A COCK-UP on the Wal-Mart web site seems to have listed a price of $284 for Microsoft's answer to the iPod.

According to ABC, the price for the 30-gigabyte media player, Zune, would place it $16 below Apple's 30-gigabyte iPod offering.

Wal-Mart has since taken down the price and said that it was "incorrectly and inadvertently" listed. However most observers think that the price could probably be about right.

Zune has a larger screen than the iPod and built in wireless technology. But Apple fans dismiss the product, which can't run television shows or movies, as pretty pointless. Then again they would wouldn't they. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
