iTunes Use Surges Past QuickTime, RealPlayer
QuatermassX writes "Forget increased sales of Mac computers, think media players. The iPod 'halo effect' shows its true power in recently compiled statistics from Nielsen/NetRatings and Apple. From the report on WebSiteOptimization.com: 'Podcasting is taking off and iPods are seemingly ubiquitous. Unique users of Apple's iTunes player should pass RealPlayer by mid-2006 with nearly 30 million users in the US alone. People are tuning in over twice as long with iTunes than with RealPlayer or Windows Media Player. As broadband penetration increases we are spending more time on our computers.'"
I've never heard of the "Halo effect" but apparently it kicks Slashdot's arse

...if it has anything to do with the fact that everyone and their dog I see these days owns an ipod. Hmm.
Yeah, their Linux client is gre...oh. Wait.
As broadband penetration increases we are spending more time on our computers.
Broad penetration, however, has been decreasing as we are spending more time on our computers.

But how could you afford to leave every song in memory?
I don't think Microsoft would be a fat moose. Maybe a somewhat attractive lady, but you can't shake the feeling that "she" is a "he" under that skirt.
If apple were a woman she would have a large blue vein extending from the nipple of her giant beasts. All your friends are like, "man, just look her tits."
But you have your doubts. You have seen alot of Apple City girls, and know the pitfalls of large breasts. Sure, they are pretty, but they can come with alot of problems.
Watch out if you ask one of these walking tit-bombs to improve herself. Maby loose a little weight, learn something new at the local community college. That bitch will send every one of her whiney little friends to your house, your school, and your work, to tell you how perfect she is. They will attempt to prove, through their whineing, that you are what is wrong. All those guys who drool over her all day can't be wrong.
No thanks.
What the hell is Realplayer? Oh! You mean that company that had a very brief up on Internet media a good 10 years ago and then lost it due to poor licensing, bloating their player beyond belief, privacy disputes, and restrictive supplier arrangements. Got it. They even still around?
