1. Comment - Microsoft misjudges demand for new Zunes

   (Nov 20, 2007 - 5:12 PM)

   So hold on, let me resummarize. We have thus far:
   1. If you don't hate zunes, you're a fanboi
   2. If you do hate zunes, you're ignorant
   3. If you like some other player, we ignore you
   4. If you're pitdingo, you fail at reading comprehension and succeed at exaggeration and flaming
   5. If you like iPods, you're a 'blind follower'
   
   Starring: Use of the terms "fanboi", "M$ drone", insults about age.
   
   Anything I missed? Is there some reason to fight over which three-inch piece of plastic and electronics you prefer?
   
   I mean, they still *do* let you choose which one you buy, right?

   Uh, almost every kind of tech gadget you get will have copies that malfunction. The bugs get patched.

3. Comment - Mozilla: Firefox 3 bug claim 'horses**t'

   (Nov 16, 2007 - 2:29 PM)

   Frankly, Asa Dotzler is correct - while "only 20%" of the current 700 bugs may, in fact, be fixed by release, this does not mean that "20% of the bugs within firefox 3 will be fixed".
   
   Why? Because, as Dotzler said, they've already fixed over 11,000 bugs. 20% of 700, or 140, means that they will have 560 unfixed.
   
   560/11,700 does not equal 20%. Not even close.

4. Comment - Warner Music CEO: 'We were wrong'

   Amen. I could say something callous like "Why didn't you notice this two years ago, you idiot", but progress is progress, and it takes guts to stand up and say "hey, what we're doing doesn't work."
