It was quite fitting, that, after yesterday's rant against the iPod and exuberant praise of the Microsoft Zune 120GB, I was thinking to myself, playing around with the Zune: "Oh, wow, this could be a pretty nice (and capacious) replacement for my 32GB iTouch!"
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it was then that I had found that the Zune software outright refuses to install on my WinVista Ultimate laptop, referring me to the elusive error 0x8007000e. Disappointed, but not yet disheartened, I brought the Zune home and tried installing it on my WinXP SP3 machine. It installed beautifully, but Zune.exe closed immediately after being run. Fuck me.
Remembering my trials with iTunes, I quickly uninstalled everything, packed up the Zune, returned it the same day and bought a camera (the Casio Exilim EX-S10RD - for a comfortable $239.99; more specs here). I think I'll take a break from portable media players for now (I still have my 30GB Creative Zen Vision kicking around somewhere)...then again, I'm just about ready to cream my pants over this thing. Yes, I'm fucking nuts. Deal with it. ;)
Sup homes.
Did you get rid of your iTouch?
/me cradles 16 gig iphone
Yes, I did. I regret doing it, but I'm just not a Mac person, I guess - and I still can't afford the iPhone - and its monthly plans (plus, the last thing I need right now is a three-year contract). If someone offered me an iPhone for $300, without a contract, and with a more flexible data plan, I'd jump on it like a dog in heat.
Anyways, how have you been, man? Am I still on your RSS feed harvester?
You are indeed.
iPhone is expensive, but i just couldn't pass it up. It's a fusion of all my dreams in one device. it's not perfect, but it's an improvement :)
Not much has changed. Working for the man trying to make a buck. Looking forward to the great depression, polishing my guns and stocking up on food and ammunition.
It's true. Like I said: $300 and $30-50 a month without a contract and I'd be all over it.
The man, eh? What exactly do you do, and where do you do it?
Heh. I think Mad Max might come true much sooner than we expected. Speaking of stuff to the max, do you think the Max Payne film is worth it? I loved the games.
