It appears as though Steve Jobs’ call to abolish DRM was heard by someone at EMI, who will begin selling DRM-free music on the iTunes Store. Apple has announced that iTunes will make individual AAC format tracks available [...]

There is a recent article in the New York Times worth reading regarding cell phones becoming barcode readers. the technology has been talked about for a number of years but when an article gets published in the New York Times about a new technology perhaps it puts the subject on the fringe of the mainstream. Unfortunately if you want to go out and start scanning today, you just can’t. You see, it will take a few years for cell phone-based bar code readers to be offered in the US due to our devices not being equipped to read these codes. Japan happens to be one of the leading countries in terms of cell phone barcode adoption, allowing Japanese consumers to be able to scan things like the nutritional information on a hamburger in McDonalds or being abl[...]

#1 Last May, Apple and Nike got together to embed sensors in Nike shoes that transmitted data up to Apple Nanos kitted out with a slim receiver plugged into the bottom. Nike have now announced that by the end of 2007 all their running shoes will be able to be kitted out with the Nike+ sensors. Will it help the Apple treadmill to keep spinning, or is it a step too far? Update - it's true. #2 This Easter, someone chocolate eggs won’t have sweets in the middle.Instead, they’ll come with an MP3 player inside.An eggsaggeration? Or the eggsact truth?Update: it's true. #3 And to keep to the theme of portable devices, what about a gold-plated USB stick to hang on an elegant necklace around your neck? Comes in silver too, 1GB or 2GB. Bling or fool? Update: it'[...]
