  1. A couple sites: on How Do You Find New Non-RIAA Music? · · Score: 1

    Like most of the other responders here, I'm a Jamendo [http://www.jamendo.com] fan. The site's a breeze to use, powerful, and a ton of variety. I grab everything from piano solos (Rob Costlow) to country (Kelly Alan), to everything else (Try^d) there.

    The other site I'm overly-addicted to is CCMixter [http://www.ccmixter.org]. Not as high-quality, but worth looking at. There's some sweet samples and decent mixes made there.

    Both are [mostly] filled with Creative Commons [at-nc-sa] licensed content, too.

  2. Re:Wifi is highly overrated... I'd rather bt+3g on Digital Camera Memory Card With Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    It's interesting that you mention this scenario. I'm not sure if anyone has made the connection yet, but the first thing I thought of when I read this article was Microsoft's Surface project. With built-in Wi-Fi and Bt (2nd or 3rd gen. assumed), it would work with either protocol.

    Which makes things very interesting, indeed; I'm imagining photos being displayed on the 'Surface' in (near-)real-time, or the card being popped into some SD-but-cellular-net-only smartphone and having all my appointments synced in -- again -- (near-)real-time, even if I'm away from my computer. Or, how about social sharing? You and your friends take off for a hiking trip, snapping pictures along the way. Everyone's smart-device or laptop could have all the photos beamed to their toys wirelessly. All without cables. That would be nice.

    And, as someone pointed out above, $1.90/mo. is a pretty fair deal.

  3. Hack of a Work-Around on IE and Firefox Share a Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    This vulnerability isn't present when viewing the infected page from IETab/IEView in Firefox 2.0.0.9. Can anyone explain why that is?
