Dell WANTS IN on the MP3 player and music retailing scene?
Box-shifter par excellence Dell is planning to enter the MP3 player market, according to a bit of sniffing around from the Wall Street Journal.
The WSJ reckons that Dell wants a bit of the lucrative music retailing pie as well, so is planning to launch what industry experts will be calling an “iTunes killer” alongside its alleged range of players…

Steve Jobs "I'm an arrogant **** but I'm not sick"
Following Apple’s incredible share price drop caused by recent Steve Jobs health scares, it seems Apple is trying to reassure people that Steve’s A-OK and full of beans, vigour and, we might even suggest, spunk.
Originally, Apple put Steve’s visible weight loss down to a “common bug” – but the truth is, slowly, beginning to out. Thanks to Steve phoning a journalist and giving him the full facts.
“This is Steve Jobs. You think I’m an arrogant…
Journey-themed MP3 player – soft rock singalongs
Remember Journey? They took part in offences against popular music in the 1980s and worryingly, they still seem to be around today. Now knocking out MP3 players too…
Thanko goes straight with the DTLMP42G media player
Remember Thanko? Best known for novelty ties, strange alarm clocks and just about every other quirky/odd bit of tech out of the far east, it’s finally gone and put out a normal gadget – the DTLMP42G media player…
Creative to roll out art-inspired ZEN Mozaic media players
Elegance, simplicity, functionality, subtlety. These are words that you might use to describe a certainly overwhelming popular portable music player. That poses a problem for rival manufacturers who now have to slash a few of those adjectives off their list or risk just being complete clones.
Creative has the spirit though, it’s eschewed elegance and subtlety in favour of a new bold, tiled design obviously inspired either by the Dorchester Roman town house or the sight of a chess board falling into a Battenberg cake mix. Creative wouldn’t be the first though.
How to… make it look like someone's already stolen your car stereo
Sounds like a very stupid way to spend a Sunday afternoon, but wait. Wait until you’ve seen the photograph.
The idea behind this superb Instructables piece is to make it look like someone’s ripped out your car stereo – so no one bothers trying to rip out your car stereo. It’s the in-car equivalent of walking around town with torn clothes and blood on your face, so no one bothers mugging you.
It’s one man’s idea. One man’s way to stop the local glue-sniffers from nicking his car stereo every Friday night, by covering up the docking clips and making it look like there’s nothing…

iTunes UK price cut cancelled – blame the credit crunch. Or the oil price. Or George Bush
Six months ago we got marginally excited. Marginally excited about possibly paying a bit less for our iTunes downloads in the UK, thanks to an EU complaint about UK buyers being charged more than our European “friends.”
Well. That’s not happening any more. Six months ago, 99cents were worth 74 Great British Pence, triggering the EU to ask Apple to cut its UK prices to make things all fair and equal in EuroWorld. But now, thanks to the plummeting pound/euro exchange…
