POPSVirgin Media is the Law Another BBC post, I do read other sites, but I figured this I should share. Virgin plan to send letters to those people it feels are downloading and sharing music, working in conjunction with the BPI. Ok, so I know there is the whole legal issue here, but the context of the article is more related to TV shows, and I must admit, the guy has a point, we've all done it at some point I'm sure, whether it's downloading, or streaming from site like youtube. For instance, right now I'm watching music videos for Poets of the Fall on youtube, totally illegal, but the easiest way to see them. At the moment I'm using the 20Mb service from Virgin, and although it suits my needs (I have a housemate who uses it lots, I play the xbox online lots, and I host an FTP server for my dad to backup his files every night, so bandwidth usage is hgh) I may consider changing if this is the shape of things to come.

POPSWhy Your Electric Bill Is So High You know those little black power supply boxes that sit on the cord between your gizmos and the outlet? Those things suck up power even when the device isn't in use, and that drain can add up. It's a good idea to put all your consoles on a power strip and shut them off at the source when you're not using them -- why pay all that money to fuel a device you're not enjoying?

POPSMicrosoft says screw the Long Tail Way to go Microsoft. The whole point of the digital distribution era is it affords content makers the opportunity to sell their content without worrying about mass appeal (Long Tail economics). Microsoft is now eviscerating its digital distribution platform, Xbox Live Arcade, in favor of digitally stocking "good" games (and thereby deleting unpopular ones from its catalog). While the idea isn't unsound if Microsoft wants to build a robust library, it certainly goes against the entire grain of the digital age.

POPSNintendo Launches WiiWare Nintendo has a lot of catching up to do in the downloadable game space -- until now, all it has sold is ports of its own old console games. It's interesting to see the company focusing on new and indie developers, but that may not deliver enough buzz to make the service popular.

POPSBlu-Ray Coming To Xbox 360 Soon? This looks promising. Engadget is reporting that Sony is "in talks" with Microsoft and Apple about putting Blu-ray players in Xbox 360s, and presumably Macbooks.

POPSThe Wii whips the competition From the moment I heard Shigeru Miyamoto describe the concept behind the Wii (then codenamed Revolution) I knew they'd have a hit on their hands if they got it right. I got mine last Christmas, and they're still selling so fast Nintendo can't keep them on shelves - it's an amazing system, and they're redefining the whole market by creating a new class of "casual gamers". My parents, in-laws, and even my grandmother have played and love the Wii.
