Flickr Find: Microsoft Amnesty Bin for iPods

For goodness sake Microsoft. If you're going to make a joke, make it a good one.

Think Different for a change.

HA! I think its a cool idea. But i doubt any of those ipods work, not including perhaps the employees ones. They'd all be old ones and people just thought, "all well, i'm buying a new one anyway, and this doesnt work so who cares". Apple should make a microsoft bin, then we'd see who's who.

I'm not the biggest fan of M$, but apple simply isn't the king of the hill by far.. you mac freaks are funny as hell though.. I'll stick with my modded xp installation & dual boot linux thank you very much.. gets the job done.

Why does everything have to be a frackin bitch fest between Microsoft & Apple fanboys.
I couldn't give a crap about the companies, I buy and use whatever I think will give me the most bang for my buck. I happen to love my PC running Vista & XP, never had any problems but I love my Nano. What's the big deal.
Cool bin though!

/sigh

My iPod (3g) had poor battery life, so I gave it to my brother and bought a Zune. I don't know why everyone rags on it, oh yeah, fanbois. It's kind of silly it doesn't have mac support, but I'm not a dedicated mac user yet, I wouldn't mind having a PowerMac with dual 23" cinema displays, but I built a PC for the cost of the monitors. Granted it's not a dual processor machine, but it can do anything I ask of it, play the latest video games at 80+ fps.

After a few months with the Zune, I do like it more than an iPod. I won't be upset if there is a 2nd Gen Zune out soon, I'd like MS to backup their "promise" of comping out with some updates to add a few features to the first gen though. I like the Zune Marketplace better than iTunes, and I like the functionality of the player. If apple comes out with a widescreen iPod with like 25 hour battery life and 40gb or more for under $300, I'd switch back.

JeffDM,
I AM NOT SAYING COMP IS BETTER!!! Jeezus! I'm saying they both suck, ok? That's what I'm saying. They both suck for different reasons, We're not going to go into them. I swear to god! You know, you guys are the difference between reading something, and comprehending it. Why are you guys all up on Best Buy's teet anyway? Pretty much all of your "brick and mortar" electronics stores are crapping their pants because Wal-Mart is eating their lunch! (I am not saying that is a good thing) Wal-Mart just got Dell on their band wagon, and it's only gonna get worse for the other guys from there. Now, can we get over this?!?!? What I was saying is that competitors poke fun at each other!!! That's all! I don't need to have a philosphical discussion with you over Comp's business practices compared to "Company X". I USED TO WORK THERE, which intones that I don't anymore, and am therefore not a big fan.

...nobody has thrown away the earphones?

I like how they have a mirror to make it look like there are more than there really is.

Fred; I'm sorry, but I think to suggest that CompUSA is better than Best Buy would be incredibly, delusionally biased, something I would expect from a management that doesn't know what it was doing. I shopped at both places but I haven't seen a Best Buy store that was as bad as the local CompUSA. Every part of the customer service, from purchase to return was better at Best Buy. CompUSA makes the buyer fill out a form for a return, Best Buy doesn't. CompUSA had more onerous rebate policies. A lot of the time, the iPods were kept back in the "Apple" corner, rather than in the media player section where it makes sense to put them, rather than give me the fleeting impression that they don't sell iPods. Best Buy doesn't seem to be going anywhere either that I can tell, despite your claim that they are circling the drain.

If they don't want it I'll take it :D
