My wife wants a flash MP3 player... The Zune vs. Nano debate just got settled.

Let them know that you are not going to buy their products. I sent them a missive using “done@apple.com” as the return email address.

Guess you are perfectly satisfied with Bill Gate’s multi-million dollar contributions to Planned Parenthood (I should say Planned Infanticide), UN population control agencies (more abortion), euthanasia organizations etc. I would venture to guess the ole’ Bill has contributed to more murdered innocent human beings than just about anybody.

So you would choose the Zune over the Nano (Apple) because Apple has one little “news” ticker that makes up less than 5% of the screen that flashes that Al gore and UN Panel “honored” with Nobel - while Microsoft (and Bill Gates) openly supports every leftist cause with millions of dollars in support.

Enjoy your Zune (and all the troubles that have been reported.

Yes, well Zunes put DRM (anti-theft) technology on all of it’s songs that prevents the user from freely sharing their music. Well, it’s perfectly legal unless the artist has copyrighted their music under a creative commons license, which means the music is free to download and share as the user desires. Embedding this DRM metadata into a song that is copyrighted under a creative commons license violates the terms of this license, and is illegal. So Microsoft, while trying to stop other people from doing illegal things that violate copyright licenses, is doing illegal things that violate copyright licenses itself. That’s why I’m never getting a Zune, and telling everyone who’s thinking about getting one about this problem.
