Obama Carries a Zune?

by Terrence O'Brien on December 5, 2008 at 06:04 AM


Apparently when Obama talks about "change" he means absolutely everything. It's the only way that we can explain the fact that this confirmed Mac user is lugging a Microsoft Zune to the gym. We know that President Bush has an iPod, so the only reason we can figure that the President-elect is using a music player he can't even sync with his computer (Zunes are not yet Mac-compatible) is out of a desire to be different from Bush in every way possible.

To be fair, we don't know that it was his Zune, just that he was spotted with a Zune. But it's just another item we can add to the list of gadgets that Obama apparently keeps on hand. Thankfully, unlike his BlackBerry, we can see no reason why the president would be forced to give up his audio player.

Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden are admitted iPod fans, which leads us to believe that Obama really is trying to create a bipartisan administration. Leave it to Obama to prove Microsoft and Mac products can peacefully co-exist.

There has already been speculation that an Obama presidency will spell the end of comedy -- maybe he'll also put an end to the flame wars between Mac and Windows fans. That would be real change. [From: Gizmodo and City Paper]
