Age old follow-up question. Who decides what anti-vaccine content is? Who is going to draw the fine line? How simple (i.e. black and white) is to make this distinction? Do you trust that person / entity making these decisions for you and your peers?

Neszeon Apple to discontinue iPod Nano and Shuffle

I'm sad. The Shuffle has been my best electronic device investment in terms of price/value. Solid and reliable with a neat design. Such a great product. Been washed out several times and using for 5 years still with its original battery.
