Ok, I just have to comment. Does anyone else find it humourous that on the MacNN mainpage there has been a Napster ad? Especially since the service is totally non-mac. Even if I wanted to try it I can't.

I know the good people that run MacNN mostly don't have much control over the ads, but talk about missing the intended market.

if pc companies are going to pay macnn to advertise to a blind audience .. go ahead. i hope macnn makes out like a bandit. i'm contemplating whether or not i want to upgrade to a new pc in a year or two, or if i'll go all mac.. shrug
