Am I An Apple Genius?

Yesterday I was on the north side of Indianapolis so I took advantage of the moment and stopped by the Genius Bar at the Apple Store here. I’ve been having problems with my iPod synching and someone said I should take it up there and see if they can revive it.
First I’ve got to […]

The Microsoft Zune music player has been out for awhile now and seems to be getting some fairly decent coverage by the folks at C/NET and other tech circles. The question is though, how does the average Joe feel about the Zune? Is it worth it? Can it measure up to the iPod in the […]

Zune Email Newsletter

I signed up for the Zune newsletter quite awhile back when the original website first popped up with the weird guy and the rabbit.
I just received my first e-mail newsletter from that sign-up. Technology and coolness aside, Microsoft could learn something from Apple about how to create a buzz around something that’s not yet available.
