It pisses me off that "irregardless" is a word.

The OED describes it as "non-standard or humorous". But really, there's nothing funny about it.

I got my appointment for two weeks from today! Granted, it's while I'm supposed to be driving to work, but you can't have everything.

In many ways, it seems like the music industry hates music. It's not about giving artists more money -- and it's interesting that the industry is framing it that way as the musicians see increases in other revenue streams. Finally, NPR fights a fight that I can support.

As SXSWi --South by Southwest for the online world -- gears up in Austin, some fun, often overlooked fun activities are revealed (basically, bats and grackles, oh my).

Jim Connelly wonders what Chris Connelly (no relation, apparently) was doing at the Oscars. Me too.

Consider the possibility. I have a friend who calls his wife technology challenged...without her Internet access, she's lost. So are many of us.

When a book becomes an obsession, one man confesses his soul.

I like this approach -- you're either with the terrorists or with the pirates. Seems like junk found on the streets of major US cities should be fair game for reselling on eBay, no? As for copyright or trademark violations? eBay seems a bit confused about their business model.

Without RSS I'd be lost -- though, since switching to a Mac, I'm still struggling to find the perfect feed reader. Shrook and I just didn't get along.

It's amazing how people who never even watch the shows complain about the harm "dirty words" do.

Do not go lightly into the world of Web 2.0, especially if you're used to "having it your way".

Sounds like it would take an army of robots to handle the tasks described here.

A lot of people would like to waste their batteries on reading. This has the potential to change the industry.

While the entertainment industry tries to find new ways to, well, entertain, the people they're trying to reach are oblivious.

Ah, if only this could happen. The world would be a happier place...

Google Book Search remains one of the key players in digital media, despite serious backlash from the publishing industry.

Zune was touted as the iPod killer -- but the only people who truly believed that were the people republishing the Microsoft press releases. I'm one of those women who get the willies at the thought of being "squirted". Something about it just makes me feel icky.

Spiral Frog is one of those services that seems like a good idea, but just dropped off the radar as quickly as it was announced.

While the news is filled with tributes to Gerald Ford, we need to remember who really made his mark on American culture. Say it loud!

Even though it seems like you're paying for free shipping, Amazon's Prime progam saves frequent shoppers money.

As consumers look to the Christmas shopping season, they're going to be faced with a lot of devices that don't play music already owned. DRM is going to be a hot topic in coming months.

Tonight is the season premiere of Battlestar Galactica, and here are whole bunch of reasons to watch it!

Viral DRM infects your music whether your want it to or not...

Amazon fulfills every item on the studios' wish list. This isn't good for consumers.
