You sure seem to like promoting Zune, which is unavailable to most of the rest of the world.
I use MobileMe to stream content I upload.

"Ownership" be damned. It's all electronic. Scarcity is a thing of the past in the new e-conomy.
If you 'knock somebody up' in the UK, you have made them pregnant. 'Wake you up' means just that.
Not according to several friends of mine who were born and raised in England. Getting pregnant is what I learned too, but my English friends tell me different. (for them)
In Australia "knocked up" also means pregnant, although it's a term that is falling into disuse as the influence of American television and music continues it's relentless homogenisation of the English language.

All this social networking stuff is so boring. I have no interest at all in sharing my musical tastes or any other personal info for that matter with anyone unless I really know them (in the flesh as they say).
Definitely social only, their streaming sucks. I've ordered a movie every Sunday this month and it takes over an hour to download to 28% or so where you can start watching. And I'm on a 12mb connection. Very non-on-demand.
I forgot that I was downloading Green Zone tonight. Started at 1715 its now 2020. 39% and says 1 hour to go. Streaming service my ass.

Do you mean in that country where they say "knock you up" instead of "wake you up" ? Bloody hell .... that explains everything.
The term is 'playing your cards close to your chest' in the UK and the usa.
To ' knock someone up' in the UK means to get someone pregnant, not wake them up.
So you're saying (without using any third party hacking to remove DRM) I can put a movie I own on a thumb-drive, and play it in any mediahub?
Computers running Windows are Apple devices?

I suppose both terms would be acceptable ... but I learned this meaning: http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...o%20the%20vest
