DRM Free Universal Music but Not On Apple’s iTunes
Universal Music Group is conducting an experiment where they’ll be offering most of their music catalog DRM free for a period of six months only, the down side is – Apple’s iTunes is not invited to join the party.
It appears that Universal is boycotting Apple, Gods know for whatever reason it maybe but their plan could possibly backfire if Apple manage to pull off another ‘must have ipod’ and continue dominating the world of mp3 player.
Lenovo Linux PCs
Lenovo, the world’s third largest computer maker announced that it will begin offering Linux as an option in its notebook computers, joining the ranks of other computer makers such as Dell. It appears that the market is responding to a weaker Windows Vista.
Looking at the entire scenario from a different point of view, if the market shows a demand for Linux PC, it could signal a desire for a change in operating system or possible an opportunity to purchase a cheaper computer compare to a preloaded windows. Either way, Microsoft Windows is here to stay for quite sometime.
p.s. I believe Acer would be the next company to announce a choice of Linux operating system.
