No Zunes? The Zunes are a pretty good buy, especially the old ones that work just as well as the 2nd gen.
The new ones are pretty great, and most people I hear have been raving about them. But of course, iPods and iPhones will always dominate these 'gift guides'. But I think Zunes pretty worthy enough to put up on one of these gift guides.
Though I can't help but notice 3 Apple items listed already...
@BigPana: Wow, you weren't kidding! He MUST work for micro$oft. Do they hire people just to post on blogs to promote their products? That would be a pretty sweet job actually...
Still use the "$" in place of an 'S'? Wow, like most companies don't make actually make a profit, do they?
I can ask the same for you. Does Apple pay many Apple fanboys to go around PC articles and suggest they 'buy a Mac'? Or are those jot cleverly designed bots? Because I find a LOT on the internet for a not so big community. It's like everytime somebody has this small PC problem, they immediately suggest a Mac. It's SO annoying.
FYI: Believe it or not, I actually use a Mac and a PC. It's true. There are things I like about OS X, and things I love about Vista. I actually have a life you know.
I was just pointing the # of Apple items, because as usual, they're dropped into these gift guides a lot, when there's obviously other things to consider.
Thye're are dropped in because they are the good products. You don't see engadget dropping the Apple TV on every list. If Engadget were really "bias" they wouldn't put the shuffle next to the zen.
Dude you're so painfully obvious...at least have different screen names...
I would consider myself a MS fanboy with an open mind. I mean I love vista, have my own 80GB zune (engraved of course), use windows mobile, and im writting this post in IE7. But come on...all this guys has ever posted about is how much he loves everything about microsoft! I mean EVERY single post of his is how Vista is Great on his sony (hehe...i have vista on my sony...and it sucks, vista only weeks magic on my 5K home built machine), Live Maps are better than google maps, MSN video is great...blah blah blah.
I have to agree with the other poster that this guy has to work for microsoft...and to be honest, its people like him that just ruin these sites.
Yeah, engadget is somewhat baised towards apple, but they do still report on the zune and all. People like michael should be banned from posting...just the same as apple only posters should be banned.
Overall, I prefer going to Vista, or Windows to be particular, over OS X, because I still kind of like the way it operates better. It's not uncommon.
@West Hubbard: Dude, I'm exactly the same here. I admit, I do get overboard with some of what I say, but you should really see how some Apple/other fans will say ANYTHING, even if it's not true, to make a point. At least what I say is considered true.
I really do think Vista works well on my Vaio. For real. I have several friends too with Vaio computers, and those who have Vista say it runs well. Maybe its just you. Users have different opinions. I think Live Maps does a bit better in the area of imagery than Gmaps, but I like Gmaps for other stuff as well. Personally, I don't really like MSN Video that much, it used to be good, but there's too many ads now. But there were some other things I liked about it too. So I'm a half n' half. Besides, its rather nosy to poke into peoples' comment streams. I mean, you must have a life, right? No offense, but there's better things to do than to check a commenter's comments.
@BigPana: Of course you've never heard of them, you have a strong dislike for all thing MS, while me, being open minded, knows a lot about whats available out there. I prefer that.
Ok, I think you got me all wrong. No, I do not work for MS. Same as most Apple fanboys, don't all work for Apple (though sometimes you have to wonder...), and all other fanboys aren't deeply affiliated at all with what they like. In fact, I'm quite sure MS employees don't even use all things MS. I read things across the blogosphere, and I know that. And I don't even consider myself a fanboy, I just simply post whatever I think I like is right.
And there's never anything at all I can find in my comments that is completely untrue. As far as I know, I state FACTS, and NOT lies. You can't say the same for others.
My point is, is that comment was meant to say that with the Zune winning many people over, I'm quite surprised that I really didn't see that on any of the guides, and I thought that was rather strange.So I just merely pointed that out. Sheesh, that's all my original message meant. So don't call me a shrill when I'm not.
what the...? only because he s pointing the finger on the many apple products? you've got to admitt, there ar pretty many of'em. shure enough i'm no win freak (nor an appleist) but still, i think it don't always has to be apple to be good
Sony's just released a 15.5-inch addition to its VAIO S Series that not only adds a crucial bit of extra display acreage, but also bumps things up to a full 1080p.

I love how he used "like" for MacOS and "love" for Vista
I agree there are much better things than Apple's, but Microsoft's are not these things...
Sweet Jesus!

All that said...I love my Zune! :D
Yeah it's so funny! Even programs I've NEVER heard of, I do a quick google search, and surprise, surprise, it's by Microsoft.
