20:51 - Overheard on BART

Two teenagers get on the train, one with iPod earbuds hanging out of his ears.
IPOD KID: How come you don't bring your Zen anywhere?
OTHER KID: <shrug> It's broken.
IPOD KID: You should get an iPod.

How did this escape my notice? 3D Connexion's SpaceNavigator now supports Google Earth (4.1) on the Mac.
Great. There goes my weekend. Good thing I already got the driving part done... and now I can relive it in true 3D virtuality, the way I've dreamed since the first Microsoft Flight Simulator.

What better way to make people not want to file-share their DRM-free music than to hide their personal information in it?

This is cool and all, but didn't I see this same demo a few months ago in that iPhone thing?
(Though let's be fair: photos on a tabletop-sized device like this one are probably a lot more useful and manipulable than on a phone. And the way they interoperate with digital cameras and cellphones and coffee mugs and such really is a triumph of interface design.)

That's what they're calling the new DRM-free EMI music. Sweet.
And that's how they're distinguished in the iTunes interface: with a "+" icon that leads to this:
Very nice.
