I'm gonna get all crotchety old man on your asses for a bit

Ok I just have a couple of things I want to bitch about for awhile. The Intranets blog/facebook/myspace/twitter is the best way for someone with an opinion to make themselves feel important so I'm going to bitch here. Though there will be little to no consequence.

Anyway. Ok first of is Zune. Zune's are fucking ridiculous. My mind can not wrap around what kind of shit product this is. Not a good kind of shit either. The kind of shit you find in someone elses toilet when you lift up the seat, or stadium communal bathroom shit. I don't get how microsoft completly said fuck you to the macintosh ipod business model and product structure. How can they possibly hope to even compete against that juggernaut if they don't even atempt to make the product similar to the i-pod aka the universal mp3 play. We don't even call them mp3 players, everything is an ipod now.
The reason i complain about this is my sister. She got a zune some time ago for some insane reason. I think she thought it would be cool to fuck the man by not joining the cult of ipod. Well what she got was fucked. 2 years she's had it and has not been able to figure out how to add or remove usic from it. Her friend put a couple of things on and now she's sick of all the albums. I being the thoughtful music and technological genius that i am decided to help her out and share some of my hard "bought" music. 2 weeks it took me of trying to get this thing to work. 2 weeks to get a microsoft product to run on windows. And then when i finally did i had to look up websites on how to run the damn thing. Trust me there's a lot of websites out there for zune help...probablly more then actual zunes in circulation. Anyway now on the day of her birthday i'm finally getting the damn thing filled up with music. Even this is hard. You have to find the folders you want the zune software to read, then the zune folder scans everything and this takes forever then you have to go through the list of scanned folders to find what you want to add and then add it and then that takes forever. So ridiculous.

Anyway don't buy a zune don't support it and don't even think that it has any right to exist in the ipod world.God bless mac and their monopoly on mp3 players. This company not only makes a product that is affordable, easy to use, technologically sound, diverse and stylish...they constantlly are updatig every version of their brand. From hardware to software they're totally focused on improvements. So fuck you microsoft and really really from the deepest darkest diseased part of my soul fuck you zune.

Oh and happy 25th B-day Andrea

ok the part of the above link's clip that's relevant to my rant is about halfway through the clip. The whole clip is still funny. But i love olivia's take on the zune. My mom actually likes this show too.It's hillarious especially their Around the Net segments.
