Zune, Google Glass, and the Newton Still Have a Lot to Teach Us

Some wise old man told me that "everything has a purpose, even if it's just to be the 'before' exhibit". I saved a piece of a Zune review from when the Zune debuted.

This is Andy Ihnatko, on the Zune:

"Avoid," is my general message. The Zune is a square wheel, a product that's so absurd and so obviously immune to success that it evokes something akin to a sense of pity...

Yeah, the Zune has a lot to teach us. I doubt anyone other than Linux fanatics among us will take the lesson.
