For about a year now I have been without cable or satellite TV service.  Not until recently I have felt like I&#8217;m &#8220;back in the TV game&#8221;.  Why?  I&#8217;ll tell [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft claims that Apple products cost too much, here&#8217;s another example.

In Microsoft&#8217;s latest attempt to tell people Apple products are too expensive (ala Laptop Hunters commercials) they&#8217;ve rolled out a new ad saying that filling an iPod with songs bought on iTunes will cost you $30,000.  The Zune Pass costs $14.99/month.
