DR 950, er, DR-900 Officially Unveiled After blogging about Asus' new DR-950 eReader in January, it looks like Asus has finally officially unveiled the DR-900 to the expectant and not-so-expectant masses. Wait, DR-900? Hey, what happened to the DR-950? Oh my head... (keeping up with all these eBook readers is becoming a nightmare). Anywho, Engadget managed to catch a glimpse of the device at CeBIT in Germany and the info they mention basically sounds like a rehash of what we know about the DR-950, e.g. 9-inch display with 1024 x 768 resolution, They did mention that while PDF's look crisp, the touchscreen isn't quite as responsive as they would like. Then again, this is just basically a demo so there likely will be more tweaks before the DR-900, 950, or 9-whatever-it-is launches at retail. As commenter Bic pointed out, the DR-900 uses SiPix instead of E Ink. The difference? According to epapercentral.com, SiPix uses a single white particle in a dye while E Ink uses a double particle in clear fluid.

Universal Music Group Loses Legal Battle With Dancing Baby Even though Universal Music Group (UMG) has annouced an 8.4% increase in its digital music sales this week, this financial achievement has been somewhat eclipsed by news in the blogsphere that it has been defeated by a dancing baby. For those of you who aren't familiar with the case, Stephanie Lenz posted a video on YouTube in 2007 of her toddler which contained Prince's Lets Go Crazy song playing in the background. UMG promptly issued a takedown notice to YouTube who removed the 30-second video clip. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) then argued that the video was in the realms of 'fair use'. Over two and a half years later, the legal battle has now been resolved with Judge Jeremy Fogel granting Lenz's partial summary judgment. This will now enable Stephanie Lenz (and her dancing tot) to recover the appropriate fees and costs from UMG. Related Articles:

Wal-Mart Moves Into Video With VUDU Deal Retail giant, Wal-Mart, has announced via its Website that it has inked a deal with the VUDU video service. Since its inception in 2004, the VUDU media technology company has specialized in developing devices like the VUDU Box to deliver on-demand video such as movies. With the likes of iTunes and Amazon already offering multimedia content, Wal-Mart who also provide digital music downloads are hoping to muscle into the increasingly popular on-demand video market too. Edward Lichty who is VUDU's executive vice president said, "We are excited about the opportunity to take our company's vision to the next level, VUDU's services and Apps platform will give Wal-Mart a powerful new vehicle to offer customers the content they want in a way that expands the frontier of quality, value and convenience." Even though the official announcement doesn't reveal the financial value of the deal, a report by The Wall Street Journal puts the sum at 'slightly more' than $100 million. Related Articles:

Web Radio: Tune into Thousands of Radio Stations From Your Desktop If you're old enough (like me) to remember when there wasn't an Internet, then you'll probably have memories of fiddling around with the tuner on your radio trying to find a decent music station to listen to. If you were really lucky, you may have also had a built-in analog tape deck that you could use to record radio onto compact cassette tape. These days, it's so much easier (and convenient) to listen to radio. With the invention of the Internet, we are now accustomed to listening to music on-demand via streaming audio, MP3 downloads, music services, and other Internet-based delivery methods. Web radio, or more commonly referred to as Internet radio, is very similar to traditional radio in that you can tune into radio stations that broadcast over the Internet; a lot of terrestrial-based stations also broadcast over the Web. However, one of the biggest advantages of using this technology, is that you can access thousands of stations from all over the world -- something that couldn't be done before the digital age. But how do we access this enormous resource of music? One of the most convenient ways is to use software that can play streaming music straight to your desktop. As well as popular software media players such as iTunes, Windows Media Player, and Winamp which can access Web radio, there's alternative light-weight applications that specialize in delivering Internet radio. The big advantage of using a dedicated Web radio software program is that many of them offer more functions such as being able to record what you're listening to -- similar to the old cassette tape. For more information on listening to and recording Internet radio stations, be sure to read our article on Free Web Radio Software. Related Articles:
