    Well, Apple did a very smart thing this week, working with a few major airlines to integrate iPod useage into their aircraft. This will help keep the iPod ahead of the Zune for quite a while.

    Xbox IS kinda pwned... it only captured about 15 percent of the market, and MS lost BILLIONS of dollars on the thing to do even that. Only place the Xbox did at all well was the US. Worldwide... blah. \



    Xbox360 looks somewhat less lame, but that's cuz there's been no next-gen console competition for it for a year. That situation changes now.

    How has sales of Xbox360 been? US? Worldwide? *too tired to google it myself* It's pretty damn pricey for Asian countries, even Australia, once you factor in PS2 and good times/ cost with that.

    I think someone had this discussion with Sunil. Pop some "speed", then when that crashes, depressants, when that crashes, repeat with speed. I think that will do the trick.

    Told you before somewhere else, speed actually makes me sleeepy, not hyped-up.

    Sure, make fun of my mood disorder

    Nah, I know it's all in good humour 8)

    We've totally derailed this thread. Seems to happen a lot when I'm involved. I'm too much of an attention-seeker maybe \
