Size is measured by volume. It's this way with everything from cars, to houses, to washing machines, to refrigerators.

And no, I don't own an iPod nor am I an Apple fan... I just know when someone is owned. And right now you've not only been owned, you continue to own yourself.

no, size is measure by dimension. why? because we want to know if it will actually FIT into something. wider cars - can't fit into a narrow garrage. a wide ranch house can't fit into a smaller space that a narrow 2 story house can. taller regridgerators can't fit into shorter spaces, but it may be thinner in depth and smaller in volume. That is how everything that has to do with size works. volume means nothing, how the product fits into everyday use is key.

I accept that the shuffle will fit much more comfortably in jeans, but it's still not smaller when you want to store it somewhere.

I have not been owned.


You have got to be the most clueless poster I have ever seen..............

when somebody says "smallest" they mean the one with less volume. now if apple had said, "smallest widthxLength" that is something different. nobody would say that other than making a point about fitting in a certain spot like your **** or something like that.

And you just owned yourself again. Size is measured by ALL THREE DIMENSIONS. And what do you derive from all 3 dimensions? Volume.

Store it where? Whether you're stuffing them in a pocket or stacking them on a shelf, it's smaller.

Really? Is this why the volume of the car is measured when it's placed in a class (compact, midsize, fullsize)? Is this why volume is used to sell homes, and not "footprints?" Next time you buy a fridge, look at how it's classed (by cubic feet).

Footprint is a specific measurement for specific uses. It is NOT the general measurement used to class something.

And finally, volume means EVERYTHING when it comes to storage. The Shuffle will take up less VOLUME in my drawer or a box, and therefore is still smaller. Storage is not two dimensinal... even if your thinking is.

and size is not ultimately 3 dimensional, even if you think it is...

if it does not fit, it does not fit. you can't try to cram it in...well you can, but you will most likely break it.

And how do you define if it fits or not. How about this, based on all 3 dimensions!

<billymadison>Mr. FreshPrice, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.</billymadison>

He probably tried to cram the new Shuffle in his ass lengthwise and 1.5"+ was too uncomfortable for him. The cube's 0.92" was just right.

yes, I'm the moron based on total volume.

Let's say you move into a new house and this weekend your wife charges you with purchasing a new fridge. you measure the dimensions of the "volume" space where you want to put it. It is 3' wide, 5' tall, and 3' deep. So based on your "logic", you say I need to get a fridge that is less than 45' cubic. Now, you go to the store and measure a fridge that is 3' wide, 6' tall, and 2' deep which equals 36' cubic and you immediately buy it because it is smaller than 45' cubic. the store delivers it and your wife kicks your ass because the new fridge is obviously too tall. your answer will be "but but but, it has a smaller volume, therefore it's smaller?" You also point her to this thread and proceed to "own" her and tell her that she's wrong, the new fridge is "smaller" than the space and it should fit. right?

wrong! I'm not owned.

That means you have a tooth pick.
