In its first year, then, the agreement will yield subscription revenues of less than $16 million. That’s not...

...let us salute the victor of the last war: the all-powerful Zune! Last Friday, the people united for a spontaneous demonstration in the streets of Redmond to symbolically lay the iPhone to rest. That corrupt, degenerate device simply cannot withstand the unstoppable assault of the Microsoft Kin- er, that is, Windows Phone 7, just as the pathetic iPod fell beneath the boot of the glorious Zune!Even the lowly 4GB Zune and its 8GB cousin proved more than a match for its so-called competitors. On its 1.8” screen, we can see the vision of a new world in the making! Perhaps...
