The truth


MySpace is the most revolting site on the web. My eyes feel abused after looking at people's sites.
Speaking of ugly computing, use a Mac for an extended period of time, and tell me Winblows isn't hideous. GNOME in Linux is far better looking than any Winblows creation (and is better looking than OSX sometimes too!).

Microsoft Zune unboxed on camera

This is Microsoft's new audo player. I like the brown color choice, and I'm suprised I do. I figured it would be kind of like the Ubuntu, nasty brown, but instead it is like a dark chocolate brown.

But, I don't think I like it overall. It looks like a total iPod ripoff. I mean, couldn't they have thought of something other than a clickwheel to control it with??? It has the same look as an older iPod, and it appears to be huge. The bigger screen would be nice for video, but I don't care about that feature. I use my iPod for audo. I have a TV and big computer monitors to watch video on if I want to. The Zune appears to be too big to fit in a pair of jean's pocket, and therefore too big to be comfortable or practical (not to mention the sharp corners it appears to have).

However, I have yet to handle one of these units. Maybe the UI is worth all the (seemingly) poor case design. I am a bit of an Apple fan boy, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I love my iPod, too, and I'm not ashamed to admit that either. I'll give the Zune a fair shake when I see one in real life, but until then, I think it looks like an "Also-ran".
