Microsoft Moots 'Universal' MP3 Player Dock
The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) has established a working group to develop a universal docking standard for portable devices, the US-centric organisation announced this week. The move is being driven by Microsoft - at least, the software giant is the only company to be granted quotation space on the CEA press release, and there's a Microsoft staffer in the working group's chair. It's not hard to see why. Having failed to beat the iPod using proprietary technology - the Windows Media format - it's try to beat it using a sharper weapon: the open standard it defines.

Google history - Milestones
Google is a play on the word googol, which was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, Mathematics and the Imagination by Kasner and James Newman. It refers to the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. Google's use of the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense, seemingly infinite amount of information available on the web.

05.11.2008Tenth of junk email now MP3 spam
Anti-spam firm MXSweep has reported that MP3-based pump-and-dump spam now accounts for up to 10 per cent of all spam sent. The penny stocks are being
promoted with MP3 voice messages with deceptive sounding names like santana.mp3, bspears.mp3 or coolringtone.mp3. The messages are much larger than
image spam and PDF spam, and can reach 147KB.
For the most part the message contents are empty with subject headers containing just Fwd: or
Re: or the name of the file attachment. File names have been categorised as emotional (dadsong.mp3, oursong.mp3, weddingsong.mp3), well-known artists
and songs (santana.mp3, sayyousayme.mp3, smashingpumpkins.mp3), or sounds that people might want to listen to (answeringmachine.mp3, coolringtone.mp3,
listentothis.mp3).

12.01.2006MP3 spam on the rise, despite being utterly stupid
As antispam tools and e-mail users become more sophisticated, spammers are turning to new mediums to get their unwelcome messages through filters and
into inboxes. One of the more recent developments is spam with attached MP3 files. One security software vendor,
MXSweep, is reporting that MP3 spam now accounts for between 7 and 10 percent of all spam being sent.
The
files are given innocuous-sounding names like elvis.mp3, oursong.mp3, smashingpumpkins.mp3, or coolringtone.mp3. The payload is disappointing: a voice
recording touting the virtues of some corporate stock; in other words, it's pump-and-dump stock spam in a new format. It's also a dumb idea. The
overlap of those gullible enough to click on MP3 files of unknown provenance and those willing and able to invest in a stock that they've never heard
of is certainly minute. It's bound to be more of an annoyance than anything else, and seems unlikely to result in the desired stock purchases.

listener's ear. "Campaigners say a safe listening level is below 85 decibels for 40 hours use a week, but some MP3 players play music at up to
120 decibels.

26.02.2007Amazon MP3 to expand DRM-Free Music Store, Thanks to Sony
Amazon.com plans to make DRM-free MP3 music downloads from Sony BMG Music Entertainment available to customers on Amazon MP3 later this month, making
Amazon MP3 the only retailer to offer customers DRM-free MP3s from all four major music labels (in addition to over 33,000 independent labels).
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: "Finally, a real iTunes competitor". Amazon's DRM-free MP3 digital music store, where every
song is playable on virtually any digital music-capable device, prices songs from 89 cents to 99 cents.

million songs from more than 270,000 artists. Amazon did not disclose a specific launch timeline for individual Amazon international websites. If you
ask me, Apple better go completely DRM-free quickly or iTunes will slowly begin to feel the wrath of a real competitor.

Warner Music Group is making its music available for US downloads from Amazon in MP3 format without copy protection.
Warner had been

store is a major US competitor to Apple's iTunes, which uses Digital Rights Management (DRM) to restrict the use of some of its tracks.
Warner's artists include Led Zeppelin, Aretha Franklin and Sean Paul.
