Half truths
I usually reserve my less musicy posts for my Tumblr, but this has to be an exception. RoughlyDrafted Magazine is one of the best written and researched technology blogs (although its author Daniel Eran Dilger does write about other things too). His latest post Why Microsoft’s Zune is Still Failing is an eloquent deconstruction of both the Zune and the ever-faltering-but-inexplicably-successful Microsoft empire, and includes this snippet of knowledge (my emphasis):
Today’s Zunes claim to uniquely provide wireless sync, but they require being plugged in order to do this! That means Microsoft’s wireless sync has as many wires as Apple’s USB sync, it’s just 20 times slower. That’s not an advantage nor a feature. It’s a marketing lie.
