This is probably obvious but ... Zune HD apps are a WinPhone 7 preview, aren't they? (sent from Zune HD Twitter app)

Re: WinPhone7 Will be good to have MS back in the game; but as they've lost all their sex appeal can't imagine they will do much more than maintain current market share.

Apple may really need to make this tablet a success since less than extraordinary iPhone shipments in this last quarter may point to rival phones blocking further iPhone steep incline.

@LANjackal: The problem there is that that system backfires. I specifically do not buy media on the iTunes store because of the "must sync to the computer" problem. I don't connect my gear to my computer, ever. I haven't hooked my phone up since the first day I got the thing (and jailbroke it). I very likely never will hook it up again, because there's no point. Also, if they need verification, then a simple 2-key cryptographic system could be made to work easily enough.

What does this do for the Kindle, Nook and all the other e-ink readers? I'd say they're in trouble. Except for reading a textbook, I think a device just 2x larger than the iTouch would be more convenient.

@Bill I'd agree mostly on the ebook readers. But there is something *really* nice on the eyes with e-ink that I'm hesitant to give up (and go back to zombie brain lit screens).

@.LAG liked that, I think the stock move has to do with the price. The market liked the $499 price more than the speculated higher $1,000 price. It was down until the price was announced then it turned up.
- Thomas Hawk
Thomas... makes sense. $499 is a price that will probably move lots of units

They've not updated the UK store yet with info about the ipad. A little let down about the lack of bluetooth connection to a dekstop/laptop mac for use as an input device. Also, not bothered about the 3G version as I'd rather buy a mifi and use that saving myself cash and letting more devices access the net on the go ;)

It would be cool if I could get a mifi-type device with a $15/30 per month no-contract billing option. That would make all of these devices tempting.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
here in the UK 3 offer a mifi with a 1 month rolling contract, 5Gb per month limit with £40 up front for the mifi or a pay as you go mifi for £70 up front
- alphaxion
That sounds sweet alpha, I think here it's like $60/mo. with a long-term contract. Let me double-check that. Edit: Looks like the minimum mifi contract is $40/mo. for 250MB and it doesn't say how long the contract lasts. http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c...

Woman illegally downloads 24 songs, fined to tune of $1.9 million - CNN.com - http://www.cnn.com/2009...

(CNN) -- A federal jury Thursday found a 32-year-old Minnesota woman guilty of illegally downloading music from the Internet and fined her $80,000 each -- a total of $1.9 million -- for 24 songs. Illegal downloads of musical files will cost a Minnesota woman $1.9 million, a jury has decided. Jammie Thomas-Rasset's case was the first such copyright infringement case to go to trial in the United States, her attorney said. Attorney Joe Sibley said that his client was shocked at fine, noting that the price tag on the songs she downloaded was 99 cents. She plans to appeal, he said. Cara Duckworth, a spokeswoman for the Recording Industry Association of America, said the RIIA was "pleased that the jury agreed with the evidence and found the defendant liable." "We appreciate the jury's service and that they take this as seriously as we do," she said. Thomas-Rasset downloaded work by artists such as No Doubt, Linkin Park, Gloria Estefan and Sheryl Crow.

I cannot believe I live in the state that has idiots large enough to think that this woman has a chance to be able to pay what they are asking....
- Chris Ames
oh come on, let the poor woman off the hook, sure its illegal, but dont charge her with $1.9M, give her a slap on the wrist and tell her not to do it again. and this is for 24 songs? heck, why dont they go after the people who are downloading full length HD movies and who have thousands of songs downloaded, those are the people who should be fined or jailed, not a woman who downloaded only 24 songs.
- Bryce Campbell
Really?!?!
- David Cook
It's publicity and the labels think it's a lesson for others. In a sense it's advertising, $1.9mil is sacrificed (I agree, Chris, she can't pay this) for negative publicity. The labels don't give a damn that in their quest to make an example of this poor woman they are financially ruining a human being unnecessarily and unreasonably. This is when justice becomes a bully.
- Jack&Cleo
Sadly the jury is the one that thought that $80k a song was a valid price to pay.
- Chris Ames
$80k/song! Pure lunacy. How could the judge even say her fine with a straight face?
- Shane
...and this will further alienate music consumers. RIAA continues to remain out of touch.
- jbrotherlove
Is this women rich? So, they decided to fine her 80,808 times for one song and for all 24 a total of 1,939,393.94 times the worth of the songs. Wow, it's bigger business in making money from taking people to court.

It must be the depression that we are in

I'd love to see the artists of the songs she downloaded to pull together the fine for her as say 'screw you' to the label companies. Of course, that will never happen, but would be fun to read.

Yea add to it that at the 99cents itunes business model it would mean to lose that much that those songs would have to have been downloaded from her PC almost 2 million times.

As the original 2007 verdict was judged to be "wholly disproportionate" and "oppressive" this verdict is most likely to be judge "insane".

There is something not quite right about the reporting of this case. On the one hand she is accused " of illegally sharing 24 songs from artists including Sheryl Crow and Green Day.". On the other she is accused "of uploading 1,700 songs to the Kazaa file-sharing site before it became a legal service." Would the honourable gentlemen of the press please find out which of these heinous crimes the obscene fine is attributed to and report back. Thank you.
- Gilbert Harding
And what would the RIAA do if everyone with an Internet connection started "pirating" music? Are they going to file a class-action lawsuit against the consumers? RIAA vs. the People. That's rich. Just another bunch of hoodlums in suits, that's all. I say micropayment them into bankruptcy.

I read this story and was floored that a jury was dumb enough to award this.

If I were the RIAA I'd want to keep stuff like this off the radar. This is only further advances the idea that the recording industry is in its death...

Yup, it's a complex world, and too much of it presumes electricity and bandwidth. In terms of geek disaster planning, the fallback is RFC 1149, which is waaaay too slow for emergency services. http://www.blug.linux.no/rfc1149...

Agreed. I work for a large healthcare provider and centralization has been the mantra for the past 10yrs. Not that it doesn't have its place but when you are talking EMRs and medical imaging....wow, its kind of scary.

Very interesting perspective. I think that more services should be required to test services operating in 'partioned' mode.
- Will Hawkins
@coldbrew: no, 1149 is more useful: in an emergency situation, who cares about the extra QOS levels in 2549? Plus, those QOS and other levels introduce more dependencies besides pigeon food and good weather.

I've been a licensed amateur radio operator for over 35 years, I was helping with communications after Hurricane Andrew, where there were NO communications at all, no road signs, no trees, let alone cell towers for communications. There was amateur radio! It has improved since Andrew, and Katrina showed this. I use CW (Morse Code) and still love this form of communications. So when all Cyber Communications go down, I will still be able to communicate world wide - by radio! Robert WE4B
