Zune Boards - Wall Street Journal Poll: Mac Fans Surge to Skew Vote! (PLEASE see the EDIT!!)

Wall Street Journal Poll: Mac Fans Surge to Skew Vote! (PLEASE see the EDIT!!)

Written by ACE

Thursday, 22 November 2007

Zune owners! There's drama over on the Wall Street Journal Poll! MacDailyNews reported (or whined) about the apparent omission of the iPod as a holiday gift (who wants another iPod this Christmas?) while, much to their disgust, Zune was given a place in the poll, which sent thousands of angry iFans voting and complaining to the WSJ how it could omit their beloved player! Now it's our turn! Read on...

At the time of the report , only 647 votes (51%) had gone up for the iPhone (which has now been changed to iPhone and iPod) while Zune held its ground at 101 (8%) amidst some heavy competition.

maccrap

Since the Mac report, nearly 6,000 more votes have been counted for the iPhone/iPod selection while only 60 votes came in for the Zune.

maccrap2

Do I smell a war? You know what to do.... Go HERE to vote! Let's show these iFans they can't shut the Zune down!

EDIT: Our own Gregory has written a program for an auto voter!! Click HERE to get it and start voting BIG TIME!! How mad will those iFanboios be when they see the Zune win this poll! hahaha!

i just did!
were upto 190 something.
but to tell the truth, i dont really care about polls like that.
Im just happy knowing that all those idiots who buy ipods will have to put up with looking like conformist losers and then will also have to pay more money to get another one after its programmed breakage.
Apple Sucks.

"Apple Sucks."

I'm with you on that one! iPods were great when they first came out, I never owned one because I had my iRiver back then (still missing that SOS Wow sound, but hey, oh well), but now you got iFans with their iToys that go up to people saying their iPod is the greatest...so where's the factor that says "This is me?" if a few dozen other people have one? Zune has that factor with costomizable backgrounds, and to go a step further, tattoos for that player, FREE!

"Apple Sucks." Is that an opinion or a fact? Let me answer that, FACT!

That's bull. The iPod and iPhone should not be under the same category, that's going to make the poll extremely biased.

"That's bull" thats right the ipod and iphone should not be under the same category.

why is WSJ using the Zune 30 as the image rather than the new models...?

Guest User

The Ipood fans are so pissed off, hahahaha, because the new zunes are so much better than their crappy players.

Do I have to keep the auto voter maximized or can I have it minimized? Also, does it help to have more than one open? I am a warrior in this battle.

You can have more than one tab open with this program...and if you go into the forums....there is a maximized prog for this.....and there is an error you may see after about the 400th vote.....watch out, but it's harmless.....

People should copy the code from the auto voter into there own websites to get help from inocent website viewers. Might help alot.

The zune is rising, probede such stereotypes, they buy the ipod, because everybody has it, and when taken into their hands repent and attack the zune, long live the zune, explaining that as they finished in walmart, by having very few are thousands.

well the ifanboys fired up their auto voter again, They are rising at a 30 vote higher spread per refresh than the zune.

Guest User

Well I just witnessed a 11000 vote increase in ten minutes[smiley=evil]

No Xbox? Oh well!

"Hey, you can vote as often as you want -- they don't check your cookies!"

Then I guess it's time for an AppleScript routine to vote repeatedly and automatically.

P.S. Nice work, Chris! Quote coming from the Mac Daily news site

We definitely need more people running the auto voter! If you're reading this and not using it, USE IT!!! They remain about 40,000 votes ahead!!!

Guest User

| 66.233.38.xxx | 2007-11-23 02:33:20

We need more voters! The highest percentage I've seen for the Zune is 29%, but now it's decreased to 23% (last time I checked).

I thinkk the iFans are doing the same thing on a larger scale. They are suddenly way ahead

misterk

| 71.252.44.xxx | 2007-11-23 06:05:52

iFans are crazy people...they're fanatical. I could care less about a damn poll, I choose what product I want & I happen to like the Zune.

It has been a runaway victory for the “iPhone or iPod” category. Note that this category started off as iPhone only, but was changed into iPhone or iPod late Wednesday amid a surge in reader demand and write-ins for the iPod. Also, in a highly improbable move, Zune surged from less than 1% through most of the polling to 28% at the end. As always, these votes are nonscientific.

LOL. Those cheaters
