    The way they have been acting and I think will act warrants a new thread.

    Oil prices are going through the roof.

    I've been reading some pretty interesting stuff this morning and from what I've gathered Israel is going balls out over the weekend and that things could look much different monday morning.

    I drive a sedan.

    I want to stick it to all those who drive these big, honking SUVs that get only 15mpg. :icon_mrgreen:

    EDIT:

    Maybe then Congress will actually get off their asses and do something, like make it mandatory that all (passenger) vehicles get AT LEAST 22 mpg.

    Beautiful market if you depend on T's. When things are down for everyone else, things are up for me....sad but true.

    They are getting slapped in Europe though. The recent rulings forcing them to open their iTunes being one of them.

    I for one would never buy an iPod. I get more for my money from a Creative Zen.

    Once Apple is forced to fully open iTunes so that their downloads can work on ANY portable media player, you'll see the sales of iPods decrease.

    That's it... "kids".

    Adults and people in the know, know just how crappy iPods are. Their smaller form factor is about all they have going for them.

    Hell, on C|Net and other technogeek sites they discussed how crappy the music comes from an iPod compared to other portable media players.

    There's something about the decoder in those things that leaves quite a bit to be desired.

    Once iTunes is fully open to all media players, you'll start seeing a mass exodus to OTHER players.

    It's OK. Still a little buggy.

    I'd stick with a Creative Zen, or Zen:M (if you want to play movies), until they spend a year or so working the kinks out.
