>>Play me in Gears of War 2 and win a free Zune! << Why are you punishing people for playing against you?

"Why are you punishing people for playing against you?" They have games on Mac?

I won a Zune 80 (with premium headphones - thought I'd point that out) at the Intel Channel Conference recently. Nice product. I haven't activated it yet though - just too busy at the shop lately. I also won a Microsoft MCE keyboard (the older XP MCE kind) and remote at the Innovative Desktop Workshop (IDW) seminar too. They gave out tons of stuff by drawing tickets, business cards, and other contests. The IDW was one of 3 seminars you could go to in the afternoon - the only one you had to pay for. Admission was $349, unless you went to the marketing or mobile platform workshop, otherwise the entire conference was free. The $349 was for a learning workshop on building Mini-ITX systems with Intel's new boards. It included a DG45FC Mini-ITX mobo, 2GB RAM, a Core 2 Duo E8500 (~3.13GHz), a 250GB SATA HDD, an LG Blu-ray/HD-DVD reader/DVDRW Combo drive, and an In-Win BM639 Mini-ITX chassis. You got to take it home too. It was a good deal. The funny thing is, they're teaching this stuff like it's brand new, but I've been building systems just like that for more than a month now. Same motherboards, same chassis. They're very popular. They had catered breakfast and lunch, and every vendor had at least one giveaway. Intel gave away what seemed like several dozen motherboards & processors (both server and desktop), RAID controllers, server network cards, and a grand prize drawing of a not-yet-released Core i7 965 processor with the new matching X58 motherboard, worth $1600 at retail. The partner vendors included all the major motherboard makers (Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, ECS, etc.), and they gave away $600 video cards, motherboards, software, and the like. Microsoft was there with a small table, as were most of the hard drive makers, and a few other companies offering SMB reseller services. It was awesome! I certainly got my money's worth, and then some. There are many that didn't pay a cent, but still walked away with huge prizes in hand too.

COD5 for the Win!!!

"Can you use a Zune yet as a USB hard drive or do you still need to hack the registry to do so?" Dunno - still too busy selling Windows Vista 64-bit PC's.

"Can you use a Zune yet as a USB hard drive or do you still need to hack the registry to do so?" Tell me how to do this with an ipod touch, thanks.

I dont think its possible on a iTouch, at least on my wife's its not via iTunes. On my nano it is, and I know on my older iPod's it was in Windows or OSX. I dont use it since I have a 8gig nano, and a USB flash drive that is as big. The "Enable disk use" is not in iTunes with her Touch. However if I had any kind of HD media player, 120gig Zune, I would want that option. I could sacrifice 10gig or more to have software I like lug around on CD/DVD today.

@mike Re Podcaster. I just don't know much about that story. Unlike others (and no I don't mean you!) I am not going to jump in with some knee jerk opinion. I would normally try to stay on topic but seeing as how nobody appears interested in Paul's prize I figured I might sneak something else in. Actually, I am not trying to turn the conversation towards the iPhone. My point is that Paul is consistently outraged by people allegedly distorting specific market share figures. My link to Paul's iPhone post is one of the best. In it he repeats, over and over, the fraudulent and deceptive practices that people employ in their attempt's to improve Apple's performance. He finishes off that post with this line: "That 17 percent figure is representative of only a very small portion of the overall smart phone market. It’s just not true" Well you know what, Paul didn't really know whether that figure was true or not. He just assumed that Apple couldn't be doing that well. He didn't try and find any other data or even consider other sales channels outside of 'retail'. He promotes his rational impartiality while often demonstrating the exact opposite. It's probably just a coincidence that the Canalys iPhone figure is 17%. It would be ironic if the figure that got Paul so upset about.. turned out to be even higher.
