You would be wrong again, especially on your last point.  You need to stop thinking that you are somehow above anyone or everyone here it is getting tiresome and your attacks no matter how subtle you try to make them are indeed obvious to those of us smart enough to recognize them.  Norrath you're starting to sound like an internet stalker or maybe a child who simply doesn't get their way as you have failed at every attempt to bully me into what you consider the ideal poster to be.  Keep trying, you'll get nowhere. There's this discussion which mentions an "estimated" again which is speculation from somewhere and no source is required nor should it ever be and the price points mentioned are $299 and $399 (http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Microsoft-Zune/9475586449?v=feed&story_fbid=96298735734).  Go ahead and attack them I'm sure you'll somehow find they deserve it.  There is also this one where someone actually mentions a $400 to $500 price point which is exactly what I mention and this one isn't even approached at as speculation or rumor the poster uses it as fact (which is baseless) http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Microsoft-Zune/9475586449?v=feed&story_fbid=96460053009.  You best go and attack that guy as well and tell him how he is spreading malicous lies and ruining the interweb for everyone!  Be quick before the opportunity vanishes!



So you were banned just for random giggles?  Bans are handed out based on the rules Mike.  You break them (which is a behavioral issue) and you get banned.

Seriously that's logic 101...which apparently you're not good at...along with being honest.

All I've asked of you is to stay within the rules, and to be honest.

Also why would I jump on them?  They aren't presenting it with a lie right from the word go.  They state it's pure speculation and don't claim it to be 'growing speculation' to add false importance to it.


As stated though a source that has proven reliable has turned up that makes your price points completely bogus, which is what I said from the beginning.

re: New Zune

-chuckles- oh dear sir we have been over this time and time again.  You just need to keep your mouth shut about me plain and simple.  What you are doing is harassment plain and simple.  Stop asking and acting as if you are someone with some sort of importance around here because you aren't.  This I have verified 100%, you're a nobody, you never were anybody, at least as far as MS is concerned ever.  So please for your sake and your sanity just post like everyone else.  There is really no need to come to a thread I start just to attack me and isn't that the very thing you were harping at me about yet you were ignoring everyone else who did the same.

Come on now there really is no need for this hypocracy especially when you're trying to make yourself out to be the better man.......well you aren't even half the better man, not by a long shot.  Oh I broke rules, I always break rules, I always push the limits of said rules but alas I am smarter then you and I know what I was temp banned for, I and the Zune Team that is it.  So you can sit and type, and type, and you can even type some more.  Thanks again for proving that you are simply unable to accept what is right in front of you.  Obviously if I'm not the only one to have speculated at an ESTIMATED price point it is in growing speculation and it wasn't even that hard to find.  Come to think of it though I'm not as lazy nor do I turn a blind eye and go on some rant about how certain posters are ruining the forums because I don't agree with them.  One shouldn't cry wolf too many times they'll eventually get ignored.

Your source as reliable as you think it may be well -shrugs- everyone has sources but that doesn't mean they're accurate or correct.  Just means you have a source.  I "know" someone who has two ZuneHDs for testing.  Can this be proven in any way, shape, or form....well most certainly not but that doesn't mean he doesn't have them.  I could come on here and say "i have a trusted source that says they're discontinuing the Zune lineup entirely".  I would never have to expose that source or even prove that source, at least not by using your logic.  You want complete strangers to believe you and this "source" when your source and you are not more accurate then I am.  Your logic once again....fails.

Yeah and my wife has a best friend whose significant other is a major player on the Zune team. No he doesn't give me information, nor would I ask him for it.



But beyond that what's your point?  You keep trying to deflect over and over again.  One simple fact is that those posts on facebook you point out came after yours.  At the time of your post there wasn't growing speculation.

Also I appreciate you also trying to make veiled threats in my direction, but you're more far more toothless than I.


Also as regards the source I mentioned, how is a Software Engineer who works on the Windows Kernel not a reliable source?

