      <![CDATA[<p>My friend Nick is good at answering the questions I didn't even know I wanted to ask. For example, <a href="http://www.raquo.net/fine-structure/2009/03/electrons-per-song-on-an-ipod/">how many electrons per song on an iPod</a>?</p>

<blockquote>

<p>At approximately 4 minutes per song (Apple's average), we can play through 150 songs in 10 hours (far less than the 1000 song storage capacity), giving us approximately 1.09•10<sup>20</sup> electrons used per song.</p>

</blockquote>

<p>That's downright efficient compared to the piggish 160 gig iPod Classic, which weighs in at 850mA•h, 40h: 1.27•10<sup>21</sup> e / song.</p>]]>
