New Zunes: They ain't never catching Apple, but kudos to Microsoft for building in wireless syncing (and adding it to old Zunes) before other major vendors.
|
Ads on YouTube: Wait, you mean ads other than the ones that appear when somebody puts a TV show up without editing? I'm confused here.
|
Five more months of XP: Sign #2643 that the Vista launch is not going well--vendors will continue to sell new XP machines through June 30, 2008.
|
RIAA's $220,000 verdict: Surely that gigantic decision against a Minnesotan single mother will make up for the vast sums of money your industry is losing. Right?
|
More exploding Technology: This time, it was an iPod that caught a man's pants on fire. Kinda makes you worry about head-mounted displays, doesn't it?
|
Radiohead sells MP3s: I love the DRM-free, iTunes-free approach, especially if I get to name my own price. But 160-kbps files? There's always a catch.
