April fools!

Online sales of stolen gear prompt call to list serial numbers

Serial #s rule.

It would be fine if serial #s were required for TV, PC, etc type of posting.

A manufacturer could determine if that was a legit item if if it was bogus they could ask eBay to contact the poster as to why it was removed.

It would be great for say HP to find a laptop that is new and was stolen from their shipping dock.

We need to terminate the allowance of crime in the name of free speech.

Advertising Royalties

Seems they missed the Apple royalties from his iPod dance. Those must total up to a huge sum. ;->

Zune DRM stripped

I got one from M$

I went to a M$ .Net meeting and they wanted to pump #s in attendance. I was a winner with a Zune. Somebody else got a XBox 360.

Anyway it's not a bad little player. It does the RADIO, and that was a feature that was missing in the i land of players. Battery life is 4 hours of stored music files and 6+ of radio time.

I only have concerts from bt.etree.org that I rip to MP3. The hacking of purchased crap from M$ isn't part of my zune life.
