Duh!

So I've done it more than once. You hook your iPod up to the wrong computer and wipe the library. When Dave Winer does it somehow it's Apple's problem. What it really is has to do with the way Dave migrated from one computer to the other. Plug an iPod into a foreign computer and it won't do a thing until you answer if you want it to. Plug it into your computer where you've previously set it up to sync, even though you took away the music library, and it will do just what you say. Only there won't be any music to load on to it. What would you like Dave? A mind reader iPod. So would we all.... I'd like it to tell me what I want to listen to in a few hours and purchase it too.... And while we're at it why doesn't the iPod Cyborg interface work to have my iPod cook dinner too?

Of course, the only reason iPods do that is to make moving music from one computer to another difficult—yet another DRM method that is user hostile. Sure, you get used to it and learn not to do it, but it's still a pain. Now, that doesn't mean Dave Winer has to blame Apple. He should really blame the record industry. :)
