Tech: Again, MS is late to the game with its new Zune. Here’s why.

  • Why would we want to listen to HD radio when we can stream stuff from the Internet? source
  • It refers to itself as having a HD display, but that display is smaller than the iPhone. *hmm* source
  • Just because a music player can connect to a video game system doesn’t mean it should. source
  • It supposedly has a Web browser, but if its name is “Internet Explorer,” no way Jose. source
  • Lauren probably wouldn’t want one because it’s trying too hard to be really hip. source

Politics, Tech: Here’s a random argument in favor of taxing e-mail

  • The tax will not stop unsolicited communications, just as post charges limit, but do not kill, junk mail. An email tax would force senders to apply a simple test: is this message worth a penny to send?
  • Prospect Magazine contributor Edward Gottesman • On the idea of taxing e-mail as a way to stop spam. Gottesman, chairman of an international investment company and a lawyer, says the minimal charge – just like sending a letter – would help deter spammers without limiting e-mail communications. One problem, dude: E-mail’s already so last century. Everyone’s just going to use Facebook or Twitter instead and e-mail would become irrelevant. • source
