    It appears I have scored a first post! Let's vandalize Wikipedia!

  2. Surprisingly? by Epsillon · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why is it so surprising that with things like the PalmOne Treo and other very useful devices in the list, a proprietary format audio file player that you can't even get your music back off of when things go mammaries vertical should be *way* down the list? Or is this just another Apple fanboy rant?

    No offense to the Google lovers, but how in the hell did gmail make it to number 2? Yikes! The guys who did this probably also did the polls that said John Kerry would win the us presidency...

    Guys, Microsoft is the innovator at least according to Bill G. But where is M$ here? What about M$ Virtual Earth?

    Um, have you seen and used the other MP3 devises? Total shit and they look even worse. Only motherfucking DORKS use anything but an iPod because they're not listening to music on it. They're saving Linux and Win 98 ISOs and other l33t w4r3z on it.

    Well, I would sooner cut my throat than use Mac OS, personally. But I have a friend who's a bigtime Mac zealot. And he has absolutely nothing good to say about 10.4. He was always telling me about how Mac OS just gets faster and faster with each release, but he said with 10.4, Apple just fucked up way too much by making things even more pretty at the cost of performance. He doesn't have a whole lot of memory on his machine, so the OS is completely unuseable.

    Not to troll or anything, but I like my program to be able to go fullscreen without having to spend $30 or whatever on a license, thank you very much.

    My favourites? mplayer, VLC, XMMS (although XMMS2 is much-needed)
