Should you be looking for a Zune-bashing fix...

Submitted by bszlachta on Sat, 2008-01-05 14:11.

As I mention here, while Microsplot.com still carries its old Boycott Zune content, I've stopped my full-time bullying of the product; it's not much fun to kick the helpless.

But if you should visit with a taste for some fresh brown or pink blood, allow me to send you to a land where Zune-bashing remains a gala spectator sport: RoughlyDrafted. It's a site with decidedly strident writing – don't expect any "gosh, every product has its good and bad points, so let's all be friends" group hugs – but it's noteworthy for digging deep into its tech topics, especially reports from the OS wars. Oh, and it's got great nose-thumbing graphics (such as featured here) – what I would be up to if Photoshop didn't have a 300-meter restraining order against me.

A few items of Zune-related snark and schadenfreude:

Microsplot is built upon an older site poking fun at the Zune music player. But that wasn't too fun (see details). The whole world of tech is full of wonders, good and bad, and it's more enjoyable to take a crack at any worthy target.
