our Comes with Music service is not Universal's Total Music
2007-12-08 06:22:00 The fact that there are some similarities shows how the industry is thinking about the future of digital music - but its not a sign of any direct linkage between the offerings.

2007-12-08 06:20:00 And these guys are like ducks to water--literally--when you set them in the water they glow all different colors.

2007-11-26 10:52:00 That bit of kit is an MP3 player that was apparently found on the ground near a bus station, which got spiffed up with some brass and leather and then got paired with a set of vintage Cannonball Empires headphones, whose innards were replaced with those from a set of some decidedly more recent Sony MDR-006 phones.

Meizu M8 MiniOne to debut at CES in January?
2007-11-26 10:34:00 Compared to Meizu 's native China, the US is a haven for intellectual property protection -- and as far as we're concerned, not a single tweak done to the M8's design since its intro has ventured far enough from the iPhone to keep Apple's sharks lawyers from circling.

Don't tase me, bro! The UN says it's torture!
2007-11-26 10:32:00 As for what effect this ruling will have on the sale of tasers, we're guessing "not much" until all the involved parties come into agreement about the lethality (or lack thereof) of the taser.

USB remote (doesn't really) store away in a PCMCIA slot
2007-11-26 10:29:00 Unfortunately, that's exactly what the USB Media Remote from USB Geek does, and it also includes a USB dongle that sticks out too.
