The new pirate busting idea: second hand music
Piracy is a massive problem in the music industry as it is getting easier and easier to get your music free off the Internet. Obviously the music industry is trying to keep up, and the people at Bopaboo (what a weird name!) think they have come up with a solution: second hand music. But not any old music, oh no, you can now buy used digital music. “How on earth does this work?” I hear you cry, and that is exactly what I thought, but let me first explain the idea behind this and what is supposed to happen. . . .
Who’s On Crack in tech: Black Friday ’08 edition
This is where we call out the tech moves that seem odd, out of touch or just plain straight up smokin’ crack. This week sees posturing, positioning and flat out insanity.
Here’s what caught my eye this week:
- Zune Phone inbound?
- Kindle 2 sucking life out of holiday sales?
- 7-11′s new video section
- HDTVs for pennies?
Follow me into the madness.
More storage for the Eee PC
The Eee PC has been the most popular net book since it started selling, namely because it was the first, but also because it is damn good at what it does. However a few people have some qualms with it, mainly about the fairly low storage that it offers: 12GB. I know I could easily fill that in a day and obviously the people at the Japanese company GreenHouse agree with me as they have released some Eee PC hard drive upgrades.
You can now replace your measly 12GB SSD with either the 32GB or 64GB modules which will over quintuple your storage, making the Eee PC a much more attractive option. The specifications aren’t awful (considering that it is for the Eee PC) with 35MB/s and 15MB/s, but comparing that to a desktop internal hard drive it is poor and even for a laptop it is slow. What’s it cost to upgrade that Eee? Keep reading.
HD-capable Flip Mino Camcorder arrives just in time for the holidays
If the just released Flip Mino HD would be available in any of the local stores in the country where I’m currently residing, I would certainly not hesitate in getting this as a gift to myself. In fact, I might even get another one for my son. The Flip Mino may be so cool and attractive enough to get you to buy it even before you take a look at its specs. In fac,t you don’t have to worry about the specs, as you would certainly not be short changed in this department.
The Flip Mino HD is Pure Digital’s take on HD-capable camcorder market. And instead of clashing with the other HD-capable camcorders in coming out with their own units touting support for large-capacity storage SD cards, Pure Digital opted to use built-in 4GB flash memory only. For some camcorder users this would be enough for a one-hour video which they can easily upload to YouTube or other video sharing sites. Find out more after the break.
Popular Science recognizes we all want to be the DJ
Popular science just awarded Pacemaker, a mp3 player that turns anyone into a DJ, as a “Best of what’s new” winner in the Gadgets category. The device is part of a larger platform that encompasses a user community which provides legal uploading and mix sharing as well as a desktop application.
The Pacemaker at its gadget-y heart is a 120GB mp3 player with display and touchpad. Various inputs allow some crazy stuff, all in a very mobile little unit. The device features multifunction buttons that allow different inputs on the touchpad. I am certain it is easier to use than the diagram which outlines all the functionality shows.
