Christmas leaves electric feeling
A few days ago I asked Nuggets guard Chauncey Billups what made his most memorable Christmas memorable.
Billups told me about his green Incredible Hulk Big Wheel - one he might still be riding today if he could.
Something to do with growing into the size of an NBA All-Star point guard.
Billups' story took me back to Christmas Day, 1971. Many of you will recall that on that day, the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs played the longest game in NFL history.
I recall it as being the day Santa brought my first and only electric football set.
This was big deal, because I finally got a toy that required use of an electrical socket. For years we weren't allowed near an electrical socket, because as kids we did dumb things like stick pennies into that socket.
Something to do with shock value.
At age 11, I had finally reached manhood. No more game boards and dice. No more C, D, AA or AAA-sized batteries. I've got a Coleco football set. It doesn't serve a purpose unless you plug it into the wall.
Other kids in the neighborhood already had an electric football set. Mine was the quietest football set in the world, a silent 'bzzzzzzz' to it. And smart too. My players didn't get dizzy from circling in place.
One team sported red pants with white tops. The other had yellow pants and blue tops. They were a plastic version of the Chiefs and Chargers.
But me being in Ohio, the red and white squad represented Ohio State, with Rex Kern at quarterback. The blue and yellow squad was the University of Washington. I saw Huskies QB Sonny Sixkiller on a Sports Illustrated cover. He became my favorite - player and name.
It was hard to tell whose arm was stronger, Sixkiller or Kern, especially when you're flinging footballs - a.k.a. small chunks of magnet - at the base of make-believe receivers.
Unfortunately Jay Cutler wasn't around to settle the argument.
I played with that electric football set every day, until Dad finally pulled the plug.
Something to do with the light bill.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Where does this leave consumers? All we have strengthened our pockets and the economy shows no light at the end of the tunnel. Retailers are preparing for tight budgets. They bring the best values in the early days, but argue that look that Faux Handbag . There are new lines of the value of celebrities are taken to the shelves. You can see, Fergie, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, Kelly Ripa and Reba McEntire with new lines of shoes. If only sky high platforms? No, fortunately.

I have been during the Corvette hobby because 1979 when i was 18 and bought a 427-400HP 2-top convertible 1968 Corvette for $2800 bucks, the detail only experienced 18000 miles and experienced a custom metal flake paint position. I owned it two many years and traded it. Was it matching numbers? Who cares, I had entertaining that has a employed car I obtained reasonably cheap. I've owned 14 Corvettes due to the fact, most recently a 1978 Pace Car L-82 4-speed with all original items and build sheet and no a person would feel me it had been the true deal. Each and every 1 has become so burned by clones while in the information, that even proper cars with documentation get snubbed. I nearly wore the assemble sheet out showing it on the nay-sayers. Now I have a twenty,000 mile original 1976 Corvette base engine automatic that the complete planet is fine with, as it poses no threat towards the established earth of substantial greenback muscle cars. And it however draws a group for the gas station, (its Corvette Orange Flame) and more fun to drive than any of my "collector cars" as it is actually only a regular Corvette (as if any are just regular Corvettes). I'm now again to owning entertaining with my Corvette like I did in 1979!

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
