Truly stupid: at Microsoft, you get into trouble for owning an iPod, writesWired News.
So concerned is management, owning an iPod at Microsoft is beginning to become impolitic, the manager said. Employees are hiding their iPods by swapping the telltale white headphones for a less conspicuous pair.
Apparently, HP is up and coming, having developed a new technology to replace the transistor, which has ruled computing in various forms (becoming smaller and smaller) up until today. It’ll be interesting to see if this takes of in the mentioned timeframe. Here is the story at CNN.
I just wonder, if home-user will _really_ benefit from this? (I know, this is not only about home computing, but that’s not my point.) I have a rather fast&evil machine now, and I doubt I use more than 50% of its capacity, even if I try. I don’t do video-editing, I admit, but for everything else: why? why such great computing power?
Oh, and while I was typing away about Universdj, I was listening to radio42. This is a fantastic internet radio-station! It runs constantly, whether I am at work or at home… Try it! (and I don’t get paid for writing this…)
A side reference, not necessarily something to do with advertising that like, but if you like good house, clubbing and dance music, check out Univers DJ. It’s a french website, but don’t worry, there is an „English“ button, as well. You need to sign in, if you want to download (where was that bugmenot again?), but it’s well worth it. You get 1-2h long DJ-sessions from DJs all over Paris and France. Great Music!
Ok, after having read a little more into the story of bugmenot.com, I can see that even though this was announced as something rather new on the lifehacker blog, it has been, in fact, discussed for about a year now at the Poynter.
well just tried it on one of the major news papers and it didn’t work. Don’t know if this is, because they blocked it or if the service is not running properly. But I will try somewhere else sometime.
And furthermore, it didn’t work at the sites that lifehacker specifically mentioned. What use is that article of lifehacker then, if they didn’t try it?
