    • Away From the Tour Group, an MP3 Player as Your Guide

      Posted by Jeff from New York Times

      I listened to Ms. Weiner’s 75-minute Ancient Rome tour, which goes from Capitoline Hill to the Coliseum. I’m familiar with that walk, but I was engrossed by her narrative. I could re-envision the landscape while picking up new information, like the workings of the elevators, pulleys and winches for Coliseum spectacles, and seeing the spot wher

    • Reviews: Zune is a failure

      Posted by Jeff from BoingBoing

But it’s noticeably thicker (0.6 inch vs. 0.4), taller (4.4 inches vs. 4.1) and heavier (5.6 ounces vs. 4.8).

      Jon Johansen hacks FairPlay, the Apple iTunes closed system

      Posted by Jeff from CNN

      As he and Farantzos explain DoubleTwist in a conference room they share with several other companies, he points to a sheet of printer paper tacked on the wall that has a typed quote Jobs gave the Wall Street Journal in 2002: "If you legally acquire music, you need to have the right to manage it on all other devices that you own." As Johansen sees it, Jobs didn't follow through on this promise, so it's up to him to fix the system, just as he fixed the software for his father's camera.

    If it were a Microsoft product, the wireless mighty mouse would play music and blend daquiris and be completely unusable.
