Pants on fire; now that’s a headline for you. Too bad the story’s
your basic lithium-ion battery blah-blah-blah. In bigger news of the day,
the RIAA wins the Jammie Thomas case, to the tune of $220,000, unless they
play nice. Also, rumor mill points to Mac Nano, and Linux boxes are running

The head of litigation for Sony BMG says ripping CDs is
essentially stealing. Well, that makes me wonder if playing CDs is also
stealing. At least, playing a CD twice is stealing, right? Where have
logic and good sense gone? Meanwhile, we celebrate the launch of new

It’s hard to find just the right portable music player. Auditioning
candidates, trying them out on the street, looking for something that won’t
dole out tons of abuse. Maybe the Zune 2 can land this coveted position. In

A Chinese MMORPG refuses to allow male players to play as female
characters, which (a) is ridiculous, and (b) sparked Tom to confess that he

Why do you have to be so mean, Apple? The company issued a statement
Monday saying its next firmware update will likely break unlocked iPhones.
