  1. F-U Best Buy on Best Buy Says Customers Not Always Right · · Score: 1

    BB screwed me over years ago with its anti-costomer policies.

    I haven't been back and always direct people to other stores and better buys.

  2. Zina is not Andromeda on Icecast 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I started out using Andromeda and switched to Zina.

    Zina is a graphical interface to your MP3 collection, a personal jukebox, an MP3 streamer. It can run on its own, embeded into an existing website, or as a Postnuke/PHPNuke module. It is similar to Andromeda, but released under the GNU General Public License.

  7. ploy? on Microsoft Kills Off Mac IE, Blames Safari · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe M$ wants access to Apple source code. Longhorn is due 2005 after all.

  8. how about an iTower? on PPC 970 Powerbooks and Powermacs in Production? · · Score: 1

    " The eMac is a dorky unit. It also represents what is a glaring hole in the Apple line. There is a huge market of consumers that are buying low end PCs in that $500-700 range. The only unit Apple has to compete with that is the eMac. Now someone somewhere might think that is a good option, but I haven't met that person.

    What Apple needs for this market is a low-end tower. Potential switchers should have the option of buying a mid tower with the eMac specs (800Mhz G4, 128MB RAM, 40GB drive, CD) for $600. If you are trying to get people to switch, it kind of goes without saying that they already have a monitor. A low-end tower would let them get into a Mac at a more attractive price while retaining the equipment they already paid for. "

    Would an $600 iTower mean more switchers or cannibalize PowerMac sales?

    You can buy the British version in softcover from www.amazon.co.uk and have them shipped to the U.S.

  10. creating viable competition on Public Comment Period In MS/DOJ Battle · · Score: 1

    Hows this.

    1) Forced Open Standards on all M$ apps.
    2) Release whatever kneebreaking agreement M$ has with IBM over OS/2 Warp
    3) Allow IBM to market Warp as IBM Windows with similiar name scheme (ME/2000/XP etc...)

    Yes, this would create confusion for the customer but they would figure it out quickly enough. I think this would quickly create a huge competitor for M$ with backbone that has a BIG ax to grind.
