Wal-mart begins selling DRM-free MP3s

Well, it's great to see people disagree with my comment above. For clarity's sake, I wasn't condoning stealing music via torrents, just highlighting that it is how a large number of young people access digital music.

I work in the online music industry and we hate DRM, love legal downloads, but it's currently not profitable.

It is true that DRM free downloads will increase sales but the truth is that in some regions it's only going to be a minimal increase and most people will still acquire (read steal) their music from the torrents.

Wal-mart begins selling DRM-free MP3s

The labels like to deceive themselves into thinking that removing DRM will spur digital sales. DRM isn't the reason people aren't buying digital music, rather it's the availability of music via torrents and other p2p systems. Like someone once said "why pay when you can get it for 'free'?"

Samsung intros internet-enabled SMT-i8080 phone

Alan Sugar's Amstrad tried and failed to sell this idea - the E-m@iler! Granted Samsung's offering looks nicer and probably has better features but everyone has a PC/Laptop at home, no one needs a wired telephone pretending to be a PC.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
