I guess he truly does reach across the aisle.

I only joined last week. Are we no longer doing the whole "best of the web" thing?

That's not change we can believe in.

So much for him being a Apple-fanboy Marxist elitist!
Obviously he's been waiting until he won the election to let the real truth out: He's been a secret capitalist the whole time, and now we know how much he really loves Microsoft.

We've been hoodwinked, I tell you.

Alarming. But there's a solution.

This could have very well been the October Surprise.. if it were still October.

And John McCain uses a phonograph.

He'll have to give it up, since his playlists would have to be made public pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act.

OH, AND WELCOME TO THE SOCIAL.

You sure have, by an evil evil man named Steve Jobs.

Anyway, I'd kind of hoped he would have been using a beaten up Sansa outfitted with Rockbox, BUT MAN O MANOS I CAN'T GET THE PISSING ARTICLE TO LOAD

You're just jealous because I can squirt songs to the future president and you can't.

Uses a Zune for what?

A Zune and a BlackBerry. I'm ready to embrace an RDF-free US President!

I'm calling shenanigans. Barack uses a MacBook Pro. Mac OS X won't work with a Zune (unless you boot Windows on the same hardware).

Plus, Barack's daughters would tease the hell out of him.

Hmm, I would have guessed he was more of a dictophone kind of guy.

I thought he used that organ thing from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Sounds like a serious flaw to me. Isn't there anyone at Apple smart enough to make it work, or are they all busy doing case design?

User citypaper_web already has more than 'max_user_connections' active...

And: WTF? The President-elect uses a Zune music player -- and this is worthy of posting? Or even being run as a news story?

iPod, therefore iAm.

So Rolling Stone got hoodwinked? What about his campaign promise "I won’t let Apple release the new and improved iPod the day after you bought the previous model."?

Seriously, have you guys used a Zune since their new software release? It's actually pretty slick and the unlimited music subscription plan is pretty freaking sweet -- I'd have one myself if it worked on my Mac.

Can this cool/not cool shit just end? Please.

I just got a Zen Stone and a little speaker set for £20 on eBay UK (crimmis pressie for my eldest). I can't see why I should get anything else. I hated it when iTunes changed all my files to m4a. Hated. It.
