Pandora delivers custom radio, for good or evil
By Anonymous
A few years ago, I spent a year touring the continent on a bicycle, by myself. As you might imagine, I spent many hours listening to the radio. Bringing my music collection along was out of the question for space reasons -- the iPod and other MP3 players were still relatively new and expensive, so I hadn't bought one before the trip. Satellite radio, same deal. So when road noise threatened to drive me bonkers, I turned to the FM band. And you know, there's just not
Is The Wicked DRM Witch Dead?
By Anonymous
Apple announced today that nearly all of the music sold on iTunes will be 100% DRM free. DRM, or Digital Rights Management, has been the bane of the music downloading world since its inception. DRM is a security method to prevent people from copying and distributing music illegally which sounds good on the surface but because of the complexity of our changing lives and music playing products only proved to hamper and anger consumers.

Top iPhone apps you should have for MacWorld
By Anonymous
First off, Happy New Year! We are approaching the final count down to MacWorld and aside from a few bookmarks (and macworld - thanks @danielbru for reminding me), there are a few apps you may want to make sure you have installed. I’m going to break the list in two; jailbreak and non jailbreak apps. I’m also not going to list games. I figure, you would already have that in hand.

This is a cool idea: print photos from your iPhone or iPod Touch directly to a printer without having to first transfer the photos to a computer. HP has developed this app and is making it available for free in the iTunes store. Search for HP iPrint Photo.
