Upon the cross, an iPod cleaves

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Scott Wilson invented the iBelieve --- an attachment that turns an iPod Shuffle into a cross that can be worn around your neck --- as a comment on how we worship consumer products. The iBelieve, he felt, was "a social commentary on the fastest growing religion on the planet" --- meaning iPod-mania.

Rather than take offense, however, Christians have embraced the new gizmo. He says he has been deluged with orders from people who wanted to buy one ($12.95, 10 percent of which goes to charity, at www.devoted1.com), as well as e-mails from churches and media.
