  IPod yocto - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The iPod yocto is Apple's 1,337th digital audio player this year.
: the yocto uses a new "screen" (possibly a play on "yoctoscreen") to project the song that the iPod is playing onto any of the 120 compatible iBillboards that have been constructed across the world.
When combined with enough Yoctos, the giant iPod suit can be worn as armour, proven to be able to absorb shorts from even the strongest of day-old kittens, and withstand temperatures up to, not including, 24 degrees celsius.

It's just that I heard the terms "zetta" and "yotta" proposed last year for the upper end, not the negatives (I believe the discussion was about ultra high end storage systems and how to describe their capacity).

For such a lightweight shoe, the Yocto is surprisingly comfortable, and it's gripper sole provides excellent traction on wet pavement.
