Zune Owners Get A Peripheral

So, I hear you and your two friends with Zunes got together for a bit of a jamboree the other night. That sounds real fun. Did you drink too many bottles of Bartles & Jaymes and get a headache? Poor you. Don’t sleep in tomorrow though, or you might miss out on the McDonald’s breakfast trip going down at 8:30AM. ...

Ballmer Totally Owned By Custom Zune Design

Microsoft was just asking for something like this to happen when they offered custom designs for their portable media player, the Zune. This particualr design was put together by iPhoneSavior.com, with a caricature of Steve Ballmer proclaiming he is a “frigtard”. P.S.

FCC approves 80GB Zune; We Predict It Bombs

So, Mr. Gates. It seems you want to make another go at this whole portable media thing. The FCC has approved the Zune 2 80GB model, after putting it through the usual vigorous testing for compliance with such rules as the allowed radiated emissions, and more importantly, the mandatory “doesn’t blue screen every two seconds” test. I think it remains ...

Throw away the stylus: Finger tip controlled interface coming soon

They hand you a stylus and send you on your way, but they neglect to tell you that the touch control does more messing up than it does controlling.

We’re in the Windows Mobile business. We can put Zune into Windows Mobile, we can put Xbox into Windows Mobile. We can pour everything in.” Ballmer then proceeded to run ...

A newly published patent, which was submitted last year by the Gates’ Squad, seems to be the UI of a possible Zune phone. Whatever it is, it’s definitely some kind of interface for a ...

First ZunePhone commercial released!

[ev type=”youtube” data=”zPFu9ezddyk”][/ev] For only $9, the ZunePhone can be yours! It’s INCREDIBLE! And don’t forget about Microsoft Paint! Steve Ballmer’s excited, so we’re excited! AHHHHHHHH! Too bad its a spoof. We’d so shell out the nine bucks. Will the ZunePhone ever be a reality? Sure, right after the iPhone becomes established enough for the ZunePhone to be a failure. ...

PlaysForSure dead? Think again and meet PlayReady for cellphones

Microsoft is doing an amazing job and confusing us right now in terms of where they stand with their own DRM technology. Remember PlaysForSure? And how the Zune completely snubbed that idea, and how we thought that PlaysForSure was “for sure” going to get phased out? Not happenning yet. Microsoft has announced that they have another DRM technology that is ...