Something tells me you didn't read the Neowin article at all...*sighs*



Also it seems you're lying again if you try to claim I never worked at MS...it's nice of you to try to call me a liar though to deflect from your own lies.

I can easily prove where I worked and what project it was on.  You on the other hand don't even have that much exposure.




Also just for your information....asking someone to provide a source for their story, and then having a debate that goes both ways is not harrassment.

I haven't even done 1/100th of the things you've pulled so you have no moral high ground there either.

You have and they're done in seperate ways.  Say what you want, lie all you want, I don't much care.  You're just another hypocritical coward.  Your "high road" is filled with potholes as is your story.  Like I said, I've checked, end of story.  Threats -laughs- no threats, not a single one towards you, i'm just telling you to shut up with yours towards me.

You've 'checked' eh?  Evidently you didn't check too well.

I'll come back with a random name as well and tell you it is I.  That will be proof enough.

re: New Zune
So Mike if you really want to play this game out to its completion...

Do you want a photo of my ID showing my name and picture?

Oh wait...have one

http://www.hotwiredpc.com/SSPic1.jpg

Oh look me with some games from campus

http://www.hotwiredpc.com/SSPic2.jpg

Oh look me on my wedding day

http://www.hotwiredpc.com/ShaneDressedUp.jpg


Oh look my name in the Fable II Credits at 5:53

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxBSVM2hGhY&feature=PlayList&p=AE0916535B4565E9&index=0


Oh look...my domain registration information

http://www.technolojik.net/whois/whois_search/index.php?domain=hotwiredpc.com&lookup=%3E%3E



Yup...I'm just coming up with a random name.


Do you ever post anything that isn't a lie or an attack on someone Mike?

As I said...I know you didn't do any research on me at all otherwise you would have found that I'm exactly who I am...a worker for a company that contracts my talent out to Microsoft.

Oh BTW that address is out of date since I moved in January 2009 and you'll have to copy/paste the domain link since the tool won't make it a clickable link even though all the others work.

re: New Zune

Believe it or not I don't care and you are the easiest person in the world to bait into a pointless one-sided argument.  Seriously who are you trying to impress or prove anything too?  That you at one time may have been employed and/or contracted by a sub-division of MS?  Whether you are or not is of no consequence as far as the Zune Team and this site is concerned you are a NOBODY just like everyone else so deal with it.

I'm quoting this so that this original version of your post stands for when it's read later on today.

It's a complete admission by you that you purposefully post flame-bait in order to incite problems on the forums.

That is a violation of the rules.

Also as far as 'impressing' anyone goes...I'm not worried about that.  I did however manage to prove that you lie consistently so that anyone who comes in here expecting truth from you will walk away knowing that it won't happen.

Thank you for making it easy to expose exactly who you are and how you behave.

re: New Zune

No, no violation of anything there, not even a flame, however (as you have yet again proven) you are easy to bait especially when it is an easy one to spot.  You are on some quest to impress someone (we just don't know who) and no one cares either.  You do a whole lot of crying though and of course there are the ample number of threats of action you make against me which by the way you have no power to make.  Again as I've told you before, you do not have the power so give it a break already.  Just assume the normal peon (that is a term for an underling/nobody by the way) position like everyone else and get on with your existence.  You seem to be dedicating entirely too much time on me for no reason other then your simple minded obsession, even Swan was never this bad.

I find it entirely too amusing that something as simple as someone not believing you has got you this worked up.  Which is exactly what it is and I'll (just for your sake) even furnish the proof to put my reply which you are making a mountain out of nothing just to hopefully get someone to passify your ego.

Man just imagined how much differently you would have reacted had I actually believed you Surprise [:O].  You going to try and get me banned for not believing you (that's laughable), when everything is put into context there is not a single violation made, NOT A SINGLE ONE.  One day you'll just take your own advice and LET IT GO.  I don't think that'll ever happen, you like the attention far to much -shrugs- heck at least you get it from somewhere right?

re: New Zune

Then of course I got to thinking...........what does the Code of Conduct and Terms of Service say about "baiting" (that was the term I used) and arguing (which at it's most basic form is a difference of opinion).  Well turns out there is nothing in the CoC or the TOS about "baiting" at all.  However I did find these nifty little CoC "What Not To Do"s (intresting because you Norrath are in direct violation of some of these on several RECENT occassions).

