This from reader/Satan-worshipper David:
"Hey guys, I'm a worker at Staples-Business Depot in Canada , and we just started carying iPods. Funny little thing, in our inventory program, for every iPod the SKU starts with 666! For exapme the ipod Nano is 666 268. Coincidence? I think not. iPods must be from from hell."
Hmm. Did Jobs sign a deal with the Devil? Is this the real reason for the new red iPod Nano that was just launched? We can appreciate David's half-assed Photoshopping, but the Devil will not be happy that he didn't take the time to cut out the pentagram/draw it in blood.
Thanks David!

Since Bill Gates is the devil as well, we can infer that satan has a duality in his persona..
It wouldn't surprise me, the Apple II original price was $666.

uhh... how come I'm the only one with the compelling urge to make fun of this canadians supposed skills or lack there of within photoshop... I don't even think that's photoshop, looks like mspaint to me.
I see no cause to make fun of canadians HE prob made this on the fly.and thats that lets move on
That's the Apple I that was $666, Brain. The Apple II was twice as much, as it included such niceities as a case and a keyboard.
geek101s right no, its not photoshop job, its my attempt at one with MSPaint. lol did this at work so there wasnt a lot of time and/or resources. Gets the point across tho.
iPods are the devil. DRM, lack of quality control, AND apple greedily sues anyone who uses a touch wheel in their own devices until said other company doesn't have any money in the bank.
666 Isnt the real devils number.
rimplestultskin,
You aren't forced to use DRM'd files with the iPod and Apple sues people who rip them off just like every other company does.
Welcome to capitalism.
I'm a little disturbed and offended by the fact that someone used a symbol I use in my religion, (which by the way, doesn't even believe there IS a devil), to represent a Christian Belief!
Um, a right-side-up pentagram does not mean the same thing as the upside-down pentagram. The picture is wrong.
/isn't a "Satanist"
//just hates innacuracies
Convert to zune-ism to save your mp3 player soul, for the way of the apple is wrong.
Which companies have Apple sued into bankruptcy over the touch wheel?
hail satan.
Except the whole 666 thing being the devil's number was found to be a mistranslation.
The real number is 616, (supposedly, if you buy into all that religious mumbo jumbo anyway) and some monk or whatever fucked up the translation. Go do a google search on the subject.
Also, make sure you point and laugh at anyone who still thinks 666 is an evil number, because they are uninformed and stupid. Especially funny are those metal head morons or goff kid Satanists who got tattoos of the number.
Also, I second the note on the right side up pentagram vs an upside down one. Get your facts straight. What you put up there is a symbol of peace and love from Pagan/Wiccan/etc religions.
Must be a slow news day too, since Giz even bothered to post this. Anything to suck on the Apple teat a little more, huh boys?
Actually despite a fragment of text dicovered recently as 616, the early church fathers considered 616 and rejected it.
But the pentagram is upside down.
HEY! 666 is evil! I mean my friends call me an a-hole for a reason...
That's the whole story. No nano's exploding, no ipod's frying peoples computers. They just have 666 at the star tof the Sku. Wow, just Wow.
The world loves controversy, the more outrageous a claim, the more likely the hopelessly bored with life will believe it. I'm amazed that some bonehead didn't send this to me in an email chain letter before I read it here.
This sounds more like M$ backed fodder for the rumor mill so people will buy their lame-assed Zune, DRM bullshit, and their "points" system to pay for music and/or videos that expire after they've been played X number of times.
Me thinks M$ still doesn't know the difference between innovation and plagiarism...
aDuh, cmon, so because the church doesn't accept makes it not true? They also claim Jesus was white, that he never gave a gospel about how you don't need a church to worship god, and that using a condom and killing somebody are in the same catagory of bad.
There's a reason I fell away from the church. It's all that bent logic and hypocracy. It's a bunch of rich old guys in robes scared to death somebody looks behind the curtain and finds out it's all a bunch of lies made to uneducated peasants that somehow lasted through the great intelligence booms of all times.
This blog entry is a waste of space ... meaningless, pointless, and entirely a non-story. I suppose this guy thinks it's amazing when he receives exactly $4 in change on his Taco Bell order. Gizmodo, you can do better than post such nonsense.
I'm surprised no one has commented on the fact that a "business depot" would even be carrying iPods. Seems surreal to me.
Well, now I know why the service is so bad at Staples Business Depot.
Hey David: Quick mooning over the SKU's and get back to work!
