You should be aware of how large Wal-Mart really is.
It posted $245 billion in sales in its most recent fiscal year -- nearly twice as much as General Electric Co. and almost eight times as much as Microsoft (LA Times).
Its the largest corporation in the world.
Wal Mart's decisions influence world wide economies! They are very big and powerful and it seems to only get bigger and bigger.
Interesting statistic, if Dial (amongst others) decided not to sell their products in Wal Mart they would have to sell 10 times as much all the other stores.
- Do some research on them, the facts will astonish you.
Maybe the "Great Value" laptops in conjuction with the bouncing smiley's will turn all of us in zombies who want nothing more than to pay the lowest prices turning Wal Mart into even more of a money hungry monopoly they are fast becoming.
Just because some of you prefer to use lower quality software and non-intuitive buggy crap does't mean that us Mac users are retards. I know fellow mac users that could run circles in unix knowledge and/or programming knowledges and I also know mac users who know nothing beyond clicking their icon in the dock. Truth is..you can go any way you want in the Mac world, even if you just want something that 'just works'.
Actually the comment on the fact that they only play on the iPod is true, but that doesn't stop you from burning it on to a disc and ripping it back to an mp3..then allowing you to put it wherever you feel like it.
So the individual downloader's hard drives holding the 1 billion songs?
btw.. I dont think the RIAA would ever discount....ok maybe 2 cents off the 65 the get.
FingerWorks has keyboards that allow mouse jestering if you cant wait for your *ahem*beloved IE to get features that have been in other browsers for ages (go Safari!). (I dont know about mouse gesters though.
The concept looks cool..
Storage space..... there wouldn't be 1 billion songs sitting somewhere only deleted when someone downloaded it..hello??? There are only 400,000 songs on iTunes store...gosh if last week 1 million were sold there must be multiple copies of each song just wasting space.... and 1 million copies of iTunes were downloaded..that means there were 1 million copies made on apple's servers........

Btw...if you read my first post it states...
"like the hungry monopoly they are fast becoming."
Meaning I didn't say they 'are' a monopoly, but implied they are becoming a monopoly.

Sounds like he is doing his job if he gives praise to things that are easy to use, and points out flaws that products have.
