thanks for clearing that up. Here's what someone else said agreeing with you in the last comments:
"From the articles I've read so far (TFA for this story has been Slashdotted), it sounds like Zune will add DRM to files that are wirelessly shared with other Zune players, not to the DRM-free files you transfer from the Zune software (WMP 11?) to the Zune. Adding DRM to your shared, but intitially DRM-free, files may sound like a crap move, but do you think any player (including the iPod) can get away with allowing direct player-to-player copying without adding DRM? This would be similar to file "sharing" like P2P, but on a smaller scale. In the paranoid RIAA's eyes, people could be adding copyrighted music to their players even if they didn't own the original CD."
IMO from a piracy standpoint it completely makes sense to do this. not surprising in the least
he might be confused because FSL does provide the development tools for the Wii. From the same guys who used to be called Metrowerks (bought by Motorola).
well, FSL did report increasing earnings each quarter for the last 7 quarters..... They are on track for almost $2 per share annually. It could be this potential for growth (for several reasons) that causes the buyers to believe that FSL is worth more than the market cap of 12.4 billion.
I'm no behavioral expert, but with a very limited plan, you could use the phone as a tool for teaching the concept of time management. Sort of a way to have them thinking about that clock in the back of their mind when they are chatting to their friends. Besides, they're going to have to have a mobile phone at some point in their life.
