 [Blog.wired.com] Listening Post: The simple stereo auxiliary input, available in a few aftermarket car stereos and, evidently, one particular Chevy Impala from the Jacksonville National Car Rental, supports any portable audio player (including most music cellphones and satellite radio receivers). I'd highly recommend it, whether you're renting, buying, or replacing a car stereo -- even for iPod owners, because it's never a good idea to get locked into a proprietary interface.

 [Scobleizer.com] My thoughts about Zune vs. iPod « Scobleizer - Tech Geek Blogger: Microsoft has already locked out of its device its existing partners, its WMP team, and its XBox team, and they are proudly proclaiming this is a closed, vertical system to provide simplicity and ease-of-use, and you are granting them 3rd party developers when already the iPod has iPod Linux and a vast community of hacks and apps, numerous apps to interact with the iPod, simple apps using its notes and other features, game development, exclusive and innovative apps via partnerships with Nike, and you are giving the advantage to the Zune? More silliness.

 [Podtech.net] Microsoft Zune in depth | ScobleShow: Videoblog about geeks ...: And I would have preferred someone who would have answered that question (About the Zune's headphones) something like "Well, we tried to put the best headphones we could in here, and we think most people will find them to be pretty good. Now, obviously if you're a real audiophile you can get some third-party high end headphones and they'll work just fine, but the included ones should work great for the average customer."

 [Internet-nexus.com] Paul Thurrott's Internet Nexus - A technology blog: The virus, called RavMonE.exe, can be easily eradicated with free tools from security companies such as McAfee and Symantec, but Apple recommends that any Windows users who recently purchased an iPod check their entire systems, including any external storage devices, for the virus. According to Apple, the virus doesn't pose any direct threat to data files on an infected PC, but it does lower security settings.

 [Zuneinsider.com] Zune Insider Blog: Answers to (some) of Your Zune Questions: The actions of the defendant place their users in direct violation of the terms of this license, and as such, MS, by encouraging the users of Zune products to violate the license - and thus copyright law as they no longer have a legal copy of the music, is a direct contributor to the copyright infringment of it's users. We feel that the damage done to our clients reaches into the $[asshat number with no relationship to reality] and so ask MS to pay them $[even higher number] to cover our clients losses, their emotional distress, and legal fees.
