2004 Digital Media Winners and Losers

Posted by CmdrTaco on Sunday January 9, 2005 @04:39AM from the stuff-to-read dept.

An anonymous reader writes "MP3 Newswire has just released Richard Menta's annual digital media winners and losers list. Apple tops the winners list for the second year in a row as does eDonkey and last spring's Grey Album protest. Losers include the term iPod Killers, Winamp, and the WMA format. BitTorrent made both lists. Menta also released a 2005 wishlist. Topping that list is an iPod in-dash unit similar to the old Rio Car. You can see Menta's previous years winners and losers lists."

I know this is off-topic, but I must rant:
In the last article, Slashbots went out and shut down thousands of netoworked security cameras. This is unacceptable! If I had a camera that was DDOSed and it caused me too miss something important, I would be pissed. I hope you assholes get sued.
