Ripped and Burned by iTunes' Hassles
My wife and I had some time on our hands over the holidays. Rather than waste it by having deep conversations, playing with our daughter or contemplating the true meaning of Christmas, we decided to download music at our kitchen table. That was the plan, anyway. Ruth wanted to make a mixed CD to replace her old cassette tapes.

All of us have tried: Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, TiVo, Vudu, Netflix, Blockbuster, Jobs said at the Macworld conference Jan. 15. We've all missed. No one's succeeded yet. The notion is intriguing: finding a way to move video from the Web and from the PCs in consumers' home offices to the big-screen TVs.

Amazon.com is taking its digital music store to the world -- a necessary move if the online retailer hopes to compete with a digital giant like iTunes. Amazon will roll out its music store internationally this year, offering music that is free of DRM copy-protection technology that is more a weight on music sales than a benefit to the industry.

The latest iPhone controversy comes courtesy of a grade-school math problem: If Apple reports that 4 million iPhones have been sold, and AT&T reports that 2 million iPhones have been activated with AT&T accounts, and current estimates peg iPhone sales in the UK, Germany, and France in the neighborhood of 350,000 to 400,000, and if 20 percent of all iPhones sold are hacked and unlocked, how many iPhones are left unaccounted for?

In a review of Apple's iPhone, I wrote glowingly about a few features that had nothing to do with making a call. I loved the simple Notes program used to jot reminders you could then e-mail to a friend or your office inbox. Another plus was the ease of e-mailing a photo, the best such application on any device I have used.

Apple chief executive Steve Jobs continued his tradition of taking home only $1 in salary in 2007, when he also gained $14.6 million on paper by exercising stock options that were about to expire, according to an SEC filing. Jobs has taken a $1 annual salary since returning to the company in 1997 and has hoarded his shares of Apple stock since then, accumulating about 5.5 million.

Graphics chipmaker Nvidia Corp. is in the early developmental stages of its first Mac-bound GPGPUs, AppleInsider has learned.
Short for general-purpose computing on graphics processing units, GPGPUs are a new wave of graphics processors that can be instructed to perform computations previously reserved only for a system's primary CPU, allowing them aid in the speed of non graphics related applications.
