Just a few nitpicky things.

• It's Mac, not MAC
• It's iPod, not IPOD, IPod, I-Pod, or Eye-Pod (yes, I've seen that last one)
• It's Microsoft, not Micro$oft, or Microsh*t
• ‘It's’ means “it is,” ‘its’ indicates posession
• Excessive ellipses doesn't make you sound smart ... it makes you sound like you ... can't ... finish ... a thought ....
• Expressing emotion in just seventeen syllables is diffic

I'm not perfect at English by any stretch of the imagination, but I really grate my teeth whenever I see those problems (well, except for the haiku, which is a poem instead of a grammatical or spelling error. I just stuck that in there for some reason.)
