what bloody rubbish! Typical corporates acting anal as usual. Boo Hoo apple. So we know how to load songs onto our ipods other than using your crappy itunes!

And you making threats because of that??? WTF?? Are you 3 years old???

I had respect for Apple, but now I have to question that respect.

"I take the free speech rights of BluWiki users seriously," said OdioWorks owner Sam Odio, owner of OdioWorks.

I take it that he owns OdioWorks.

Great to see folks taking a stand against bullies.

Apple has been like this for years. People say MS is bad but Apples restrictive practices are far worse.

Vote with your wallet...

And people tell me I can't call Apple communist. HA.

People in East Germany had more freedom than Apple fanbois.

One day the fanbois will see the light. Till then I'll point and laugh.

Why don't people just buy a Zune or a Sansa. Is the iPod really that much better??
