Microsoft’s Zune MP3 Player
Zune “Big, Chunky, Blocky, Rushed, Incomplete, Barren, Derivative”: “Seriously, do you want your stuff being sold as ‘good for you in the long run?’ That’s the way you sell cod liver oil, not a digital music player.”
Microsoft Dances to Universal Music’s Shakedown Tune; Will Pay Uni a Buck a Zune: “I woke up to some sad news today: Microsoft, once the most feared company in the world, is a total wuss.”
Apple
Apple Ditching the Mac, Keeping the PC: “No, Apple’s not licensing Mac OS X to Dell, they’re getting rid of the ‘Mac guy’ in their commercials.”
MacBooks Now Sport Intel Core 2 Duo: “So, faster, more RAM, more storage. Not a bad incremental update.”
