It looks like one lucky user "accidentally" got the Zune 2 software update a little early thanks to a supposed mishap in Windows Update.

Is Copying Music You Own Stealing?

Many of us buy CDs and rip the music to our computers so that the songs can be put on a portable device like an iPod, Zune, etc. Many of us also do the reverse and purchase songs online, and then burn them to a CD so that they can be listened to in the car, or anywhere else. Neither of those situations in my book, is considered stealing.

Woot Mocks Jobs’ Open iPhone Letter

First of all, Woot has the Microsoft Zune 30GB Digital Media Player as their deal of the day today for $129.99 plus $5 shipping - not a bad deal. The last time they sold the Zune, they offered it for $149.99, so it's $20 bucks cheaper. That's not what this post is about though, it's about the product information to describe the Zune which is hilarious.

Microsoft Tries to Buy Their Way Into iPod Market

Thus far, Microsoft hasn’t had too much luck digging into the iPod market with the Zune, but this may change soon, at least a little. A patent application recently filed reveals that owners of the Zune will be able to get paid for sharing their music. Not a bad deal, right?
