I was being sarcastic about the Zune. Seriously, who came up with that name or where did they get it from? iPod..just sounds so much better to me. iPod. eye-pod-uh. iPod. Yay!. Zune. Boom.

LOL :Smirk:

Lol, I don't know who came up with it but it probably only took them about 5 seconds. Also, I was wondering if anyone knows how Apple picks it's employees for the Design/Production area of the business. Do they handpick from Universities or do they take applicants?

I heard Steve Jobs is always part of the design processes at Apple Inc. because "no else can relate to his thinking"..I don't think Bill Gates is really part of it at Microsoft. I called my friend's Zune a brick.

Yeah i have tried many times and they never seem to get back (Apart from the time i failed), the first time i tried i understand why they said 'No!' because i was really shy at the time, but now i have changed and am really friendly and enjoy helping and teaching people, I just wish I could get another shot :(

If you really want a job working at an apple retail store get a job as the apple guy at best buy, work there for awhile and put it on your resume and poof you have experience and a better chance of getting hired.
