But they did just fine for the teenagers who bought them in droves, because they teenagers didn't care about sound quality back then -- they cared about mobility!!! Ahem, I don't think that has changed since. Just see the kids playing MP3s in the streets out of the tiny, little, terrible "speakers" embedded in the mobile phone ;)

On: 38% of Downloaders Paid For Radiohead Album

I'll wager to distribute an album you're going to want a big pipe to handle a good many simultaneous connections of files that probably average 10-15mb each (I haven't gone there so I don't know precisely how it's distributed; one big MP3 or as individual songs). It is one ZIP file around 48MB with individual MP3s inside.

P.S. I paid 5GBP for download after trying whether that works for 0. :)

On: OpenDocument Foundation To Drop ODF

None for you and me and others here... I am afraid though that it will have negative impact on decisions about the format used by corporations, countries (like SA last week?). They want to see support behind whatever format they choose... and well, marketing is (unfortunately) huge player these days... And there will be ODF version of 'Get the Facts' soon. How sad.

Especially considering it was released back in 1989. Something is telling me that sharing MP3s over Internet was not a big deal at that time ;)

Not necessarily. It could be used to project data from installed GPS/navigation there. I'd like that... D
