Eduard Gubelin
Leading gemologist and authority on inclusions in gemstones Eduard J. Gübelin died March 15, one day short of his 92nd birthday.
Gübelin was born to a watchmaking family in 1913, and joined his father's business at an early age. He became involved with gemology after his father started a gemological laboratory in Lucerne.
An authority on inclusions in gemstones who was ell-known for his research, Gübelin authored many publications including Internal World of Gemstones: Documents from Space and Time, a work that showed how gemologists could determine the source of stones based on their inclusions.
"While his death saddened me greatly, no one who knew him can feel anything but joy," said Richard R. Hughes, of the American Gem Testing Laboratory, in a statement. "Eduard Gübelin was the father of modern gemology. We are all his children."

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.)

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.
