Why?

Words almost fail me. How can a group of what must be fairly bright people come up with an idea like this and possibly think it might be succesful in a post-iPod world?

They might as well go out to the car park of their factory and burn several million dollars and save a lot of people a lot of effort. Madness!

Err....

I hope Mr Majid's employers don't read The Reg, or he's just blown the fact he's looking for a new job!

Have you ever considered....

.... turning off the PC & stepping out your (real) front door once in a while?

I really think maybe you are taking what is by your own admission a 'game' way too seriously.
