Life as a Rocky Road Tester I am no lab tester, am not that technical. I am no road tester, am not that thorough, what I am is a Rocky Road tester..a thingamajig tinkerer, a gadget drooler and a clumsy technology torturer. I call myself such because of a recent incident err accident with my i-pod which I then called the Nina Nano but should now be rechristened the Iscream Ipod. Poor guy, it's now at the Apple Center recuperating because I left a blob of ice cream to melt at the wheel.. (Backstory : I have this wonderful sofa cum office furniture where I do most of my work.. Most of the time it allows me to do my thing, sitting me as ergonomically possible with my bad back and letter "C" (my mom's description of my posture,) during workmode, converting into a dining hall during "lunch" and "dinner" (these are moveable but non-optional breaks -- can be combined as "brunchiners"), cradle me as I watch TV, sit me comfortably as I do my endless chatting. During one of my workathon mode where, work-leisure-sustainance were one continuous movement, the accident happened. I didn't notice my mistake until it was pack up time at around 1 am. I was clearing my sofa for dishes, papers, phones, etc. fixing my stuff and behold, my black silicon case became brown, soaked in chocolate. I just wiped it with tissue and it still worked actually.. So I thought everything was a-ok.. But when I had to charge after a day.. It wouldn't respond anymore. Not charging.. So its goodbye to my near perfect (Nina-specific) playlist. Tried reformatting, rebooting and changing SWs… :( Verdict : Iscream ipod is not ice cream resistant. This is not my first time to do a rocky road test.. : 1. Motorola phones (this is before the brand became cool for GSM cellphones VX3 Razr (funny I need to describe it as GSM, it made its first cool carnation as startac -- when non GSM phones where called analog) can withstand lugao swimming for 15 secs. Provided you have to dip it again in water and blow dry it like crazy. 2. Nokia phones cannot withstand toilet water (this test done by a band lead singer I know.) or she declared her unit dead because she can't take to put her unit back near her face if somebody calls her.
