That stupid Coming Zune website is the dumbest thing I have ever seen.

It's pretty ridiculous indeed.

True, but (at least in theory) there's no guarantee they will always allow you to burn to audio CD at all.

Ooooo good call

Apple's probably gonna release the 6th gen iPod to compete with M$.

This morning I was reading a Seattle Times article about a 'tech analyst' called Enderle who reported on Zune and the iTMS-like service that goes with it. Enderle says: Quote: …

Hopefully this will drive Apple's prices down to compete with Microsoft and its competitors. It might also force them to come out with something like the new touch-screen video ip…

MS knows exactly what it's doing. they know, in the short term, they will not knock the ipod out the box; they say they're in it for the long haul (they keep saying this!); thats t…

I don't think we should be laughing at this at all. MS has had a long time to sit and watch who succeeds and who fails. Granted it's been mostly Apple succeeding and everybody else…

Xbox a success?? By what measure?

Hi all I am trying to use my shiny new Intel iMac as a part-time web server. I couldn't get it to work and finally decided to call my ISP (Telus) to see if they were blocking port…

Common secondary ports are 81 or 8080, that I've seen and used.

Ok I'll give those a try. I know I'm going to need to configure Apache using terminal for the new port but I'm a total terminal newbie. If someone could give me keystroke by keyst…

Why would an ISP block THE PRIMARY WEB PORT? It doesn't make sense to me, unless they want you to use THEIR browser... This is odd as all get out.

It doesn't block outgoing requests only incoming.

Oh. Different issue, obviously. As noted previously, 81 and 8080 are commonly used alternates. There are also some dodges you can use through redirectors. However, if the ISP …

Oh absoulutely. I don't intend to open it to the general public. I only want to be able to access my music using iTunes Catalog at work when I am on midnight shift.
