Apple disclosed total iPod sales volumes to date, revealing that over 100 Million units have been sold since the little white music player that changed the world was first launched.

Apple today announced that the 100 millionth iPod® has been sold, making the iPod the fastest selling music player in history. The first iPod was sold five and a half years ago, in November 2001, and since then Apple has introduced more than 10 new iPod models, including five generations of iPod, two generations of iPod mini, two generations of iPod nano and two generations of iPod shuffle. Along with iTunes® and the iTunes online music store, the iPod has transformed how tens of millions of music lovers acquire, manage and listen to their music.

Congratulations Apple.

Next month is my birthday, so what better way to celebrate than by sticking it to the man. The "man" in this case being the overlords of the colluded music industry that rape consumers with every CD purchase. This March, send these greedy bastards a message by boycotting all legal music consumption, or better yet select only independent artists for your listening experience. Screw the big labels.
