i'm pretty sure we have sales taxes, or 'moms' as we call it, but's it's almost always included in the price(not always online), and if it's not, it usually says so. We're too lazy to do math.  |

Yeah, Eric, America is a country of liars and thieves, why would we include the sales tax in the listed price of an item?  But seriously, yeah, America doesn't include sales tax in the price. You find that out at checkout. It's like a surprise gift that depresses you. As far as advertising goes, advertisers like round numbers - 3.6 GB just doesn't have the same ring as 4GB, y'know? |

We have tax included in the price of the item in the UK. So if something has £10 on it, that is how much it costs at the till. It took me ages to do any shopping in the States when I was there as I had to work out the tax on everything with my little calculator and cribnote  |

Like how you never have to think about it until you come here because you're so used to it just being included in the price. Oh culture. You are such a wacky concept.  |

I replaced my 2nd gen nano with a touch a few months ago. My nano battery would only stay charged for an hour at a time. It was so annoying I would get to the gyn and it would be dead before my workout was even in full swing!

My iPod is a 120gb Classic. For some reason on a lot of my songs (it's always the same songs, it's not a random thing) it will just skip through them and not play them. I don't think it's the files because they play just fine on my computer and I've had those same files play through my iPod previously. Does anyone know what the issue might be here?
