Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Not only will the Zune not play Microsoft’s own DRM it wont be mac compatible. At least it comes in brown.

[I had a longer post but a zune site that I loaded crashed firefox (1.5)]

Hope it wasn't my site that crashed you! Anyway, too bad they dont want to convert Mac users.

Dan

Yes, of course it was on a mac. I don't use inferior products unless I have to.

Zune: It was comingzune.com that go me, that big flash ad.

Man, it's too bad your superior product seems to crash so much. It's especially odd, since I have several computers which run "inferior" operating systems that never crash.

Dan

That's strange, Firefox crashed on my Windows boxes way when I used Win. every day for work. But since it's firefox's fault I guess that's the problem with open source, you can't control the quality from one platform to another. ;)

Anyways, firefox 3 is going to be great on the mac since it's not going to use XUL but cocoa and will hopefull fix these memory leaks and wierd cpu bugs. Or there's always camino or firefox that don't have extensions.

JaredB

Somehow I don't think it's Firefox's fault either. I've been using it for a long time and it doesn't crash my machines... maybe you just do some funky web surfing :)

Dan

You're crazy perception amazes me. But it probably does have something to do with the pages I go to.

I should borrow your computer for a week and see if firefox crashes on me, it probably would. It might be because you use Linux as your main web surfing OS and firefox on Linux is better.

JaredB

Nah, unfortunately I still need to use Windows as my primary OS. I have both on here, but I'm using XP more than Linux right now.

Did you change back to the .org URL by default again?

Dan

You forgot that I have two sites that are mirrored to the same tables? .ORG and .COM are the same sites but different themes and different urls/permalinks. I can't get rid of my PageRank entirely. But if you did remember and you ask for some other reason .ORG is my default for posting and for outside links, the .com is for only you and the few others who know, so they don't have to see ads and stuff.
