Steve Jobs Bashes Zune

[Darth Camel]

Honestly, does this really matter? The man wears the same thing over and over again. Those same jeans with that same turtleneck. I refuse to listen to a man who only owns one set of clothing.

I really doubt that. Apple has built up a nice little monopoly in the MP3 market. However, they were once dominating the computing world a long time ago too... Overall, I think people are more aware of Ipod alternatives, which is a good thing.

I think Zune fans take this stuff more seriously than anyone who actually deals with the Zune itself (developers, Bill Gates, etc.). Seriously, I'm sure he said it with a grain of salt and I doubt him or Bill Gates have even had an afterthought about the remark. It's business. Slamming your competition is pretty common.

Yeah, but when a skinny nerdy guy says it it's much more funny.

I was surprised when I read about it, but I didn't think people would really get upset. Companies bash each other all the time. I figured everyone was used to it...

People are very protective of their Zunes. The surprising part is that Steve Jobs has been saying stuff like this a lot recently. He did the same thing about RIM.

Research in Motion... Uh, the company that makes Blackberry phones. Obviously, Apple is trying to market the iPhone to businesses, thus directly going against RIM.

Oh, well that makes perfect sense now .

The cockiness of those apple jerks really piss me off, not to dis on mac users but they are usually really stuck up about there macs and how much better OS 10 is better than vista. It possibly is but, when have windows and Zune users ever been such jerks to these people?

This is what you do with money... pretend you're a cartoon

By showing his insecurities, people who actually know he said this might be tempted by Zunes if Apple's worried

Let's hope that Microsoft does not retaliate

We can leave mudslinging to the politicians

Oh god, I know this really difficult person who's so pro-Apple, there's no point of return for her. Try asking Apple fanboys/girls to list the advantages of an iPod over a Zune, it's funny to hear them say the same aesthetic stuff over and over again.
