Yep! lol, that's what I just said

I mean, it's usable for basic stuff but you don't really want to use it unless you got a fast PC, I admit it, I did try the hacked version once because I wanted to see a few things and the damn thing doesn't load it's to heavy for my current specs.
Thats using VMware mind you.

I'm sure apple have better things to do, how ever the project 86 as itself, now that I am shocked, I think they were taken down once, but so far they have stayed up.

Apple seems to be much more lenient and uncaring about these issues. Microsoft is a paranoid psychobully. I mean, once upon a time they leaked the Vista skin and after 24 hours it was all over the Internet. The Microsoft team managed to cover all their bases for the accident and successfully removed all the traces of their skin everywhere: tech blogs, random Google blogs of semi-geeks, tech forums, and even the filesharing sites had it removed and said "Removed as of request from Microsoft"
Wouldn't really want Apple though... school experiences with the super outdated and slow ones made me hate it. But is VMWare good? It's pretty heavy though...

Default Is Mooza.com Better than Itunes.com?

Itunes.com sold over 5 Billion Songs?

Today I was reading Apple's Itunes.com Website Press Releases and they claim to have sold 5 billion songs online.

Okay, lets say I believe that is true (which I find very hard to do...) I seriously don't understand it. I mean is the Ipod that damn popular?

People can just as easily go to Mooza.com - Free MP3 Search Engine and download all your favorite mp3 music for free. So what is the incentive to pay for music?

I simply have no idea in the world why somebody would pay $1.99 for a song they can get just as easily for free?

Am I missing something? Perhaps somebody here can explain this...?

Mods - I apologize if I didn't post this in the correct thread.
Users - Please answer the poll. I really want to know if the latest trend is getting music for free or buying it.

5 billion is a lot of downloads, but it's not that much considering the number of Macs, iPods and iPhones sold. It represents a small minority of the total number of songs on these devices. Obviously Apple would prefer this number to be much higher.


Mooza.com, Torrent clients and other methods of getting "free" music are illegal and a form of stealing. While the chances of ever getting caught are slim, it's still ripping off music. Using services like this also open you up to security issues.

Post Irish In Wild West

Two Irishmen are in the Wild West. They enter Dodge City and notice a sign in a shop saying 'Indian scalps-$10 each.' They enter the shop and are given a rifle, ammunition and told that for every Indian scalp they bring back they will get $10.So they go out into the desert and hide behind a rock beside an oasis in the hope that an Indian would come to drink. Sure enough, 10 minutes later a brave approaches on his horse and gets down to drink. Paddy shoots the Indian and goes over to scalp him.Just as Paddy gets out his knife, Murphy looks up and sees up and sees Chief Geronimo and his 100,000 braves on a ridge. "Don't look now" says Murphy, "But we are about to become millionaires!".................................... .................................................. ..........................................world of warcraft gold| wow power leveling| Buy WOW Gold, Cheap WOW Gold, WoW Gold, World of Warcraft Gold|world of warcraft gold|wow gold
