Gator/Claria, AOL, Incredifind, CoolWWWSearch and the liberal jerks have a new friend.
ZDNET has an interesting article about Yahoo entering the Music Wars. Wonder if they'll put spyware in their tunes or make you download that horrible toolbar and Yahoo Companion? This is quickly becoming one of my least favorite entities on the web. After some problems in the beginning with spyware they seemed to straighten up. Then TechTV busted them earlier this year because they had spyware hiding in their toolbar thangy. As far as I know it's still there. So, no interest here in their music download service. Anyone know of an alternative IM besides AIM and MSN? LisaPooh tells me Yahoo IM is not completely compatible with Mozilla. Something about not being able to change the avatar's clothes? Ahhhhh, the inhumanity of it all.
Contrary to what Alex and Kevin said on G4TechTV during
The Screensavers Monday night, Sony's newest entry into the portable music player will play MP3s natively. Don't buy the current one (the woman in the blue dress singing a weird rendition of Aerosmith's Walk This Way commercial?). It uses Sony's ATRAC format. The newest version ships next month and is pricy. Read about it at
The Register.
Time to get busy. Have casual Wednesday.
