MP3 Winners and Losers for 2003
An anonymous reader writes "Richard Menta over at MP3newswire.net just posted his annual winners and losers list in digital music for last year. The big winner is Apple for dominating MP3 portable player sales and the dramatic success of its iTunes service. Napster savior Roxio and the small independent record labels also made the winners list. The losers list include SonicBlue and MP3.com. Interestingly, Ogg Vorbis made the losers list, not because of the codec per se, but because iTunes has both catapulted the AAC format to number two and stimulated Microsoft to pour more of its efforts ($$$) into WMA and the iTunes clones, leaving little room left for the open source alternative. The 2001 and 2002 winners list are worth a look too and each have links to that year's losers list."

Well, certainly having an AC point this out to us in the middle of a discussion on a completely different topic has convinced me. Your wit, charm, and on-topicness (on-topicsity? on-topicsisity?) are irresistible! Down with Michael! Down with the lot of them! Anonymous Cowards of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but modpoints!
no, it's not because it's friday. and it's not because almost everyone took the day off. it's because i didn't do my morning masturbation. i yank off every morning but didn't have time today. so here i am trying to work on the code but all the time thinking about jennifer connelly's big tits rubbing in my face. oh lord how i wish i could go home early and jerk myself silly while watching one of her flicks.
... Madonna,
for her hit mp3 "What the fuck do you think you are doing?"
and also anyone that pays money for a slashdot subscription. Seeing duplicate stories and slashvertisements 15 minutes sooner isn't worth paying for.
I salute you for putting this Lunix bigots in their place.
