Hands On With The Zune HD

Microsoft Zune HD has hit the net with a bunch of early reviews. Some of the prominent online tech sites have gotten a chance to play with the device and they’ve written a few things about the device. Most of the reviews are positive and think the Microsoft Zune HD has a chance to compete with Apple’s iPod Touch.

Peter Ha, from CrunchGear, says the Mirosoft Zune is a wonderful device but doesn’t do anything special when comparing it to Apple’s iPod Touch. He also points out that he didn’t get a chance to play with the latest firmware, so some of the features weren’t as sleek or intuitive.

Kids Think Adults Make Social Network Sites Lame

The dudes from Entourage were wrong about Facebook. A few days ago we wrote a post about the two characters from Entourage bashing Facebook, saying it’s for kids. A new study from Ofcom, a media regulator, says kids aged 15 to 24 think social networking sites are lame. What’s causing this trend? Well it’s the older crowd, the 25-years and older, that’s pushing the younger kids away from social networking sites.

Fifty percent of 15 to 24-year olds continue to use social networking which is a 5% drop since the start of last year. In contrast, there’s a 6% increase in the usage among 25 to 34-year olds, now with a total of 46%.

Peter Phillips, Ofcom’s head of strategy, says kids haven’t really left the sites but are spending less time on them, “There is nothing to suggest overall usage of the internet among 15-to 24-year-olds is going down, data suggests they are spending less time on social networking sites.”

What the heck is going on in China. Today, Wall Street Journal is reporting that a 16-year-old kid was beaten to death in “internet addiction” camp by his counselors. They were supposed to treat him but became agitated with him and ended up killing him instead.

The Chinese government is investigating the matter and has closed the internet addiction camp. Besides the atrocity of someone getting killed at a camp that’s supposed to be helping them, what the heck is an internet addiction camp? I can’t even believe there are such things. You want someone to stop using the internet, just cancel the service, get rid of the computer. There are much better ways to stop the “addiction” than sending a kid to a camp.
