Winamp?

[Anonymous Coward]

I think my grandparents use to use that back in the early twentieth century...

Windows ME

""Using it with third-gen iPod and Windows ME," wrote Brian Cape in the Winamp forum. "Absolutely superb, no problems at all." "

No problems at all with Windows ME? It's a miricle!

It's nice to see dumb people self filtering themselves out of the iPod user base.

It's nice to see that assholes aren't however.

Yes, because a user who doesn't know how to copy the contents from their iPod is somehow savvy enough to ditch Windows Media Player in favor of Winamp.

A poster who can't tell the difference between Windows Media Player and iTunes is hardly in a position to comment on the savviness of others.

I don't really *get* the whole Ipod thing (why all the fuzz over a simple music player?)

Because ITS MAED BY TEH APPAL!!!!1!one! Obviously anything that ITS MAED BY TEH APPAL!11one!!three! has to be the only thing in the entire world you should ever own. Even if it is overpriced, DRM crippled, uses a non-standard patent-encumbered format, requires software that only works on MacOS or Windows and is one big cross-promotional tie-in to an online music store that over-charges. It's ITS MAED BY TEH APPAL111oneone!!?seven! and that's all you need to know.

Dude, have you been living in a cave???? Haven't you seen those commercials with the cool shadows dancing in front of pretty colors? This is the best tech since Intel released the Blue Man Group.

Ipod wasn't really meant for those who understand DRM, vendor tie-down, or patent encumbered propietary formats. Its meant for joe-six-pack. However, once it became sooooo cool, even the /. crowd had to get one. I mean when living in your mothers basement, you REALLY cannot afford to let any chance to look cool pass you by ;-)

For a minute there I wondered why you posted that as AC, rather than yourself. Then I noticed you implied voluntarily having Metallica's St Anger on your computer ;)

As someone who did some Rocket Science at university, I'd have to say that it isn't exactly Brain Surgery.

Blue Man Group

[MexicanMenace]

Intel didn't release the Blue Man Group. They escaped on their own using an elaborate, yet pleasant sounding series of PVC-lined tunnels.
