K-I-S-S-I-N-G...Well, now that I've gone and embedded that childhood song in your heads for the rest of the day, I thought I'd distract your growing anger with me with a quick redirect to the current juicy bit of gossip goodness floating about on the Internets: Sony and Apple were supposedly in talks to create a hybrid Apple/Sony iTunes Music Store. This would follow along with other stories of Sony and Apple collaboration, but in a new exciting, and legally tense area where I wouldn't have imagined it happening.
Unfortunately for us all, Sony wasn't really interested in anything serious. They were just up in the tree and felt moved by the moment. So here we are, left with two different music stores, both plagued by that nasty little STD: DRM.

That truely is a phenominally gross analogy, but true non-the-less. Now the real question as we are 2/3rds of the way through the year is: "Why the heck did the CEO of Sony come onstage in January to proclaim the year of HD anyway?"

and let's all thank God for the iPod...
as for the stores... not much of good/bad news around here (Brazil), since we cannot buy songs from either one of those stores, DRM or not.

Sony seems to have fallen out of the tree and impaled itself on an iPod shuffle.
