    It’s not true. First, the Ipod full of music stores the same amount of information than the empty one. Any memory is the same. It’s full because it is according to the standard used to store information, But the memory is there storing all zeros or whatever noise or old content it had before.

    They probably were thinking about the battery. It is said that a loaded battery weights more than a depleted one. But even then, it’s not true. The battery circulates electrons and the current is the same going in than going out. Although it’s possible to create an unbalance, it’s only a couple electrons and it has nothing to do with the load condition. It happens anytime.

    The worst part is that, even if it’s true, it would be for anything with a memory or a battery. It’s not a special power of the Ipod. The Ipod is just an overpriced gadget.

    A full iPod is a very empty pocket and bank account.

    A full battery would definitely way more than an empty one. Not much mind you. Just as a stretched rubber band ways more than an unstretched one.

    @gmartin997 — Right off the bat, I came up with one guy that Indy killed. That guard that he had a fist fight with. But I bet your argument is that he wasn’t observant enough to pay attention to the propeller….

    If the US NAVY had their way back in 1933, it would be called the Gaudy Gate Bridge.

    that i-pod thing reminds me of an old Dilbert strip where the pointy haired boss complained about his laptop being too heavy and Dilbert suggested deleting some files in it to decrease the weight.

    As it’s been mentioned, an iPod full of songs will weight just the same as an empty one. They’ve probably checked a site such as http://newslite.tv/2009/04/01/ipods-get-heavier-with-more-mu.html . It’s an April’s fool’s hoax, as it clearly says on the bottom of the page…
