to take one on a trip, you must place it in checked luggage. Otherwise the TSA will confisgate it. Same goes for your pants.
You know what? It burst into flames 'cause he didn't know how to treat a work of art responsibly.
Do NOT give him a new one.
Send him a Zune- I hear they're cheap.
Peace out. I mean it.
Yes, I think Michael Dell had something to do with this. Wait, I AM Michael Dell. Never mind.
>> If the iPod was in his pocket, why was the docking cable connected to it?
My thoughts exactly. And his Mom phone it in too. She probably got all confused about the 'lectrons leaking out or she's on of the crap disturbing old hags. Poor guy. :(
I cannot fathom that Atlants TSA passed up this dangerous terrorist on fire. That burnt pocket smell must have been a real treat.
Did you watch the video that was with the article? It saids Apple is refusing to speak about it, which is pretty odd. If you want to be known to have excellent customer service, you should also be able to be honest, too.
coulda been worse...he could have had something i make..if it blewup or burst into flames it would have been working properly. i would have personally hired him for my r&d dept...no death benefits though...
So this guy works at the ticket counter? And he has an iPod? So I'm to believe that a ticket agent has enough time on his hands at one of the nations busiest, if the busiest, airport to listen to his iPod?
Correction, Wikipedia says it's the world's busiest airport. And what airline does he work for that allows ticket agents to listen to music while working? Some of them don't even allow you to drink water at the counter. Thank god I never have to see him, US Air doesn't have a hub there.
Oh, and Steve, this could have been an added feature to give to the hacked iPhones during the recent update. Instead of an iBrick, they would have had an...
iBriquette
Is that an exploding nano in your pocket or are you just happy to see.... oh, nevermind, too easy.
Meateater Meateater
(If cows spontaneously combusted we'd have free barbeques...Hmm...)
Dude,
The guy probably put Linux on his nano and the device simply just freaked out at the mere thought of it and executed that spontaneous device combustion routine you've got hidden in there!
Restore my ass! Serves him right.
Stupid Freetards! When will they ever learn! Can't you come up with an update to brick nanos and stop this nonsense? I think it needs to be done, and soon too, before other people start thinking loading Linux on their iPods is actually a good idea and then they'll all start wanting to sue you, just like those ungrateful iPhone malcontents and their silly third party apps.
Have they no clue? No conception? No understanding of what it means to create art?
Namaste, FSJ. I honor the place where his Levis and his Britney Spears MP3s become one with your bottom line.
Did the guy urinate in his pants and short the iPod?
"Namaste, FSJ. I honor the place where his Levis and his Britney Spears MP3s become one with your bottom line."
...Any more combustion and the iPod would have become one with *his* bottom line...
he probably lit it on fire himself to try to get a newer model, perhaps a free iPhone.
Hi Nice Blog .If you fast forward through your play list, ipod replacement battery will need to fill its cache more frequently, thus accessing the hard drive more often and using more power. This will decrease overall battery life.
