It’s the aspect ratio of the video. I noticed it, too.

If he had a Zune HD and didn’t love it, then he has no credibility. No one doesn’t love the Zune HD if they actually owned one.

Who fucking recommended this? Seriously. MS didn’t “steal and hack around” ANYTHING. I’m sure you think so because of the terribly misleading wording in the verge article, though. Which is why we Tribers get so pissed off sometimes.

That’s another one – the blogosphere never gave the Zune software any credit.

Oh I remember that moment very clearly. I was all kinds of raging in the car (podcast). I almost said nerd-rage but honestly, it was just regular rage, because of the objectively shitty journalism, with snark added on top.

This is a good point. Maybe that will work.

How exactly did MS start this war? And please don’t tell me “Scroogled” because you have a very short memory.

And that phrasing was a bunch of biased horseshit. They didn’t work around anything. Not implementing an API that doesn’t exist is hardly a work around.

Dude. So they can say it’s not a usable platform. Because it doesn’t have an official Youtube app. This is obvious.

Let me guess – you gleaned this “fact” from the typically biased way this article was written, and believed it? Classic. No, literally – this is classic.

I love that quote. What a bunch of jack shit.

How it sounds: MS said….let’s see if we can hack a way to remove ads and be evil!

How it actually works: There is no API to enable advertising. It doesn’t exist publicly. Therefore, there is no way to enable ads. This is very different than “features that prevent ads from playing.” Not implementing an API that doesn’t exist is NOT a fucking feature. Goddamn…

Have you tried IE10 on a Win 8/RT touch device? It’s quite good.
