Zune was on the top 10 list also. Oh wait, what I meant to say was that Microsoft actually sold 10 Zunes this holiday season. Heh heh...

"Microsoft actually sold 10 Zunes this holiday season."

By sold, do you mean gave away?

Are there any analyst expectations on iPod unit sales for Friday's Earning announcement for AAPL?

I know the Friday call will be fore last quarter, but I'd like to know.

So why are Zunes carried at the video game boutiques, but they don't carry Ipods.

Oh, my 2cents on the stupid "Welcome to the Social" slogan. Who the fsck was the moron that thought putting on a pair of headphones is social. When you put on a pair of headphones to listen to music you are cutting yourself off from the rest of the world intentionally. Social? Sure if you fscking have multiple personality disorder. Someone needs to have a stungun shoved into their sphincter for that one.

I have 3 Ipods on my wishlist, red nano, black nano, black 60gig.

Offered only as a preemptive piece of advice: Bite me, ZTang. Your icon of all things MSoft is DOA. How sad--and how well deserved.

Bruce, that rant was too funny! The first time I saw the ad where a bunch of people were at a concert all listening to their Zunes, I thought "What kind of dumbass thought this up?!?!?" If you go to a concert and are listening to your MP3, you must surely have your head in your butt!

Erm, Sony F707 is on the list.

Jeez, it's a discontinued model!

Sooo... I don't think we should take too much notice here.

Though I should say my 30gb iPod video still gives me mucho pleasure 12.5 months on, though the HD is almost full now

The Zune slogan went through a few minor revisions.

Originally, it was "Welcome to permanent and devastating social isolation. Please hold still while I figure out how to squirt you. WAIT! PLEASE DON'T GO! Hello? Anybody? Cujo?"

Bruce, you're right. iPods are antisocial. You can't squirt with an iPod like I can with my beautiful brown Zune. There's no stopping Microsoft now—everyone will want to squirt each other and you iPod lemmings will be left out, unless you get a Zune. How about it big Bruce? Care to squirt with me?

Who the hell is Amazon anyway? In what way is Amazon an indicator of sales success? So they sold some Harry Potter books and maybe a couple of Zune copycat iPods. Whoop-de-freakin'-do! Real electronics enthusiasts who understand superior MP3 players shop at better retailers who have a real presence on the 'net.

Welcome to the Social.

"Care to squirt with me?"

What a GREAT pick-up line! Let us know how that works out for you.

Let me tell you how it works: FANTASTIC! I wouldn't say the "Care to squirt with me" line works as well as the Zune itself. This brown thing is a magnet for hip, attractive people who want to get their squirt on. What do you expect from Microsoft? Redmond knows sexy style like no one else. You iPod lemmings can only dream…

Welcome to the Social.

Isn't the Zune just a Gigabeat in drag?

*Bad* drag.

MW: 'enough' (to fill the Albert Hall)

P.S. Thirty.

Million.

I was in Staples (the big box office supply store) the other day buying a flash drive. Out of curiosity, I asked if they had iPods. No, but they had Zune, and the customer service peon was very proud of that.

Loser.

UUUUGH!

I'm let anyone squirt on me. I'm not down with the schizen/scat fetish. That sounds like it's up Ballmer's alley.

Scatman Ballmer. LOL.

Apparently I was so digusted with the squirting that I forgot the not in my first sentence.

@bruce

that's known as a Freudian slip, you know, when you say one thing and mean your mother.
