- Zune problems? All should be fine by MidnightSo, by letting your kids and yourself... have an ear-splitting volume of music free day (and hopefully prolonging your hearing, which does NOT recover), Microsoft should be sued?Better I think to thank them for their ineptitude which lead, hopefully, to a day of...

- Was Windows 7 totally your idea?
- W7: Whose ideas?It is pretty clear that Apple and Microsoft "borrow" from each other. I don't think that's a problem, all competitors "borrow" each others' ideas and the consumer wins.What is clear, though, is that Microsoft did listen to alot of people but it wasn't those people that use...

- Another strong quarter for Apple; credit strong iPhone, Mac sales

- Critical iTunes flaw exposes Mac, Windows to hacker attacks
- No trolls yet? OK, Let me start.If this software was open source, geeks like me could patch it ourselves without needing to wait for some company to do it or not. So at least we would be safer. Windows is a abomination of a 32-bit DOS clone, and OS X...

- Why pre-roll app ads on the Zune HD are a dealbreaker
- OptionsAs others have suggested, I guess MS could offer the apps for a fee, as well as free and ad supported. I think it would probably be a good idea if MS is very upfront about a free app being ad supported. I think so long as MS ensures that...
