How Ironic

Tech

So I idle in some IRC rooms (kinda like chat rooms for those of you that don’t know) and a guy I know posted a comment his girlfriend made.

My gf was asking about the zune and when she heard that you can’t use songs you bought on the itunes store on the zune, she said “that’s completely stupid! why would people even buy something that doesn’t let you listen to your music?”

Now this is humerous for multiple reasons. But for the average consumer its a perfectly normal feeling. The reason us tech people “in the know” would find this funny, is because when you make your purchase of an itunes song, you are, at a basic level, locking yourself into how you can listen to your music. Only on a certain computer and only on Ipods. Only Ipods YOU own at that. It may be too complicated to explain in the short time I have allotted myself to post, but some of you may find the comment funny.
