<title>Meet the iPod Doctor: He makes house calls</title>
<link>http://money.cnn.com/rssclick/2008/06/24/technology/ipod_repairman.fortune/index.htm?section=money_news_funny</link>
<description>Ramon Reyes had a problem. He could only get sound from one channel on his iPod video player. At first, he thought his ear-buds were busted. But he replaced them with a pricey new pair made by Sony, and it didn't make any difference.</description>

<title>Apple and Eve</title>
<link>http://money.cnn.com/rssclick/2008/05/09/technology/siklos_walle.fortune/index.htm?section=money_news_funny</link>
<description>In Pixar Films' upcoming animation epic, "Wall-E," the title character is a cute but clunky robot whose centuries of solitude on an abandoned Earth is broken by the arrival of a svelte, futuristic robot named Eve - who is so white, gleaming, and well, pod-like, that she looks like she was born in Apple's design room. It turns out that she was - sort of: Eve marks the first design collaboration within Steve Jobs' culture-shaping Apple-Pixar-Disney axis. (Jobs sold Pixar to Disney and is Disney's largest shareholder as well as the CEO of Apple.)</description>

<description>Tom and Ray Magliozzi are not what you'd call an overnight success story. The two MIT-educated car mechanics first started offering car repair advice over the air on a local Boston station in 1977. A decade elapsed before National Public Radio picked the show up and distributed it on its national network. Since then Car Talk has gone on to become the most highly-rated and financially-successful program on public radio.</description>

<link>http://money.cnn.com/rssclick/2008/03/17/news/economy/ncaa.fortune/index.htm?section=money_news_funny</link>
<description>Dear Annie: I hope you don't think this is a dumb problem, but here goes: I recently got promoted to head of my department, after about four years with the company, and I love the job. Just one thing is making me a little uneasy, and that is the annual craziness that goes on here during "March Madness," the NCAA basketball championships.</description>

<description>I am not a player. I work hard for my money, and I can't stand to lose it. I don't even enjoy poker, because to play you need a certain attitude, so you can say, "Hey, I lost $200 but it was a fun evening, so it was worth it." When I lose, I say to myself, "Schmuck. You lost."</description>
