The Tiniest iPod Is Your Deal of the Day

Apr 08, 7:00PM

The iPod Shuffle isn't like other iPods that Apple sells. It has no screen, it has no Lightning connector, and it's tiny. It finds its raison d'ĂȘtre through subtraction, not addition. That's good design. Because there's no screen, battery life is excellent and it's nearly indestructible. Gym rats adore it. Sure, there's a pretty small iPod Nano for $100 more that comes with Nike+, an FM radio, and a full color screen, but you lose out on the unadorned simplicity of the iPod Shuffle. More »

After chemically analyzing several dozen patent medicines from around the dawn of the 20th century, chemist Mark Benvenuto found that many of these completely unfounded "miracle cures" contained toxins such as lead, mercury, and even arsenic.

The results, of course, sound terrible. More »
