In this time of global turmoil and one of the most hyped presidential elections in some time, the iPod Touch has come to the forefront of the current Clinton-Obama racial debate. Is this a mere “spellcheck” error or something much more sinister??? Apparently the market suspects the latter, as Apple stock has lost a massive 17% of its value since MLK Day this year.
Well shit, now I guess i have to go out and buy a stupid Zune when I upgrade next time. Thanks a lot Apple…

Whoops! How is a word that starts with ‘K’ the first suggestion for a word that starts with ‘M’?

Because “K” is right above “M” on the keyboard. This isn’t some bullshit T9 we’re talking about here, this is the genius mind that is predictive text, SON!!!
(also, this doesn’t happen on iPhone, which seems odd, since I would have thought the dictionary would be the same… Maybe whoever’s iPod touch this is uses the term “KKK” alot….)

Oh, shit. That is my bad. I thought this was a spell check thing I didn’t realize it was the predictive text.
