I dont get it

The war in Iraq and Afghanistan is still raging (not to mention breaking the bank) and people now routinely refer to the opportunity lost in 2003 due to bad decisions. A new Defense Secretary gets confirmed. The so-called "outside panel" reports with 73 recommendations for Iraq moving forward.

But the number one news story on google is about some guy who froze to death in Oregon last month?! 2400 articles on this personal tragedy so far and growing...

Sometimes I just dont understand our priorities at all.

In a similar vein (but not as serious), I dont understand the fascination Apple users have with the Zune. There is a steady stream of articles about the Zune on Apple rumor/news sites. No reports about Creative. Few comments about Vista or Xbox but the Zune reports just keep coming and coming.

Sometimes I get the feeling that Apple fans just want to gloat about the iPod success and rub it in a little on Microsoft. Microsoft may have 95% of the OS market but Apple sells more iPods in a week than Microsoft hopes to sell in a year. Ha! Double Ha!

But seriously, who gives a shit? Enough with the Zune reports.
