Top Ten Things Wrong With Zune
Blog Comment The real problem of the Zune is that there is nothing to get passionate about. The things that most people don't like about the ipod - DRM etc.are in fact multiplied by MS in the Zune. He was blissfully unaware of the 3 plays / 3 days limitation of...

Top Ten Things Wrong With Zune
Blog Comment You may not have noticed - or maybe you did - that Microsoft has invested a lot of money in promoting the Zune at a grass roots level - this has included paying bloggers to talk up the product and to respond to blogs like yours.

Blog Comment Ray - Sounds like you got a bad iPod. Apple is certainly capable of selling a lemon. Did you get it exchanged? And the music it wouldn't play, was it stuff that it should have played, or was there a data format it didn't manage?

Blog Comment I don't know if Zune Masterhood or similar programs include Jedi training in blog-to-blog fighting, nor - if they do - whether that includes a principle of disclosure. I'm impressed that a product that's quite so new in town has inspired such deep...

Blog Comment John - Our system can reveal various things about posters, but nothing too shocking. I hope that people choose to stick around and get known. Anonymous, aggressive posters do not make good advertisements for their points of view, and that's a shame.

Blog Comment Golly. Can't a chap make a joke around here? Anyway. Ballmer. He's the one who says that iPods are full of stolen music, and that Linux contains Microsoft IP. It's the other guy - wosname, Gates? who says that he learned how to code by dumpster...

Top Ten Things Wrong With Zune
Blog Comment There are a lot of odd little wrinkles about Zune. John - The Universal tax is particularly nasty - why on earth? And are the artists getting a cent? Ho ho ho. The idea that MS is going to build stuff around Linux is intriguing, but I'm not sure it...

Blog Comment It isn't actually a sober, reflective analysis of the Zune. If it cheers you up, you can see this post as a mickey-take on the over-the-top feeding frenzy going on elsewhere about the Zune. Hi, RayCT And I wasn't really angry.

MacBook Air Conditioning May Not Be So Cool
Blog Comment Actually i think Apple does the rest of us a favour by setting the standard: we all admire Apple's aesthetics and innovation, thus LG, SamSung, HTC, etc are pushed to come up with similar features (emulate as much as possible); look how many...

Blog Comment I have no association with the Zune or Xbox brands (I haven’t even _considered_ buying an Xbox). Rupert - I have no ‘relationship’ with Microsoft. I do have three Windows machines (two running XP Pro, one running Vista), but I also have two Macs...

Blog Comment Rupert? Also, Any chance that real people could respond as opposed to one hit wonders? How does your message system work - is there any way to ascertain if these people on the board are just the same person responding with different logins?

IPod Shuffle
Blog Comment I was watching a YouTube video of what was supposedly a look at Zune on CNN, that the new Shuffle completely stole. It is ridiculously cute. And I bet that the thought of doing something like that to launch at the same time as the larger producct...

Rupert Goodwins' Diary
Blog The Zune tribe of native Americans, on the other hand, lives up in Washington State on the Redmond reservation. There's the spirit of sharing, which Zune encourages by letting Zunies swap music over a built-in wireless network.

Microsoft Makes Hard Decisions Easier
Blog Comment Last time it happened was when I was critical of the Zune. Always a pleasure to see new faces, especially when they come along, like London busses, all at once, and with such unity of view. None of those correspondents stayed for any length of time...