  • Don't use the Zune Social, Zune forums or anything else on the Zune Service to do anything illegal or fraudulent. Microsoft is not responsible for anything you say on the service/website or for anything that happens because of what you say; you alone are responsible.
  • Don't harass, abuse, spam, threaten, bully, intimidate or stalk other members.
  • Don't distribute, post, publish, upload, display, or link to any content (including images, audio, video, software, messages or text) that is, or could be considered to be, defamatory, obscene, derogatory, inflammatory, malicious, fraudulent, deceptive, or unlawful.   
  • Don’t distribute, post, publish, upload,  display,  or link to any content  that incites, advocates, promotes, depicts, constitutes or expresses child pornography, profanity, hatred, bigotry, racism, illegal drug use, gratuitous or graphic violence or criminal or fraudulent activity.
  • Don't, distribute, post, upload, display, or link to any content that infringes upon or violates the copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, publicity, privacy or other rights of any third party. 
  • Don't post links to Web sites that violate the Code of Conduct.
  • Don’t post your Zune Card on Web sites that facilitate, enable, encourage or advocate illegal copying or unauthorized distribution of third party copyrighted material or any other illegal activity, contain explicit or obscene content or would otherwise violate the Code of Conduct.
  • Don't give out information that personally identifies you (such as your real name, address, phone number, credit card number, etc.) on your user profile or in Zune forums. This information could be used by others for illegal or harmful purposes. Also, don't give out the personal information of other members.
  • Don't create a Zune Tag or motto that may offend other members. This includes comments that look, sound like, stand for, hint at, abbreviate, or insinuate any of the following: profane words/phrases, sexually explicit language, sexual innuendo, hate speech (including but not limited to racial, ethnic, or religious slurs), illegal drugs/controlled substances, or illegal activities.
  • Don't create a Zune Tag or motto that references controversial religious topics, notorious people, organizations, or sensitive current or historical events that may also be considered inappropriate.
  • Don't post links to viruses or other materials that could harm other users' computers or would allow others to inappropriately access software or Web sites.
  • Don't impersonate or harass Microsoft employees, moderators, or staff members.
  • Don’t misrepresent yourself or the source of anything you post, including impersonation of another individual or entity.
  • Don’t attempt to solicit, or collect personally identifiable information of any minor (anyone under 18 years old), including, but not limited to: name, email address, home address, phone number, or the name of their school.
  • Don't engage in any non-Zune-related conversation that takes up a substantial amount of the forum space and prevents members from finding Zune-related information.
  • Don't use the forums for any commercial purpose without the express consent of Zune.  You may only create an account for yourself as an individual. You may not create an account for your corporation or other business entity.
  • Don't attempt to circumvent any content filtering techniques we may employ or to defeat or assist others in defeating any technical copyright protections.

Well that second one eh -shrugs- you sort of enter into territory willingly however the first one is something you should pay attention to.  You should especially pay attention to it and realize that I have told you before to back off because from my perspective (this is what matters).  You have done nothing but harass, stalk, threaten (oh yes several times) and you've tried to intimidate me (mostly based solely on your dislike for me and your dislike of my views).  You however will not find that I have one any of those to you.  There was that one time I said you were deserved of whatever hardships came your way then you rambled on about being jobless, getting divorced, and being sick or some crap like that.  I negged on most of what I said because no one deserves to be sick 24/7/365 but there are some things in life people do actually deserve but that is neither here nor there and I am not the judge of such things.  I guess I could tell you one last time to simply LET IT GO, to stop stalking me, harassing me, going into virtually each and every thread I participate in just to start an argument (and it's what you do all you have to do is go back and read your replies) but I've done this before and it never really has sunk in yet.  Last time, take your own advice and just let it go.

Norrath your authority level is zero (you need to realize this).
