That's hilarious!!!! They called iPod users sheep and copy everything Apple does. THEN they have the audacity not to pay license fees for using MPEG files?

Looks like iPod Killer #458432024 is gonna take it harder than Dell.

Ah young man, you can't feed 6 billion people on open formats and freeware.

I mean, we can't feed 6 billion anyway, so I mean 5 billion. Damn humanity keeps over breeding without thinking of the consequences.

Freeware, no. But I'm not so sure about open formats. The only business model open formats actually preclude is locking your customers into your own format, and there are plenty of successful commercial software packages that don't do that.
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

Meh, I've had problems with them.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

Mine started randomly corrupting all the data on it after 3-4 months.

We had a bunch of people come into the uni lab when I worked there, whose USB drives would lock up OS X's filesystem driver such that every app would be beachballed until you unplugged the drive. What brand were they? SanDisk.
