So Obama likes overpriced stuff .. yeeeeeeyyy

Who cares if he uses an Ipod or a Zune. These people who get pissed off over stupid things should grow up. Everyone is getting pissed off over something about Obama "he's not hiring enough minorities...waaaaaa", "he's using a Zune...waaaaa". Its sick people can be so dumb.

this is news how.....who cares what he uses if he wants to be a clone user then thats his business...to funny

Hopefully he isn't all talk/look without substances.

I guess the next top story will be if Obama craps out apple pie and has married the American Flag at least once.

Come on now, who cares what he uses?

I cant believe this actually made it into an article. What a massive waste of time on a scale of epic proportions.

If Obama cared about audio quality, he wouldnt use either. (Though I prefer zune over ipod just because of apples useless software)

I don't care what he uses. That socialist pig is going to ruin this country anyways. Much like the Clinton's did in the 90's by essentially mandating banks to give out home loans to low income families, which is the main reason we are in this financial sink hole right now...

Obama uses a Macbook right? Why/how would he use a Zune with a Mac? Besides, maybe the Zune was purchased for him by White-house security. I know many government institutions force employees to use company/government property such as phones, PDA's, etc.. so that they can be confiscated and examined at any time without any just cause. Works for normal people it should work for the president.

On the other side, I can believe mac morons (not all mac users, just the morons) would get in a fit over the type of player he uses. I mean, it was a Zune, not a Zen Player, sheesh.

I am sorry but how the hell is any of this news?

Anyway f**k the ipod and its non drag and drop ability!
Its all about the Zen!

The person that requested their vote back probably know that can't happen. I suggest that we try to honor his request to the best of our abilities. Since we can't take that vote back I think the next closest thing would be to make sure he never votes again. It's the least we can do for him and our country.

OMGz ... Obama uses Zune ... M$ gonna takes overz the world! OH NOEZ!!

Ah, can it, as much as I despise Microsoft (minus the XBOX 360), Obama has every right to use a Zune if he so choose to. What happened to America being the land of the Free? Geez, just calm down. The world's not gonna crumble because there's one less iPod user.

BFD. someone can say i cared enough to respond... BUT NO, i was logged in. so i might as well.

this won't make me like my zen any less

LMFWAO!!!! Americans are so stupid.. This country will fall apart because the black president was using a zune and not and ipod!!!!!!!!!!! LMFWAO!!!!! ohh this is too funny.. PLus that idiot that demanded his vote back! LMFWAO!!!!! Its a sad sad fact but obama voters are all idiots.. every.. last... one.... of..... them....... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA IDIOTS!!!!!

this is tabloid stuff. hehe

Yes, Obama can join the millions of other ipod sheep.

I have used a variety of mp3 players, and though no consumer electronics device is free of faults and problems, the iPod line has almost always done better for me. At the moment, I'm using an iPhone, and it's serving me incredibly well.

...but I have one question:

How does that define who I am? In what way should that make you look at me in a positive or negative light? I won't even ask the question, because I know a lot of you really are that shallow and stupid. Product loyalty to the point of trashing people who use other products simply on the basis of using them is completely absurd.

You'd figure that in the disinformation age people would have the intelligence to ferret out the crap and pay attention to the wealth of freely available information all around us. That is to say, no, not all people from the States are stupid (many are, many aren't, same as everywhere else), Macs are not god (just a different GUI, in all practical applications), Vista does not suck (same story as XP, it takes a while for stability issues to be worked out in such a wide-reaching OS that takes up almost the entire market, VS Apple's OS that has to be optimized for a very limited set of hardware and software), and iPods are not for fags (they're just well-supported through iTunes and peripherals, and have a great interface -- and isn't that what's important?).

Get over yourselves. I use my iPhone because it works for me, you go ahead and use whatever you like, and I don't think either of us should pay any mind to it.

In this 21st century consumer world, it's all about what product you support, not what your ideals are, and it's your brand choices that make you who you are, not what you're thinking. Way to go, morons.

What a waste of time/bandwidth, who cares

Breaking NEWS !!! OBAMA uses Calvin Klein underwear instead of Tommy Hilfiger's. Gees...there are some people that treats your criteria of choosing products as some Star Wars Light/Dark Side topic. I believe you're free to buy whatever electronic device you prefer. There are pros and cons in each product (ipod, sansa, zen, mozaic, gigabeat). THERE ARE A LOT OF MP3 and MULTIMEDIA PLAYERS that anyone can choose from. That's the coolest thing in the tech playground. IT would be really boring if everyone buys the same product (where's exclusiveness and uniqueness in that?). I mean, that's the greatest fact about the wide range of products available: resonance451 has an iphone, maybe speeddemon has a Zune, maybe the North Korean folk has a Sansa, maybe jaragon13 has a ZEN and maybe the editor uses an RCA LYRA !!

Let's see what's the next thing people is going to criticize about Obama's "technological lifestyle".

(LoL maybe Obama uses utorrent and we don't know a thing about it.)

Am I the only one that was actually happy about this?

It would have shown that Obama might not buy into the stupid elitism that Apple has gained through their marketing and prices.

Zune (or less well known Mp3 players) > iPod and it's evil conjoined twin, iTunes.

If Obama ever even rode shotgun in a non-American built vehicle I am sooo denouncing my citizenship!

i own a zune and think it superior to the ipod. I also voted for obama. so I'm a little disappointed. not that i have anything against the macworld in general. i think they are ok machines for most people who would rather pay extra money for style that is so omnipotent it has become uninteresting. so the value proposition is debatable but when it comes to mp3 player, zune kicks ipods butt anytime. and i think itunes sux and is slow. the zune s/w isn't amazingly fast but either but it scores more points in style and in some ways I find it more intuitive so i get what i want faster.

This whole thing shows how pathetic Apple fanboys are. They crashed a website over this and some moron wants to change his vote. People should be laughing at them for this. They really are a bunch of losers.

Mac fanboys need to give it a rest. their cult has gone way too far into crazyland.
