Who does Chris DeWolfe, CEO of MySpace.com, think he is? Michael Arrington of TechCrunch? Because he certainly doesn’t think he’s the CEO of MySpace. If he did, he wouldn’t have come up with the crazy notion that MySpace could compete in what is essentially Apple’s market of portable media players. Seriously, a MySpace-branded portable media player? Are you nuts?

According to Reuters, DeWolfe is only thinking about it. Let’s hope this idea remains a thought never to be realized, lest it joins the ranks of the Zune all the way at the bottom. If Microsoft can’t compete, what makes MySpace think it can? Clearly, it’s the Kool-Aid.

Later today, you’re going to feel the ground shake a little and possible open up in some areas. Don’t worry. It’s just the sound of the earth moving around furiously over news of this 120GB Zune. What’s a Zune? A strange MP3 player from Microsoft that still hasn’t died and a 120GB is due out next week.

Now about that earth moving around. That’s because some dude in Hotlanta, GA bought a 120GB Zune early at a Fry’s Electronics. It’s not the first time a product has been available for purchase early. Want a CD a week or so before it comes out? Find a (very) local CD retailer and check in with them every day. That’s how I got my Dashboard Confessional albums, which in turn I ripped to my Zune which in turn made me want to kill myself. $250 and your pride.
