via GizmodoThe week in tech was relentless, exhausting. The Zune was released, and the world shrugged. People camped out for the Playstation 3, and were shot with BB guns.
It's nice to ponder alternatives to the big corporations dominating the news, so we present the Thomson Black Diamond, a lovely sleek obsidian player with 8 Gigs of storage, an OLED screen, and luminescent touch controls. So pretty - if you "caress the surface" as the website entreats, you may experience an altered state of consciousness and meet a star baby. You can also reach it by pondering the $300 price tag.

I'm not paying $300 to caress this thing.
