My Zune still works fine and I'm typing this on a first gen SurfacePro, some products that do their job well just don't sell (in this case because of the worlds worst marketing).

No. They offer unappealing "healthy" food that mostly is thrown away.
I don't have thumbs, you insenstive clod!
But I feel like I died a little reading crap like this on Slashdot.
Sounds like a grab on the part of law enforcement for more power and control. It's the boogie-man of the day.
