Elles ont vécu un calvaire, hier, dans la salle de basket du Palais des Sports Salamata Maïga de Bamako. Eh oui ! les Lionnes ont été conspuées par le public malien qui a pris fait et cause pour le Nigéria, lors de la finale de l’Afrobasket 2017 contre le Sunugaal. Bien que leur équipe a été battue par le Nigeria en demi-finale, samedi, le public malien a supporté et poussé le Nigeria et tout fait pour que le Sunugaal perde.
Certainement par jalousie d’une équipe du Sunugaal qui a remporté 12 fois le Championnat d’Afrique de basket féminin en 20 finales alors que le Mali n’a connu qu’un sacre, en 2007, à Ndakaaru, les Maliens n’ont pas fait le moindre cadeau aux filles de Tapha Gaye. Même lorsqu’elles se sont présentées pour recevoir leur médaille d’argent, c’est un concert de huées, porté par la chorale principale des supporters du Mali, qui a les accompagnées. Pour en finir avec les Lionnes, il faut noter que les désormais vice-championnes d’Afrique 2017 sont attendues à Ndakaaru ce lundi, à 17 heures 30 minutes à l’Aéroport International Léo Poète Senghor.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
These two are some real messy eaters!
