I like Apple's products a lot and generally trust them as a company, but I'm sure as hell not going to invest a lot of money in DRM'd music (I have maybe $30 worth). Just hedging my bets until something better comes along.]]>Aug 15th 2008 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/Aug 15th 2008 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/

From the twisted sentence you constructed, you make it sound like everything Dell sells is extremely expensive.

It's quite the opposite in reality.

Dell products are usually MUCH less expensive than Apple's in terms of normal everyday products.

Steve Jobs told Bucher: "People sometimes think you are manic-depressive...I'm not sure what I am going to do, but I think I am going to have to ask you to leave the company." After he was sent home, Apple's HR director suggested that Bucher seek psychiatric help.

And this is the guy who's going to take on the iPod's market dominance? You know, people seem to be making a big deal that Bucher used to work for Apple, but nobody seems to be mentioning the fact that he was fired from Apple because of excessive complaints about his manic depression.]]>Aug 15th 2008 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/Aug 15th 2008 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/Aug 15th 2008 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/Aug 15th 2008 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/
Great, not only has the Apple Attack Crew pulling their usual hatchet job on anything that may harm their precious little company, they are now resorting to personal smears.

No, he left "voluntarily" but only because the then CEO made his job suck until the point that he went without actually having to fire him. This seems to be a fairly normal but nasty practice in business to remove people you don't want without having to pay them redundancy money.]]>Aug 16th 2008 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/

ok, a lil off subject but did anyone see colbert the other night?
hehe
he found out that the iphone had a kill switch, so he thought his iphone was going to kill him.

"luckily" he said "i switched to zune, it cant kill me, or do anything else"

Yeah, that's real funny. How many hacks did it take to put that joke together.

iTunes on the Mac has essentially zero of the issues iTunes for Windows does. It's fast, fast, fast, and super clean and slick. The only complaint I could see having about the way it works on the Mac is if you simply don't like the interface or how it categorizes your music or something.]]>Aug 15th 2008 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/Aug 16th 2008 2:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/Aug 17th 2008 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/Aug 15th 2008 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/Aug 15th 2008 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/

Aside from the obviously disgraceful language, you are quite wrong. How technology looks is just as important, if not more so, to males than it is to females. That it is not important to you is wonderful and all, but you are not representative of the market.]]>Aug 16th 2008 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/
It seems like as soon as everyone finally realized it wasn't just the iPod that people were flocking to but the whole "ecosystem" of iTunes intergration they've been taking pot shots at that too. The problem is they have just been pot shots. Zune never really caught on, Best Buy's collaboration didn't really catch on, maybe if Dell really can create a whole new one and get all of the other players to jump on board they might have a shot but its going to have to be an all or nothing type thing. Just one hold out (zune anyone...) and to the average consumer its still going to be just as confusing as the plays for sure was. Unless it gets to a point where you go into a store and its as simple as Mac vs PC for DMP I don't see it being any different then any of the other systems that have tried to take on apple.]]>Aug 15th 2008 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/
