I was halfway through writing a post about how I was frustrated that my iPod would *always* be playing when I went to listen to it around noon. Last night, I even switched on 'hold' to ensure that buttons wouldn't accidentaly get hit. However, I just realized that I had the 'alarm' set to on, therefore, the iPod would turn on and waste it's battery each and every single day. I just hope I haven't ruined the fragile li-ion battery thus far.
