In a letter published by BusinessWeek, Buxton says: “Great design is as much about prospecting in the past as it is about inventing the future. This

Things were messed up when the president elected was seen using a Microsoft Zune. People were like: why is he not using an iPod? Many Apple fanboys were shocked by the news that he uses a Zune now. According to Obama’s spokeswomen: Elected president usually uses an iPod but she didn’t knew where the hell that Zune came from. …And this sucking news was widespread like fire by media as they are saying “Obama is using a Zune instead of an iPod…terrorist might be involed” … Which I think was

Barack hasn’t taken office yet, and is already in the middle of a scandal, of the mp3 variety. While he apparently is an avid Mac fan, he was spotted yesterday with a Zune… reportedly. For 24 hours, the blogosphere was lit up regarding the incoming President’s music player choice. After all, could the liberal Obama really use a corporate Microsoft product? I hadn’t really thought about it, but perhaps folks had been reading too much into the iPod choice, and now they were already disill

It is like fighting an army with a pea-shooter. Microsoft (MSFT) is chaning the subcription model for its Apple (AAPL) iPod knock-off, the Zune. According to Reuters, MSFT “announced a new music subscription plan for owners of its Zune players, which would allow them to keep 10 tracks per month and add them to their permanent collection.”. With 180 million iPods sold around the world since it was introduced by Apple six years ago, Microsoft would have to give away music for free to get any su
