The iPod Death Clock

As we've reported before, it's often possible to fight planned obsolescence and resurrect your dead or dying iPod without bowing to the man by simply buying a new one. Putting a more morbid twist on the issue is the iPod Death Clock—enter in your serial number, answer a few quick questions, and get an estimate on how much time's left until your iPod's funeral, ticking down before your eyes! They'll also give you a link to add your funeral date to Google Calendar, an estimate on your battery's current capacity, and of course some handy links to purchase some replacement parts from their well-appointed shop.

As you can see, PopSci web assistant Abby's relatively new 5G 'pod only has a little over a year left to live. O mortality, does nothing escape your ever-present gaze?   —John Mahoney

I think that this clock is a really good idea to have in your bedroom, because if suddenly someone you don't know is trying to threten you that you would have a knife with you at all times just to make you feel safer!!!!

Actually I never thought this could have happened to ipod. My friends told me before, but I never took it seriously. After reading articles related to this subject, this has somehow changed my perception. I hope this is not true.
