- In 1920, the First Music Download Service Was Created (quixoticals) - A lovely spoof: “The Acoustograph was ahead of its time: music was sent over wire (telegraph to be exact). Multiple songs could be stored, up to three. Every month, new compositions could be downloaded.”
- Jumping Steve Jobs! - “Jumping Steve is an iTunes visualizer with an animated Steve Jobs that will dance to your music!” Very daft visualizer for iTunes…
- Technology Review: Computer Speakers for Your Ears Only - “An algorithm that, in theory, will be able to direct sound from a set of speakers–ideally embedded in a computer monitor–into a person’s ears, effectively creating virtual headphones”
- Turn Your Bathtub Into a Big, Dirty Speaker - Gizmodo - “MTI has created the Stereo H2O audio system, a bathtub that plays music right into the water with you. Yep, the bath itself is a speaker.” Shame, I’m more a shower person myself.
- Eventful - Search Local Events Worldwide - “Eventful is the leading events website which enables its community of users to discover, promote, create and share events throughout the world.”
- The Album, a Commodity in Disfavor - New York Times - “Only true fans are buying full albums. Most people don?t really do that anymore… Companies have been considering a system in which fans would pay a fee, perhaps monthly, to ’subscribe’ to their favorite artists and receive a series of recordings, special merchandise, etc.”
