Yahoo has a giant $60 rate increase if your yahoo music contract ends. I just received this email
"Dear Yahoo! Music Unlimited Subscriber,
We hope you are enjoying listening to over 1 million songs with Yahoo! Music Unlimited. You are receiving this email because you have used or currently use the To Go feature to fill up your portable device with Yahoo! Music Unlimited subscription songs.
We'd like to let you know that the cost of a Yahoo! Music Unlimited subscription with the To Go feature has increased from $59.88 to $119.88 per year for an annual subscription. Our low introductory price no longer supports the rising cost of digital music rights management. Despite this increase, Yahoo! Music Unlimited offers one of the lowest prices anywhere for transferring subscription music to a portable device.
Your subscription will auto-renew soon, and your credit card will be charged the annual fee of $119.88. Your subscription will continue to auto-renew annually, or until you cancel.
If you do not wish to use the To Go feature at the new price, you may downgrade your subscription before your billing renewal date to Yahoo! Music Unlimited without portability.
If you have further questions, you may contact Customer Care.
Thanks for using Yahoo! Music Unlimited.
-Yahoo! Music Customer Care"
This is a big increse for a music service and I am just woundering if this is a yahoo dection or if this is a RIAA dection. I for one think that we should fight the increase and tell the RIAA what steve jobs told them, so they don't get to gready and decied to increase the rate even more.
This is the funniest video on the net, I thought that everyone had seen it by now but I still show this to people and they say they have never seen it before.
I Use digg alot I probably spend more then half of my Internet time on digg and trust me I spend alot of time on the net. I have submitted some story's to digg and have successfully got to the front page 15 times at this moment. 2 of those 15 stories effected corporations, the first one was "FOX says you can get shows from friends" which was when you went to the fox site it said you could get a show from a friend by any source. Fox was effected by this story if you go to the site now it says "Programs that have been recorded off the air cannot be sold or rented or forwarded to you via the Internet without authorization from their copyright owner, so don't be fooled if someone offers to sell or rent you a copy they've made - it's an illegal transaction."
Digg effects these corporations because digg drives so much traffic to the place that the company starts to wounder why their would be that much traffic their, when they finally catch on after a few days then the change what ever is wrong.
Another story that I posted on digg that effect a corporation was the recent "sprint gives out customers data when you call" this story was about how you could call 1-877-785-8414 and then type in a sprint customer phone number and it would read back to you all of the coustemers data. This is a big security whole that sprint made, who knows why they need this number but the fact is it got out their.
Sprint now has taken the number down and when you call it you get a dud-dud- the number you have dialed, just like it was never their. I bet out of the almost 4,000 that dugg it about 1/4 or more called and complained to a sprint employee and tied them up for a significant amount of time, which then would cost sprint even more money because it would tie up their staff and phone lines.
The bottom line of the blog entry is that it digg can effect a large amount of people or a large company. Digg is a powerful resource that is totally user driven so it is mostly what you want to see and not junk.
You can now check your Xbox Live friends list from MSN Windows Live Messenger. I dont currently own a 360 but i think this is a cool bonus for xbox live users.
Here is what the letter says to all costumers on Amazon's site.

I think I like this blog so much because I worked in retail and that also include returns which was the worst part of the job. Well check it out here
That's right, today is the date that is featured on iCal's icon by default, so that means when you launch iCal today the icon won't change.
