I see the requisite oval connector shape on the Zune (since they just couldn't stop at copying Apple's buttons and wheel look), but it's unclear what kind of dock connector they're using. If Apple has an exclusive deal with AMP, you can pretty much write the Zune off.
Well now that people have so kindly pointed out to me which AMP you're talking about... I should probably point to this Apple Tyco link I found. Apple and Tyco share board members. So the odds are fairly high that Tyco/AMP are going to go along with Apple's wishes as regards the dock connector.

It's just another example of Apple intentionally crippling the cheaper Macs in order to force you to buy the more expensive one. It's sickening really.
The one-l'd O'Neil from the movie woulda bagged Carter long ago...)
Errrrrr... well yeah the guy from the movie was a lot tougher than the one in the series, yet... I still can't imagine him tea-bagging anyone! He'd probably just shoot him instead.
The submitter assumes Apple caved, when actually we don't know the terms of the settlement and neither side is talking. Apple recently counter-sued for defense costs, maybe they dropped that in exchange for him dropping his lawsuit. After all, Apple didn't develop iTunes, they bought it. So the claims that Apple employees saw it at a trade show and ripped it off are completely false. Just wait and see, does dude go home and buy a new car and a boat? Or does he go back to his music store and keep working 9 to 5?
I believe that the worse effect (I exclude addiction since it's a bit of a seperate topic) of porn are limited to children and teenagers (more accuratly said: virgins). Porn give a more of a caricaturistic image of sex and without experience it's pretty hard to see what's real and what's acting. The second effect is loss of sensitivity. You'll become used to it and need stronger material. But this is strongly correlated to addiction.
And we all know there's no VIRGINS on Slashdot now are there?:)
I agree with every single one of your points, seriously though... how many times have you seen people openly brag about the size of their porn collection on Slashdot? Tens or HUNDREDS of Gigs all sorted and categorized. I used to be one of them too. Most won't ever acknowledge the damage it does them... they'll just blame the divorces on closed minded women and ennui. Or perhaps they'll reason that divorces are beneficial for society as people are no longer stuck in relationships as they used to be. I'm just waiting for them to start advocating total dissolution of marriage. Outdated they'll call it. Religious baggage.
You know you can still find some at swap meets these days... but eventually your music won't play anymore. Same with ACME Brand DRM... someday it will stop working. Then you get to buy it again. Remember records? Tapes? DRM is disposable.
I agree with you on that, I was just trying to point out the double-think when it comes to what has an influence on people. If you go with the Slashdot group think then porn is A-okay, violent games and movies won't have any affect on you, etc... Yeah it's true some people are already nuts and those things set them over the edge, most people DON'T end up like those psychos. Yet still there is a complete denial of anything that they ENJOY having any adverse effects on them. AT LEAST cigarette smokers won't deny it's killing them, AT LEAST alcoholics know they should quit... but why can't people grow up a little and say "Yeah it has an effect on me, but I don't care" instead of denying it wholesale. Goodness, billions a year spent on advertisements, tons of studies showing that aggressive entertainment makes kids more aggressive, why do they fight so hard to rationalize their porn and guns? Things we see DO have an effect on us. Oh well, whatever... they don't care.
So what you're saying is that pictures of starving anorexics cause "a surprisingly high chance of developing an eating disorder" but "dangerous forms of sexual imagery" are not likely to influence anyone?
Slashdot Mirror
Ummm... you don't trace cables, that's how you zip-tie them, by labeling both ends.
How about somebody post the lyrics for a deaf geek y'all?
Wait til they get a load of the DALEKS game I'm writing in BASIC. Portable gaming will never be the same.
Yep, it's an art form as a matter of fact... Dvorak and Mac users for instance.
a motorised chair with wheels, which Microsoft will market it as the Zume.
I think more likely they'd call it a Zoom.

What's AMP? Googled it but no luck.
I'm still perfecting my sarcasm on the internet. If I add a wink... it's tooo obvious and lame. Maybe a ... ..
heh
At the end will do it better.

WOOOSH!!!
Talking about Macs not including a "cup holder"

I thought their H.264 limitations were a bit lower than what's being sold now on the store. Do these videos only work on the ones announced today?
The Nothing is devouring Fantasia. ATREYUUUUU!!!!!!
The only question is, does it use more or less power during read/write cycles?
Well considering it's PERFECT RAM... the power consumption had BETTER be less.

At least they didn't patent the letter E.
Total assault on the culture by any means necessary, including rock n' roll, dope and fucking in the streets.
:-) Yay anarchy rawkz dude!!
I suggest that your cultural assault include unpredictable cell phones.
Need I say any more?
Why are you worried about a legal DOS when you're running OS X on non-Apple hardware? Well hey if that helps you sleep at night.
Shoot... I used to EAT those things. Kids just don't know the value of the stuff they're chewing on.

I think you mean -1 ... you didn't LIKE that image did you?
You know you can still find some at swap meets these days... but eventually your music won't play anymore. Same with ACME Brand DRM...

Don't buy
Disposable Restricted Music.
Doomed Regrettable Muck
Digitally Reduced Mush
Doubly Repurchased Music
Damned Retarded Munchkins
I gotta make a script for this!
