Handsome spherical rock

Never heard the word "handsome" used to describe a rock.

I did see some gentlemanly trees while walking through the state forest the other day, however...

Amazon creates gigantic DRM-free music store!

September 25, 2007 9:03am

While 2 million MP3s is nothing to scoff at, I'd still have to say "too little, too late." The world of online music piracy has become so comprehensive in its selection, quality - and in a handful of cases - security, it's tough to see myself and like-minded souls ever willfully making the switch to an inferior pay-service. If I am to buy music, it is generally directly from the band (if possible) as a hard copy.

The fact is, what Amazon is offering in late 2007 should have been available almost a decade ago when the industry first saw Napster skyrocket in popularity.

Regardless, I can't say I dislike witnessing the slow death of DRM by way of good old fashioned market pressure.

No friends yet.
