Jumping Off The S.S. Microsoft


Sony is making a run on Apple's market share by introducing its own answer to the iPod. But here's what I don't get. It uses a proprietary file format that isn't compatible with any of the existing on-line music stores. It doesn't even play MP3s. Are the executives at Sony high? I can't imagine that many people would be willing to give up their MP3 collections for the sake of a new Walkman. I don't think Steve Jobs will lose any sleep over this.

Okay, okay, so I have no excuse to switch to Firefox, as some of you made clear in your comments. By the way, I do appreciate all the comments you guys are leaving. They're fun to read and it makes me a little less worried that I'm talking to myself.

Check out this PDA for people who are blind. It's got Bluetooth, WiFi, speech output, the works. Very cool. It's not as portable as a Palm Tungsten, but it's a step in the right direction.
