Well, based on the chicken's suit, I don't think that rooster will lay any golden eggs.

This idea (combined with others swirling around in my head) made me think of a Harvard Business School case I studied as a B-School undergrad (the Prof. chose it just to be nutty--he was one of the best professors I've ever studied under).
It was case number 9-575-072--Optical Distortion, Incorporated. I still have my copy of it. I couldn't bring myself to throw it away (figured it would make for some interesting conversation if nothing else).
The gist of the case is that some enterprising chap (who was REALLY good at thinking outside the box) got the idea to market red contact lenses to chicken farmers (of breeders, egg-layers, or those who raised poultry for meat).
Chickens form a pecking order based on the size of their combs. Those at the bottom of the pecking order don't produce (or don't grow) at the same rate as those at the top of the order. The idea of the red contact lens was to make the comb as "invisible" to chickens as possible, thereby subverting the pecking order, which in turn makes all chickens more productive.
I don't know whether they ever made it to market or not--but with this fool Congress & this fool president, I wonder if they won't mandate that we wear red (or more likely rose-colored) contact lenses so we can see the world as mucked up as they do.
THE INDIRECT MORAL OF THIS STORY:
Progressivism only works when imposed on a closed system by a more powerful force from outside the system (& that isn't the way it works in this country--YET).

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

I feel like you could probably teach a class on how to make a great blog. This is fantastic! I have to say, what really got me was your design. You certainly know how to make your blog more than just a rant about an issue. Youve made it possible for people to connect. Good for you, because not that many people know what theyre doing.

Aw, it was an incredibly attractive blog post. In thought I'd really like to put in writing similar to this in addition – taking time as well as actual work to create a very good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate much and for no reason seem to get something finished.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.
