pretty interesting. but i think its going to be even more interesting when sony get their 'my sony music' store working with their new md's...
Sony -- having one foot in content and the other in content players -- will have a hard time in the new music market if it continues to sit on the DRM fence. By introducing another proprietary, marginally-used and badly-named format (ATRAC3) on an idle platform (MD), Sony will finding itself fighting for scraps leftover from the Apple/HP/iTunes feeding frenzy.
Can MD's be used for anything other than music files?
How many MD's do I need to carry around if I want my whole library with me (10000 songs)?
Does it transfer music faster than Firewire or USB2?
Does it support Playlists? Playlists on the go?
How many jukeboxes/players support ATRAC3?
Are there any other applications for MD players that give it some PDA abilities?
What will be interesting is to see how Sony deals with consumers moving towards more widely accepted standards while it contuinues to suck RIAA ass with things like ATRAC3 and Open Magic Gate. Times like this Sony probably wishes it never got into content.
I was checking out the scoop over at Fortune and noticed a picture of a very sexy yet sinister BLACK iPod accompanying the story. Where were these during the announcement? More colours to come perhaps...?
Apple today released Safari Update 1.0 Beta (v51) 1-10-03, a new version of the company's Web browser that was introduced on Tuesday. A detailed list of improvements was not given, but Apple did say that the update is "recommended for all Safari users."
Where do these people get the idea that owning a Mac makes them a superior
human being?
The author never said 'superior human beings' but according to this study
and CNET article, we're smarter and make more money. I don't suggest you
read this, however, since it may just make you angrier and hate us more.

He needs to get in touch with a TV studio that can turn this story into a claymation Christmas classic:
Narration by Burle Ives, as 'the Snowman'
Tobey Maguire, as the voice of our plucky Mac-toting sleuth, 'Jason
Eric Smith'
Brad Garrett (Everybody Love Raymond), as the audacious 'Sargeant
Knapp'
Victoria (MacinTalk Pro Voice), as the damsel in distress, 'Powerbook
G4'
and
Jeremy Irons, voicing the malevolent 'Melvin Christmas' [I'll
:D
never get over that name]
If made, this holiday classic will be destined to keep the kiddies glued to the set every Christmas Eve. I know I'll be watching
