So, apparently, in the near future, you will get ADS on your Zune. How about that? Now when you want to listen to Rod Stewart, an ad for Viagra will pop up!

If anything turns me off to any software or online service, it is an endorsement my Microlame. ;-)

Is there nowhere safe from advertisements?

They must be trying to push users to the iPod.

I have one of those Zunes, and although a handy little device, I am very fed up with the software. I spent 4 months trying to iron out the glitches that came in association with the first update. When the second was advertised recently by email, I got rid of it. I have been taught on Microsoft products, but I have come to discover that Microsoft's products are "all aesthetics, no functionality". A friend of mine just got Apple's Video IPod with 80gigs of space. It is smaller and more effective that my Zune.

I am not so sure Microsoft can afford to put this software in new Zunes. The processors might melt down.

What a great way to drive down sales.

I have a 30GB zune but have never bought a song from the zune marketplace. Or from any site for that matter.

Obsess much mr Jobs? Nothing in your story says it is mandatory nor harmful, sounds like a good use of a function that is under utilized right now anyways. But go on and obsess some more.

Provided the user does well at the game, they earn a coupon for a free bag of Doritos chips, with map directions to nearby stores that sell the chips.

Satire, right? This is a joke, right? Right? I'm laughing. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Stop it. You're killing me.
