Posted by Jonathan Flowers on May 12, 2009 | Comments
It’s not too late to get in on the Zune craze that is currently sweeping the country and taking the world by storm (it’s not actually doing that, but GET EXCITED people!). Â The grand old poobah of the Zune line, the 30GB is available at Woot! for $79.99 + $5 shipping in black, white, and sweet beautiful brown. Â That’s really not a bad price just to buy one as a backup or a gift. Â

Crap
Posted by Jonathan Flowers on Nov 18, 2008 | Comments
Yeah, so this happened. My beautiful brown Zune all of the sudden developed what looks like an impact fracture in the screen, even though I know it never sustained any impact. I left it sitting in my car in a hard-shell case one evening for maybe an hour, and when I came back out and powered it on, this is what I saw. The only thing I can think of is that it was kind of cold out (low 40s) and...
Free Music From Adult Swim
Posted by Jonathan Flowers on Oct 30, 2008 | Comments
We’ve told you about free music for your Zune before, and we know you love it, so why stop now? Adult Swim, the decidedly more “grown up” group of cartoons on the Cartoon Network is once again giving away free music you can’t get anywhere else. They’ve got a whole section of music, mostly free (and a few not), but here are the two latest free albums.

Tons of Goodies in the Marketplace
Posted by Jonathan Flowers on Sep 16, 2008 | Comments
I tell ya, the Zune team is just too good to us. Not only did ALL hardware versions get the amazing 3.0 update today for free (suck it, iJerks!), but they let loose a whole big bunch of half-priced and free music, free videos, AND a trial audiobook from Audible. This is even better than all the free music I found at Amazon not long ago. Here’s a rundown of everything that’s available now (and you’d...

Free Mp3s at Amazon…A Ton Of 'Em!
Posted by Jonathan Flowers on Sep 02, 2008 | Comments
Who doesn’t like free music? Anybody? No? I didn’t think so. Free ANYTHING is almost always good (minus scabies, handfuls of horse dung, and used toilet paper), and when it’s something you actually like, like DRM-free music…it’s like your birthday on top of Christmas wrapped up in a bachelor party and covered with hundred dollar bills. Delicious.

Weekend Comment Diversion: Zune With a Mini-Projector?

Samsung Plans to add 3M Mini-Projector to New Handsets
"3M has been touting its mini-projectors for some time now (along with many others), but it looks like they’re now finally a bit closer to landing in an actual product, with Samsung reportedly set to begin offering them later this year. What’s not clear, unfortunately, is whether the projectors will actually be built into the cellphones (and if so,...
Zune on Zune Action
Posted by Jonathan Flowers on May 12, 2008 | Comments
It appears that a single male Zuner out in LA is looking for some hot music-swapping action on Craigslist. Though it’s listed in the "strictly platonic" section, we all know what can happen when things in The Social heat up. It starts innocently enough, with "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "Wouldn’t It Be Nice" but things escalate quickly to "My Humps" and...
Zune 2.5 Update: The Little Things
Posted by Jonathan Flowers on May 10, 2008 | Comments
With the new Videos section, auto-playlists, metadata improvements and a more social Social, there’s a lot of big changes to love about the 2.5 spring update. But what I appreciate just as much from the Zune team is the little interface and usability touches that make the experience of using the Zune software that much more enjoyable. The great thing about them is that they’re never really publicized or...
