FreshPrince,
Dude, you're beat. Just capitulate and go on with your life.
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.
<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>
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.
Way to compare apples to refridgerators :roll: but on that point...
You point proves this one as well. Your pocket is not shaped like a cube, it is flat. Therefore you'd rather have a flat player like the dimensions of the shuffle rather than a bulky cube.
Gonna work out? Let me strap this stupid cube to my arm. :roll:
ok stop, did I say the new shuffle is shaped badly for workouts? no, in fact, I said I may get one. yes, I get it fits better in a pocket, but in my view, it's still not the smallest because it doesn't fit everywhere. in order to be the smallest, in my mind, it would have to be able to fit into anywhere the 2nd smallest player can and even smaller spaces. That in my definition, is the smallest.
will the cube fit in a 2"x1.5"x.5" box?
nope
will the shuffle
yep
the cube will not fit anywhere the ipod can fit therefore by your own definition than the cube is not smaller
