Review: Coldplay is one fine specimen of arena rock | democratandchronicle.com | Democrat and Chronicle

MSN Mobile Music: Worst idea ever? | Digital Noise: Music and Tech - CNET News
"Now here's a recipe for success: Take a brand that your parent company's been on the verge of abandoning for the last four years. Slap it on a new music download store for mobile phones. Encrust all the tracks with DRM, even though the rest of the music download industry is finally moving away from DRM. Make sure that the downloads are tethered to the user's handset, so they can't keep them when they upgrade phones in a year or two. Charge more than the competition."

Magnetic guitar cables prevent pops, jack damage | Digital Noise: Music & Tech - CNET News.com
"They can't prevent you from stepping on your cord, but when you do there's no pop, no buzz, and you can reattach them very quickly. They're also excellent for guitarists who like to change axes between songs, but lack the roadies or foresight to do the busy work of turning on the bypass each time."
