A new way to look at Microsoft Zune
In: Technology
16 Sep 2009If you read my blog, you probably already know I am a big fan of Microsoft’s Zune. As disheartened as I am when people haven’t heard about it, I get even more frustrated when people don’t get it, and give Zune and the ZunePass subscription a bad rap without even understanding it. I am going [...]

iTunes, let go of my computer please…
In: Music
23 Nov 2008I am really curious about something. iTunes is a media player, right? QuickTime is a codec and a browser plugin for the most part, correct? I mean, iTunes plays MP3 and other media files, I can see there being file associations to open iTunes with certain file types. I know that it’s meta-data is all [...]

Who the hell buys a Zune at GameStop?
In: Technology
27 May 2008GameStop, a leading video game retailer, has decided that it will no longer stock Microsoft’s Zune players, citing poor sales. And while I don’t quite agree with my fellow-blogger Don Reisinger that this is the beginning of the end for Zune, it’s hard to see any silver lining in the news. From Microsoft loses a [...]
