And so are online music subscriptions.
So The Unofficial Apple Weblog received an anonymous tip that Apple is set to announce a subscription service for iTunes.
To TUAW’s credit, they state right at the beginning of their post that this is probably B.S. Unfortunately, even with that preface, that rumor is now spreading across the intertubes. [...]

Rumors are stupid
Wait, that’s $400 WITH a contract?!?
Setting: An average Rogers store. Center stage is the iPhone podium while stage right and back hold displays of various GSM phones. Stage left is a sales counter, behind which stands Sales Dude.
Me: Excuse me, how much for the Blackberry Bold?
Sales Dude: That’ll be four-hundred dollars.
Me: Wow, I can swing that.
Sales Dude: Alright, let me [...]
Xobni - a day late, a buck short for me
Xobni, a product I’ve been interested in for some time has finally been released to the public.
It’s a Microsoft Outlook extension that claims to find the “hidden social network” in your e-mails. It’s functions do look really cool. For example, when you click the profile of someone you e-mail regularly, it’ll show things like [...]
Wow, why does Techmeme suck?
Today’s top story: Some guy I’ve only heard of passing deletes his Twitter account!
I suppose I’m perpetuating the insinuated complaint in this post by writing about it, but it needs to be said. I’m trying to imagine the level of ridicule that would be doled out if any other news outlet led with a story [...]
Your blog asplode…
Upgraded to the new version of Wordpress (2.5) and while the administrative controls look really good now…it sorta broke the physical blog…hence the design might be a little on the messy side until I fix it.
Blah, good times. Good times.
My ironic purchase of the latest issue of Wired
I picked up the March issue of Wired today to read editor-in-chief Chris Anderson’s feature on the so-called “freeconomy” that’s been moving a long steadily as the Internet has become more popular: free music downloads, reading newspapers for free online, free e-mail from various web mail providers, et cetera.
The purchase was ironic since I had [...]
The Orange Box: How to kill a long weekend…
Apparently it’s Sunday and I’m not sure where the rest of my weekend went. I think it has something to do with having purchased The Orange Box on Friday.
I’m pretty late to the part on this one (It came out mid-2007) but it’s mine now and it’s taken over.
See, The Orange Box [...]
I Can Has Cheezburger - now with social network
It seems it’s no longer possible to be taken seriously as a web site unless you’ve got some kind of social network attached. Case in point: I Can Has Cheezburger has launched a beta version of it’s own social network.
Now along with browsing pictures of cats with funny captions and commenting on them using [...]
Lessons from Ottawa BarCamp 4
Ottawa BarCamp 4 was my first time attending the “open source” conference and let me say, it was great being around such a large group of uber-geeks. I swear, I’ve never seen so many Moleskine notebooks in one place.
That said, I learned some scary stuff from the seminars.
Alec Saunders demonstrated how Facebook has [...]
My problem with Facebook
It seems every time I meet a new acquaintance, the last thing they ask before parting ways is, “Do you have Facebook? You should add me!”
Now, I don’t know if this has officially replaced the more customary exchange of business cards but my stock response is usually, “Facebook? Eww!”
But as I call myself a technology [...]
