Google tells me that this is called "The sound of impending doom"

[cherry]

It appears that my iPod has been sneaking around behind my back, and cheating on me with gravity. It seems to have either taken a tumble on one of its adulterous romps, or it has contracted some sort of sexually transmitted (computer) infection, and will now do nothing but futilely grind its harddrive, and use its sad face () to express its contrition.

Or it was gremlins.

Oh dear.

When I got the sad iPod face, I recharged it for a night, then reformatted the whole thing and started again. But I was having battery issues, not a hard drive problem.

The thing is shaking almost as hard as my cell on vibrate -- and it is equally as loud. I used it this afternoon without any problem, and now my computer won't even recognize that it's plugged in (it just cries at me more, with its little eyes crossed out). I am quite perplexed, as I do not recall tumbling down the stairs in the library, or using it as a ball in an impromptu game of catch.


This is Very Inconvenient timing, as we are just moving into finals. Alas.
