...play! I'd totally come to that!" In two hours, the comment was up on my pal Brownback's site and also on the pages of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney, Dennis Kucinich, Duncan Hunter and Chris Dodd. I was taken with Dodd since his page includes his iPod playlists on the "Dodd Podd"--songs from Ben Lee, the Silversun Pickups, Arcade Fire. Who doesn't like a friend who turns them on to new music? But I finally had to eliminate Dodd because the dude kept sending me bulletins. One asked me to vote in an online poll...
...filled out their course evaluations either until they do so or until a certain amount of time has passed. The problem is that a student’s incentives to fill out their CUE evaluations—which at present amount to a miniscule chance of winning a free iPod or cash for one’s house—fail to offset the time it takes to fill out evaluations, especially if a student may not reap the benefit of using the CUE guide to shop for classes in the future. The opportunity to see one?...
...real consequences of DRM may have nothing to do with piracy. One side effect of Apple's FairPlay software is that music purchased on iTunes plays only on Apple products--i.e., on iPods. The result is that DRM helps perpetuate Apple's quasi-monopoly in the portable digital-music-player market, which ironically has a slightly Microsoftesque air about it.

If--meaning when--Apple drops DRM for good, the playing field on the hardware side will get a whole lot more level and the iPod will have a whole lot more...
...best-selling kei such as the Move and Suzuki's Wagon R are practical and conservative. But manufacturers introduced 11 new models last year, among them sportier, more technologically sophisticated cars geared for younger buyers. Mitsubishi automotive designer Akinori Nakanishi likens the company's new Mitsubishi i to an iPod Nano on wheels, down to the bright colors. (A deluxe version comes with a docking port for a Nano and a satellite navigation system.) Mini design might sound like dull work-tight budgets, less room for bells and whistles-but Nakanishi says his team welcomed the challenge of coloring within...
...white-collar office may be the best friend the entertainment industry has these days. The computer has erased the difference between work and play--YouTube, Web comics, online TV series--and nowhere is this symbiosis more important than in music. The iPod and iTunes, which allow you to take your music collection on your commute and to your desk, made Apple cool again. Radio stations market their online streams to cubicle jockeys. The music biz owes its digital-age existence in large part to officeworkers and their earbuds...
