Yeah, great idea! Let's beam out the first season of Lost and wait for the aliens to invade us because the finale gave them no answers and they got fed up with waiting for us to beam out the second season...
Seriously, what's the deal with people hating FM radio? I spend my whole day at work listening to BBC Radio 1. Sure, their daytime playlist is quite limited, but they do play some new music in the evenings, but I mainly tune in for the DJs. If anyone in the US has Sirius(?), tune into Radio 1 and give Chris Moyles a listen.
Hopefully none of the visions of the future will ever feature any of these quotes:
No, what you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer be standing, because if I am you'll all be dead before you've reloaded.
You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!
Once again on the price, you need to make a product sexy to sell it. The dancing silhouette with the white headphones sold the iPod because it looked good.
So Microsoft, I propose you do this:
A dancing Ballmer silhouette.
My pulse is rising already just thinking about it.
Microsoft can make the Zune as cheap as they like. What made the iPod successful was how easy it was to add songs to it. I haven't seen the software that's going to be shipped with the Zune but I'm guessing it'll be similar to iTunes.
What I'm interested in though is how Microsoft are going to convert existing iPod owners over to their side. Aren't they offering something like the ability to download (for free) all the songs you have in iTunes onto your Zune from the Zune Marketplace, or are they going to copy all the existing songs from iTunes / iPod onto your Zune?
Everytime I see this I can't help but chuckle. I can just imagine a family with their Kitchen, Bathroom and Basement Computers. I can just see the kitchen computer sending a message to the bathroom computer telling the person in there that their microwave burrito is ready...
I don't understand this. You write the test before you write the code? This doesn't work in real life because, as every experienced coder will know, the goal posts get shifted at the last moment, usually a week before the product's supposed to go live.

5. Lack of decent file-browser.
I second this. On KDE it's OK, but that's because they've just pinched Explorer, but on Gnome, it's a pitiful unprofessional mess. Hell, even the Amiga file browser is more intuitive than the Gnome one.

The wireless feature was a great idea, they just screwed it up. Maybe they can fix it before Apple steps in with an iPod Shareable(TM)

... and here I tought naively we could kiss goodbye to Macrobe Flash.
The only thing I thought was "Shit, I'm going need yet another blocker for my browser!"
well, starting soon it sucks just a little less.
It'd suck even less if they'd allow donations for SCUMMVM again...

Hang on,
the Zune is $249.99. The iPod is $249.00, with $0.99 left over to buy a song with.
I was wondering what I'm going to do with my Windows machine...
Here's one idea...
What massively parallel tasks would possibly need 80 cores?
Personally I think they should add another 580. That should be enough... you know the rest.
like a bus architecture that can actually keep up with present performance levels?
There's nothing wrong with bus architecture in my opinion.
I stand at the stop, the digital sign says the bus will be along in 4 minutes.
4 minutes later the bus turns up.
I don't see what the problem is.
Bravo!
:P

That's odd, all the stories after Microsoft Vista User Interface Guidelines Published don't show the comment count...
but it didn't have anything to do with DRM

No no no, you've missed the point! Imagine it like this:
You're sitting on the can, straining away (as you do) and then suddenly the computer in the room (the Bathroom Computer) pops up a message alert:
"Kitchen Computer says: Your Burrito is ready"
House of tomorrow? I think so...
I think they put it best in Clerks 2:
"What's the point of having an internet connection if you're not using it to look up weird fucked up pictures of dirty sex you'd never have yourself?"

Seriously, why do you want the cameras taken down? I don't care that I'm caught on camera over 300 times a day. And you know why?
Because I haven't done anything wrong.
It's the people that are up to no good that are the ones that care...
Only if it puts out on the first date...

That is true, but by that time scientists will have increased the resolution of the human eye to 66 megapixels.
Rather like the way scientists increased the speed of light in Futurama.
