It seems the iPod Click Wheels have other worldly uses, or so an editor at CNET learned:

We asked Brad, “How did you die?” Our fingers slipped on the Click Wheel and transitioned to a different menu. Clearly Brad wanted to communicate with us using the medium of song. Our fingers scrolled slowly though the tracks, as it neared the ‘M’ section it slowed to almost a stop before settling, chillingly, on Murder Incorporated. This was a shock few of us were ready for — the ghost liked Bruce Springsteen.

We should ask the nearest iOuijaPod what it thinks about the Jotspot wiki service being bought by Google. Or what about the other acquisition du jour of the day, Reddit being gobbled by Wired?

Trickey wicky acquisition licky day. Are we having gun yet?
