MP3 Market Approaching Critical Mass

An anonymous reader writes "Led by the Apple iPod, Jupiter Research says that sales of DAPs are reaching a point where it will ignite an industry of support products and services. According to Jupiter analyst David Card 'Historically, any new device or medium that reaches a U.S. household penetration of 15 percent to 20 percent creates a critical mass of customers for other products and services.' The iPod already has a slew of peripherals out there and this is particularly good news for the paid download services like iTunes, especially with Apple announcing Wednesday they sold another 5.3 million iPods last quarter."

Yeah, products like lawsuits from the MPAA & RIAA. And services like defense lawyers...

You have no idea what you are talking about

I just have to say that though you may have seen a Chris Rock special on HBO, that does not make you a religion expert.

Yes, that's true - Jesus (if real) was cool

Every major religion recognizes that there was a man Jesus of Nazareth who lived about 2000 years ago in the land now known as Israel. This is not disputed by any main stream religion or government.

...the problem is, is all the different interpretations of his comments. They all start nicely, but end up with ... 'so you must die as the infadel that you are'

Simply a falicy. In no translation of the Bible and even in the non-canonical books (those are the one's that did not make it into the New Testament) does Jesus ever say that anyone should die. Jesus says that His Father will judge them but Jesus never calls for anyone to be killed.

In fact, the worst thing that Jesus ever says is that "My Father hates" when discussing something very common in America today - divorce.

Look, I am no biblical scholar and I didn't grow up going to church every Sunday, but I do know that what you have posted looks like the rantings of someone who is very hurt by an institution they do not understand. Why don't you try learning more about the Bible. Find a local church, temple, or mosque this weekend and go and pray. If you don't know what to pray for, start by praying for enlightenment.

Know that God has a purpose for all of us and loves all His children. Give thanks for that and know that you are loved.
