audiography: CDs may be going the way of the Dodo, some whining about the future of the music industry as people more and more go to electronic formats.
However, there appear to be some some bright spots on the horizon, including "subscription" music services like Rhapsody and Emusic that allow unlimited access to songs for a monthly fee, as opposed to Apple's "per track" business model. There also appears to be a growing resurgence in the beauty that is the vinyl record among true audiophiles seeking sound quality.

twistedchick and
jebbypal: Getty images is tracking down people who have infringed on their copyright and aggressively going after them.
If you've raided Getty for icons or for your fansite and haven't ponied up a penny, you might want to start yanking down those pictures...as in yesterday.
Finally, Will Wheaton has his latest ST: TNG DVD commentary up at TV Squad. C'mon, people. It's for Part II of 'Encounter at Farpoint.' As always, expect a good time reading it.

I've never understood this arguement. I grew up with records and I as far as I could observe once CDs came out 99.9% of the listening world went OMG and generally threw out their vinyl! There's supposed to be some sort of 'warmth' that is missing from CDs isn't there? IMHO what's missing are all the crackles, pops and hisses that spoiled the recording. Particularly when you take into account that the problem gets worse with every playing of the record whereas a CD is always perfect.
