Are your out of your freaking mind??? The very first thing the Zune did to loyal Microsoft customers when it was first introduced was to SCREW everyone they'd suckered into buying music with their "playsforsure" DRM!! And now your praising them because they came up with a freaking firmware update. Yeah when the change to your product is evolutionary and not revolutionary, you can do that sort of thing. The firmware for the iPod touch will _never_ run on an older iPod. THE mp3 player for this year is the iPod Touch. Watch the numbers for the Christmas season. The touch will mop the floor with the Zune. Don't ever try to tell me that a player introduced from a manufacturer was to royally screw their initial customers has anything even resembling customer service. Cry and bitch all you want about the calendar feature on the touch, but with respect to the Zune vs. the iPod I have to ask where's the Wifi store for buying songs on the Zune?? That's a pretty blatant missing feature right there. I don't know why I bother responding to some of these stories. You should just rename your site - Trolling Apple Users Matters....

Decided to visit your site today and had this errie bad feeling that there would be a column on "Apple Matters" telling me how the iPhone has all these flaws. And true enough, it has some, but darn it if I can remember the last time I've visited Apple Matters and seen much for positive stories about Apple. Whats up with all this?

In you list of things Apple need to do you list: - Having a superior OS to Vista when it comes out. and then you list - Allowing Windows to run on Macs (Already Done) of course the superior os is already done as well. I can envision no way that Vista will surpass the current OS X, in its current state (with so many features already pulled and more probably to come) it has no chance of even catching OS X.

Yes, I am serious. For someone to beat iTunes, their prices will need to actaully be lower per song. Same just isn't going to cut it. There would be no incentive to switch. But somehow the recording industry thinks that an online music store with the same or higher prices, more restrictive DRM and incompatibility with the iPod actually has a chance of competing against iTunes. The music industry is utterly, completely, and totally STUPID. They are beaten. They cannot beat iTunes with URGE or any other service until they are better on price AND with less DRM than iTunes.

I've got to agree with this. After putting an extra 1GB in my iMac, it went from random annoying pauses to blowing the doors off. Its an astounding difference.
