And, I'm glad this kid is staying in school. I doubt the ad on craigslist will stay active for too long, so I copied the contents of it here:

Windows stealing from the Mac?

How could it be? This is too funny... and yet, oh so true.



Maybe the tide is finally shifting?

Then again, when has Microsoft really NOT stolen from Macintosh? Like, way back in the day when Apple started using that crazy "mouse" thing back in '83.

Headaches, vomit, and mp3 players

Well, it looks like I came down with the flu recently. This is the sickest I can ever remember being in well over 10 years. And it wasn't fun, either. I was off work for 4 consecutive days. Which in itself is usually a treat, but this time it was no picnic.

And today, I was talking with my new boss Brian, who mentioned he was thinking of getting a new mp3 player that's come out on the market, called the Zune. Looks interesting. You can watch videos in portrait or landscape (not that I use mp3 players to watch videos, anyway). And it has wireless connectivity between other "Zunes", which is cool too. But, there are a few problems with it.

For one, it's not compatible with the Mac. Since it's a Microsoft product, I don't see them bending over backwards anytime soon to address this - so for any die-hard mac fan, they've simply closed the door on marketing to us. *shrugs* I never liked Microsoft that much anyway.

But get this: it isn't just incompatible with the Mac, it's currently incompatible with Windows! Well, with Windows Vista, that is. They're currently "working on it" to make it compatible.

Really, that one sums it all up for me: Microsoft goes and makes a product, brings it to market, then figures out how to make it work with their OS. That in itself has cemented me from considering a Windows-based OS for another year or two. Morons.

I'm not really looking for a new iPod. But, now that the Zune is around... maybe that will force a few new features into the iPod... more cool stuff on the iPod might just make me go looking for a new one!

But if I can't use it with my computer... I'm sure as hell not buying a Zune.
