hi i'm molly wood and welcome to the buzz report and now for the gadget of the week the gadje of the week is the microsoft zune it hits the market on tuesday november 14th and it is a hotly anticipated entry into the mp3 player market now we got an early look at the device and you know it looks pretty decent it comes in brown which is kind of neat the lack of compatibility with place for sure is kind of a bummer and the integrated Wi-Fi features are interesting but maybe not a major reason to buy but the real problem I think might be the size I mean it's not like horribly huge well I don't know I'll let you decide for yourself what do you think not that bad right and now for the news as you know this week was election day here in the United States and millions of Americans cast their votes on controversial electronic voting machines but I'm happy to report that there wasn't a single problem with any Evo ting machines in fact our new president r2d2 calls it the smoothest election he's ever seen did we even vote for president on Tuesday in other election news after years of ignoring the contributions of bloggers and so-called citizen journalists CNN tried to bring them into the tent during this week's election return coverage they held a blogger party where they periodically check in on influential internet writers and ask them for their opinions then they get back to the real news anchors and get on with their jobs pretty much the same strategy is normal dutch beer maker Heineken has developed a new system for tracking its beer using satellite technology the system works a little something like this excuse me the civil liberties group Reporters Without Borders has named its annual list of enemies of the Internet the group says countries like Egypt Cuba Iran China North Korea and Turkmenistan are restricting freedom of expression online but you know what here at buzz headquarters we have a different list in fact I humbly present you the buzz reports top 5 enemies of the internet number 5 Stephen Colbert Stephen Colbert encouraged people to edit Wikipedia to add false information about African elephant if you can't trust a fake conservative on his fake new show to protect the integrity of a fake encyclopedia who can you trust number four senator ted stevens on second thought i'm not so sure about this one I mean is it fair to call a guy an enemy of the internet when he coined one of the funniest analogies for the internet that I've ever heard the internet is the series of shows ya know I'm changing my vote Ted Stevens champion of the tubes number three borut Sacha Baron Cohen refuses to acknowledge similarities between his Borat character and 1999 internet celebrity my hair Kadri who became famous for his I kiss you website which contained invitations for women to come stay at his house and have sex with him but that's understandable I mean that's not nearly offensive enough material for barratt number two BitTorrent if the movie studios didn't have to spend so much time and money fighting you guys they could be building a sensible open platform to digitally distribute movies to the public or reasonable prices damn you BitTorrent quit screwing around and let those good people get back to work and number one Britney Spears if she wasn't taking up all the search results for hot blonde on the internet then I'd be number one boom enemy of the Internet I'm mollywood and this is done the bus report thanks for watching
