Home Stereo Equipment With Online Music Purchasing

Posted by michael on from the one-click dept.

nebulous bee writes "Yahoo is reporting on a new piece of home stereo equipment going on sale in Japan that has an ethernet port that can be linked directly to an online music store. You can purchase new music using the unit's built-in LCD display and hear it 'instantly'. No PC required. There are no plans to sell it yet outside of the land of the rising sun."

    DRM enabled? That is to say, DICK RIGHTS MANAGEMENT enabled? If anybody can put their penis in it, I don't want it.

  4. Honda talks to GOD tsarkon reports by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Soichiro Honda of the motorcycle corporation, died and went to heaven
    for judgment at the gates, St Peter told Mr. Honda, "since you have been
    such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your
    reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want in heaven." Mr. Honda
    thought about it for a minute then said " I want to hang out with God.
    I have a question
    for him."

    St Peter took Mr. Honda to the throne room and introduced him to God.

    He then asked God, "Aren't you the inventor of women?",

    God said "ah yes. Indeed I am".

    "Well," said Mr. Honda, "professional to professional, you have some
    major design flaws in your design;

    1. there's too much inconsistency in the front end protrusion.
    2. It chatters constantly at high speeds.
    3. Most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble too much.
    4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust.
    5. Plus the monthly downtime and aggravation are outrageous.
    6. And I don't even want to start talking about maintenance costs."

    "Hmm you do raise some good points" replied God "Let's have a wee look"

    God went to his Celestial super computer, typed in a few things and
    waited for the results. After a moment God said

    "Well, it may be true that my invention seems to be flawed, but
    according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than
    yours...."
