I have a service called Kazaa that costs 0 cents a song and lets you burn a CD. I like that better.

  Seeing how no P2P services work well on Macs (why is that, anyway?) $.99 a song beats using the shit software that is available, really.

jesus. if you are into punk, buy one (pick one at random) fucking album of that shit. all the rest of the genre is the same.

adult-olescents trying to relate to teenagers. or teenagers trying to prove that they aren't as fucking stupid as they really are.

conclusion: your opinion was nulled by your musical preference.

Apple seems to come up with pretty good ideas, then make them worthless to me by forcing me to buy their hardware.

Saudi Arabia, eh? What for, despite the fact that they're a monarchy and have allegations that they supported the 9/11 hijackers? Interestingly enough, Muslims worldwide hate the Saudi government, it's corrupt.
