Today’s links of interest:
- The rise and fall of the "bus plunge" story
Yet another victim of the digitialization of media. - Coming Soon via Your TiVo: Internet Video on Television
Yup. Like the XBox, this is already hooked up to your TV. By this time next year, you really won’t have any excuse for missing anything. - Installing the Zune… sucked – Engadget
A first look at Zune’s software and it’s not good. The usual Microsoft nightmare installation, but with nice photography. - RIAA: we love fair use. No, really!
There’s a catch, of course. The RIAA has a radically different notion about what constitute fair use. They still don’t believe in consumer rights. - Justin Long says he’s still the Mac guy

Move over Sundance and all that — does a low barrier for entry mean we’re all going to be auteurs? - How many hits?

Well, they’re back!! - Sony’s PS3 has problems running PS, PS2 games
Oops. - American Hair Metal
Still very silly, some twenty years down the line.
