Comments on: NBA gives iPod a technical foul

Headphones ain't in the dress code, basketball bigwigs say. There's a reason it's called a "uniform."

Why is this about iPod?

After reading the article, I found your "NBA gives iPod a technical foul" title to be somewhat misleading.

The ban was for any music device and it just so happens that Carter's was an iPod. Given the iPod's current popularity, I can't help but think that sometimes writers intentionally misuse such trademarks to lure in readers, when really, the product has little to do with the article's context.

Personally, I read CNET everyday, and don't think such tactics are trully necessary to bring me back to the site.

Just a thought.

Real Stories Please

Look guys, I like CNet, but what kind of journalism are you
practicing lately?!

Your headline of your article implied that there was an organized
effort to ban, or discourage the use of iPods, when in fact it
really had nothing to do with iPods.
