1. "the first DAP builder to make us sit through a minute of ads every time we try to sync with our computer is sure score the (oh, hey, thanks for the $100, Microsoft!) scorn and vitriol love and affection of its customers for years to come"
-This was never mentioned in the article, and was introduced to basically give Zune haters ammunition (albeit, empty ammunition), and leaves the feeling that this is actually intentional. I'm sure i wont have enough fingers to count the number of times the commenter's here will take that and actually assume its going to happen, thus it shouldn't be introduced, if only to spread false information.

-If you read the actual article, this is referring to a company like "Doritos" sponsoring a particular event, such as a music festival or contest. By subscribing to being a friend of this event (created by Doritos), you would get free music paid for by that company. The company basically paid for the music for the opportunity to advertise. Seems legitimate to me.
This is absolutely wretched reporting. I enjoy Engadget, but quite frankly, it is becoming like Fox News with its reporting on anything related to Zune (or Microsoft for that matter). Unfair and Biased.
