Don't buy the Microsoft Zune
If you've read my Uncle Mark 2007 Gift Guide, you already know this, but I made a special recommendation for readers not to buy Microsoft's new music player, the Zune.
Yesterday Cory wrote that others are making the same recommendation. From Boing Boing: Zune is a failure:
Writing in the Chicago Sun-Times, Andy Ihnatko unloads on the Zune with both barrels, calling it a "complete, humiliating failure" and a "colossal blunder," because Microsoft has taken the user out of its design considerations and put the music industry (in the person of Universal's Doug Morris, "a big, clueless idiot") in their place.
