You saw DT this weekend? I hate your guts, man. :P

Incidentally, Jordan's a fan of some oddball instruments- I want one of these as soon as I have the ~$6K for a full-size one: Haken Audio Continuum

:mmm:

Oh, and Beeb, a force-eject script wouldn't help- the drive was physically damaged and needed to be replaced. ;)

the iPod Classic hasn't changed at all for a couple of years.

Exactly.  On release the Classic was at least as good if not slighlty better than the Zune.  Now it is plainly inferior.  Apple has taken its eyes off the core DAP functionality and put all its eggs into the iphone/itouch basket.

For a supposedly superior product then it is interesting that MS is discontinuing all Zunes and focusing their efforts solely on the Zune HD.   :huh:

On the one hand I probably ordered at a bad time - I placed my order the day before SL was "officially" released.  Lots of internet reports of people who pre-ordered well in advance getting the day of release.

But still - not shipping for a week seems poor to me.  :(

What the hell do you need 10 GB of RAM for? I can run Crysis on medium settings with 4.

Which does nothing to disprove the claim that the Zunes are better media devices. 

FWIW, I think it's a mistake.  They should at least keep the Zune 120, just like Apple should keep the iPod Classic.  Until there are 128GB devices out on the market, and they are affordable, there is still a place for high capacity hdd-based media players.

Make sure you update your version of Flash as soon as you install SL  :!:
