Back in 2006, we noted that the music recording industry was still in the denial stage. Now, Dixon says that it seems to be "stuck cycling between Anger, Bargaining, and Depression -- as it still lashes out by suing its own...http://techdirt.com/articles/20080518/0633371155.shtml The One Hit Wonder Finds Its Starkest Graphical Expression- May 21, 2008 The One Hit Wonder Finds Its Starkest Graphical ExpressionTags: graphical expression starkest finds wonderhttp://yourmonkeycalled.com/post/35478385 iPhone theme sullies Vista's good name- May 21, 2008 Filed under: Cellphones, Handhelds For those with identity crises, great senses of humor, or serious cases of Vista Fever, Spec-Works' VistaPerfection theme for the iPhone brings all the splendors of Windows Vista -- well, the important visual aspects, anyway -- to your pocket in a way that we can safely say Microsoft never intended.
