Obama's "ZuneGate"
theodp writes "Barack Obama supporters were left shaking their heads after a report surfaced that the president-elect was using a Zune at the gym instead of an iPod. So why would Mac-user Obama be Zune-ing out? Could be one of those special-edition preloaded Zunes that Microsoft bestowed on Democratic National Convention attendees, suggests TechFlash, nixing the idea that the soon-to-be Leader of the Free World would waste time loading Parallels or Boot Camp in OS X just to use a Zune."
I will seriously kill myself if he likes Star Wars better than Star Trek.
I record my sleeptalking
He is one of those f*** bastards who use the tool that best fits him (for example being free, if it is really a gift from microsoft) instead of "what he should use"!
(or better)
He is one of those f*** bastards who only want to listen mp3 ignoring how stylish is his player!!
Impeachment now!!
Actually, I didn't mean to repeat "holy Christ" twice in the same post. I'm very sorry everybody. I'm very sorry Slashdot is posting tabloid bullshit.

That's ok, you actually have to call his name three times in order for him to...oh wait, I think that was the other guy...
Can you impeach a president elect? I think we should try!

Yeah, but if it turned out he was listening to c64 sid music, I'd wet my pants ;-)
Beetlejuice.

Right. So obviously nobody has modded your post +5 insightful yet.
But they should. I mean seriously. Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick. Who cares? In other news, he might wear string underwear, use hugo boss suits and play the banjo in his spare time too... And I still ask myself "who cares?"
All of these bloggers, newsmen, execs and /. editors ought to get something that at least resembles a life. Really. Seriously.
It reminds me of a Cake Song:

Perhaps it's just a prop that one of his advisers handed him to make him look hip.

You guys are all missing the point! The "news, things that matter" part of this isn't that Obama is using a Zune, but that a Zune has actually been seen being used by someone. Happens to be the president-elect, that's just the bonus celebrity factor. But have you ever seen a Zune outside a store? See, now you know why this is news. :-)

Americans can get married whether gay, bi or straight... as long as they marry someone of the opposite gender!
Take that cloggie!
I am absolutely thrilled that the dumbest thing this president has done so far is use a Microsoft product. Dubya had already planned to blow up half of the world by now.
He's quite clearly an Apple guy, and like all their fanbois he is a religous zealot, who will do his hardest once president to push to ensure the spirit of the Mac leader does not die. After all, he has pledged to create 2.5 million Jobs - I just hope they've ordered a load of black turtlenexk sweaters for all those clones.

evidence coming out that tends to show it's not very healthy to carry one over you for long stretches of time.
No doubt. Wouldn't your arms get tired?
Oh crap, it's been revealed that I don't know what I'm talking about!
Oh well. Here's some more clueless blather to indicate that I think you're either a moron or a fool who can be easily distracted by words!

A ski mask can be had for $5 if you shop around. Wearing that, you can run by and snatch someone's iPod out of their hands. I just saved you $35.
The president is smarter than you think. He just wants make his iPod a less attractive target for theft.
THANK YOU. I would be the president of your fan club.
Slapping "Gate" on everything annoys the fuck out of me, as well. First, it's not a fucking suffix, it's half the hotel name. Second, Watergate was Nixon's thing; stop being lazy fucking journalists and make up your own damn titles.
If you need me, I'll be in the Angry Dome. Rrrrrrr...
