Everyone is so smug in their satisfaction that Apple hit another homerun and the other guys are badmouthing it because they are scared. Hardly. Apple is a bit of a johnny-come-lately to this, and while Siri is definitely crowd pleasing, it rea…

This is in reference to the Vongo service operated by Liberty Media, not Starz the cable channel. Vongo provides downloadable movies on a subscription or rental basis, licensed under the distribution deals Starz has with the studios. The idea is Von…

I liken the Zune to the first-generation Xbox. The Xbox was the first console to have a hard drive and a network port as standard. In all other respects, it was average at best, but the hard drive and the network port enabled Xbox Live. I don't c…

Wow, the misinformation and ignorance in this thread is stunning. Firstly, you do not need to be an Xbox Live Gold subscriber to access this video download service. You only need to be an Xbox Live member, which is free. Secondly, the service wil…

I don't like the orientation of the display for viewing video. I didn't like it with the 5G iPod, and I don't like it with this player. Creative should have turned the screen sideways and put the vertical touchpad beside it. And then made it ambidex…

I hate the music industry. If there's one industry that consistently manages to find ways to piss off its best customers, it's them. Let's not forget, the music industry has already been caught fixing prices on CDs. It seems they have not learned…
