Yup.

 

I was actually thinking of buying a Classic right before it went.

 

I'm sad about the iPod classic. The only worthwhile product Apple ever made imo.

The best of Apple. If Jobs were still with us, it would still be selling.

Sig under construction.

iPod classic is a shame to lose, as is Macworld to a degree, although I never took too much interest in it. The rest can all go burn, do was good while it lasted but there are bigger and better things around now.

You can still poke people just the same on facebook

 

Justin.tv is just twitch now

 

I own an ipod classic so yeah

 

When a huge portion of the market stops using XP then it'll be lost

 

Flappy bird is farrr from dead in that thousands of phones have it installed and there are hundreds of clones

I still have my classic iPod. I use it when I have a long flights as my iPhone does not contain any music apart from spotify.

The output quality is remarkable compared to the garbage in today's phones.

The PSP was also discontinued. It came and went with nobody noticing.

If it counts for anything, Silk Road was also shut down.

Silk Road isn't that much of a lose unless you're a criminal.

The iPod classic shouldn't have died. They should put a 120 GB SSD in the iPod touch... and the iPhone... and actually there's no reason that any mobile device should not have 120GB internal SSD storage as a minimum, regardless of whether it can also use external SDs.

I feel sorry for anyone who bought Nokia X2. It got cancelled 1 month later.

The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

MSN and XP were great things, when it were the top of the line, but it surely isn't anymore, and MSN has been so outdated and not used anymore, that it made no sense to keep it.

Wont miss any apple related products.

MSN messenger represent all of my teenage years. It was great, sometimes much better than Skype and wasn't as buggy.
