Hack-A-Zune?

Say what you will about the new iPod Zune, I mean, Microsoft Zune... it may be the worst device in the history of portable music players out of the box, but there's one thing I have come to realize in the past week: one day, it might become an underground hit.

How, you might ask?

Well, it appears, with the early hacks that have surfaced, the Zune might end up being one of the most hackable and therefore customizable players out there. If folks continue their desire to hack this little baby, it might reach Tivo-like proportions in the "customizing" community and therefore end up the underground hit of 2007.

Or I could be wrong and it will end up in the bargain bin with all the other "iPod Killers".

Azinger Next US Ryder Cup Captain?

According to this story, it's true. Paul Azinger will be squaring off against long-time rival Nick Faldo in the 2008 version of the Ryder Cup. I think this will make for an interesting match. Azinger is not short of US pride, and Faldo just likes to win. If Azinger can light a fire under some of the US players' butts, I'm all for it. At this point though, I would have to take a second to think about accepting the job. I can't imagine the pressure to win the next US Captain would be facing.
