The Zune WiFi sharing capability has coped is fair share of criticism over the months since its launch but here is a happy story involving Zune’s WiFi sharing.
There once was a boy in school, when one day he was shocked to find out that his Zune had been snatched and stolen by an evil person who we will call Slagathor (10 points to who ever guessed were that is from). Never fear for his trusted side kick friend came to the rescue and quickly turned his own Zune on and sure enough the stolen Zune was picked up still in the school yard. When the 2 brave boys confronted the thief Slagathor, he realized he was corned and handed back over the Zune so the school boy can now rejoin the social and live happily ever after.

So who liked my story?
Have you heard? no? Well you soon will. Microsoft will soon start their new and I must werid unique marketing strategy. Zune Masters is the name and 18 - 22 year olds Zune ambassadors is the game. Microsoft will hand pick 200 people to be “Zune Masters” and upon joining up with this program the will receive a welcome kit consisting of a limited edition 30 GB Zune player, ten Zune T-shirts, a custom Zune Masters messenger bag and insulated cap from The North Face, and Zune posters.
The job of the Zune Masters is to pretty much promote the Zune around their school/college by having Zune sponsored events/parties. On top of doing this they will also be paid to be a Zune Master from Microsoft. So whats not to like about this? Your a college student getting paid to through events/parties, a free Zune and a bunch of other cool stuff.

Picture this, you get a loved one a Zune for Christmas, in this case a 12 year old girl. Its opened up and then you are asked “What is this?” and it turns out to be some happy snaps of a gay orgy going on.
Thats exactly what happened to a couple and their daughter in Evergreen Park. The Zune was purchased from Wal-Mart, but there is a little confusion as to who’s fault this is. Wal-Mart is saying that this is Microsofta fault, maybe some one on the production line decided to add some more preloaded content. Although the family is saying its Wal-Marts fault, as the box looked like it was already opened and some content was missing. The best thing out of this, they get a $25 gift card to share the Christmas spirit.

Following on from the last post about the 100 pink Zunes out in the wild and one of them being sold on ebay. That auction is now closed and the winning bid was for a cool $761. Thats allota cash for a pretty pink Zune…
Seeing as these pink Zunes come in unmarked boxes, some people might be a bit upset that they wanted a white Zune and get a pink. If this happens to you and you choose to pass on the ebay auction, they do come with a coupon to easily change it for the color of your choice, but that would not be very smart now would it?
For those of you who remember our post about the limited edition pink Zune, which was given has a thank-you present to the Zune team, and only them. If you were one of the people to go pink with envy and wished you could get your hands on one of these for your much loved wife or girlfriends, you are in luck! Apparently Microsoft has put 100 of these out in the wild, complete with a certificate stating just that. One lucky shopper managed to pick one up at Circuit City and has now put it up for sale on Ebay. So you are now faced with 2 tough choices, to please your lover, you will have to go in an all out bidding war for this pink Zune, or put on your shopping shoes and go hunting for this Zune out there in the wild. Good Luck!
So far bidding on Ebay is up to: $380.99
