Many years ago I jumped onto the Audible.com bandwagon. With a NYC work commute approaching two hours on slow train days I needed something that would keep my brain occupied. At least more so than listening to “Rocking the Suburbs” fifteen times a week. It is with great interest as I watch how Amazon handles the acquisition of my old favorite digitally distributed audio book retailer. ... read more |

It sounds as if Apple’s entry into the home rental market isn’t without some trials. Then again, this is a new piece of technology so it’s expected to have some quirks.

Late night shows are almost definitely out of the question due to my schedule. That hasn’t been a problem recently because the highlights of shows like The Tonight Show or Late Night with Conan O’Brian showed up on YouTube courtesy of NBC. That’s right – fully legal and everything. Unfortunately, that’s come to an end as NBC has removed its “channel” from YouTube’s webspace. ... read more |

NBC Universal made a huge fuss in the past few weeks about wanting to raise the price on episodes of their hit television shows on iTunes. Instead of the $1.99 purchase price iTunes currently offers television shows at, the network wanted to bump the price up to $4.99. Apple refused and NBC walked away from iTunes, taking Heroes, Battlestar Galacticia, and The Office over to Amazon’s digital download service.
