Wacom grabs the attention of artists with the Inkling

The last time we heard from Wacom, the company was just releasing its Bamboo Stylus for the iPad. The Bamboo Stylus took advantage of applications that required users to write and draw on the iPad’s capacitive screen. It’s appropriate that Wacom would introduce a new product called the Inkling that uses the same basic concept of the Bamboo Stylus, but takes it to another level.

Songza will rock you, but are they legal?

Hey, if thousands of people are doing it, it can’t be wrong…..right? That’s the million dollar question about one of the newest music sites on the Web. Songza advertises itself as a “music search engine and Internet jukebox”. Ummm, ok. Or, one might also say they are a site you can go to in order to search out music and be able to listen to and download it for free. I’m just sayin’.

With 28 million songs instantly playable on the site, 10 month old Songza is luring in the music-seeking crowd pretty nicely. And they make their songs playable in a rather creative way. When you go on their site and enter the song or band title of your choosing, Songza will search the huge inventory of music videos on YouTube looking for it. Then, it streams the audio of the song, while hiding the video in an unseen margin of the browser. Pretty dang tricky, but…..is it actually legal?
