I think that both iPod and Zune fanboys are stupid people with no self respect. Their interests move back and forth, if they have a Zune they support that ’till the death, and ditto for the iPod. I had a Zune, but I switched to iPod because the Zune doesn’t have 160gb out yet. And I have more than 80gb of music.

i don’t consider my self as a fanboy for either. I like different things about both, if they added those too players together i would have a true love, but that will never happen. I would of course not want that to happen because when the too are competeing it brings better deals to us. I don’t think it was right to cheat no matter if your side was losing. You will know that zune is better than ipod when the votes start to show it. Until then let all the apple fanboys think that ipod is better then zune. I think when microsoft releases the next generation of zune, alot of apple fanboys will switch sides. Then you can say you wre with zune threw the thick and thin.

First off, Zune didn’t start this, Mac did, they had 650 votes after almost 24 hours, 48 hours in they were at 63k….then the members of the zune fanbase came back with a attack of there own on the polling. I do think it was stupid that any of this was done, but I don’t really care.

I am glad my auto voter worked :)

I really don’t think it was a bad thing to do, shows those iPod owners right.

Well, I can say that I had seen the iPod fans cheated first. Really? 60,000 votes in the first 48 hours? There aren’t that many people who read the WSJ….
And MacDailyNews was the one who set the little war off first…..read here: http://macdailynews.com/index.php/weblog/comments/15587/P50/

Retaliation was in order after they decided to skew the vote…..

Why would someone want to alter the results of a poll by cheating?

Exacly Jazim, I thing this could’ve been avoided easily but to get 28% the same way the Ipod got its 62% shows tu zune has many fallowers.

I don’t condone this either, but I would think an organization like the Wall Street Journal could afford the resources to create a poll that would thwart this kind of action, or at the very least make it harder. At least it shows the WSJ’s Apple-fanboy "Uncle Mort" that the Zune has a big fanbase and not to take it lightly.

Chris, do you know if Zune will add audio books capability at a later date?

Thanks,

I didnt like how the ones that put the poll up said "an improbable raise on the zune with 28%" but didnt mention anything about the fact that Ipod got houndred of thousands of votes too..
