Check out the low-res trailer here...

Sony Ditches ATRAC, Connect Music Store

Sony Ditches ATRAC, Connect Music Store

Now that is a big deal. I have watched Sony continue to push the pathetically locked ATRAC format for years wondering why they kept going. Well, I knew then and know now that Sony is so hopelessly addicted to it's own ideas that it often refuses to notice that they're dead and buried...

An Open Letter to NBC re: Leaving Apple’s iTunes Store | iLounge

An Open Letter to NBC re: Leaving Apple’s iTunes Store | iLounge

Definitely worth a read. Yes, the article is pro-Apple, but I believe he makes some VERY valid points here. I know that I consider $1.99 per episode to be higher than it should be, but I have paid it on occasion.

UPDATE:

NBC says that it's all Apple's fault :) The quote about "flexible pricing" to me seems like code for wanting to raise prices or make people buy whole seasons or some such. Given the situation, I would definitely put money on NBC being the more greedy/willing to screw over consumers of the two corporations.

I haven't read the whole article, but it sounds rather interesting and worth a look...

Apple Acquires CUPS

Mac Rumors: Apple Acquires CUPS

This is actually very interesting as this is probably the best open source printing architecture out there, but it needs more polish IMO. Apple is likely to integrate CUPS even more into OS X while hopefully continuing to support all the others UN*X operating systems...
