Zune Reviewed

Ok, sorry this has taken so long, but between school and work, it’s been hard to do anything. I know there are tons of reviews for the Zune already out there but I just wanted to write one on my own.

First off the software took two or so lifetimes to install and update. When [...]

Safari Beta 3 for Windows?!?!

So now the Safari Beta 3 is alavible to all windows users, and I’m not to sure if my windows/linux comp will explode if I do this (I kid, I kid) but I’ll try it out for the sake of reviewing and being unbiased.

Leaked: Windows Live Messenger 8.5

Here are some pictures that I found from digg and a stumble

Microsoft’s response, specifically regarding the Apple / EMI [...]
