Microsoft dropping DRM from Zune Music Store

Soo, DRM was necessary to any business model Microsoft said. Just cut the innovation crap, and admit to great success at copying other successful products and business models.

Twitter - what the hell is that?

Twitter Logo 2You may have noticed this new little area on my blog that has seemingly random comments and happenings in it. These are my Tweets on Twitter. So you ask, what the hell is Twitter. Well I shall use the words of Amber Mac to describe it.

“For folks who don’t know what Twitter is, it’s a service that let’s you share what you’re doing right now on the web (via your computer or phone). ” For more info on this from Amber: Twitter Addicts, on cartoons, on maps, on badges.

For more info on Twitter apps, etc, check out this article.

Oh, and drop me an email or a comment if you wanna add me as a friend. ;-)

You click. We stack. You get. “Now that I have Gmail Paper, I understand the difference between labels and folders. I had one message with two labels, but when I tried to stick the paper version into two filing cabinets at the same time, it just wouldn’t go.” What will Google think of next?
