Engadget's relaunch giveaways: let's start with a Zune (Engadget)

Sep 19th 2006 5:14PM Jason Mraz - After an Afternoon

Previously on TV Squad (AOL TV)

Jan 30th 2006 12:18AM While I can see their use, I've never read through the weekly recaps on TV Squad or any of the other Weblogs, Inc. sites (e.g. Engadget).

ASCII Movie Player converts QuickTime to ASCII (Download Squad)

Oct 22nd 2005 2:45PM VLC does this already (change video output to color ASCII).

Ask Download Squad: How do you IM? (Download Squad)

Sep 3rd 2005 11:13PM I use an old version of AIM with DeadAIM. Everyone I know is on AIM, so running anything else isn't really worth it. I started using Yahoo IM recently as well, but I have a near-empty buddy list on that.

Pandora music service now out of beta (Download Squad)

Sep 2nd 2005 4:51PM The music personalization feature is admittedly better than most other services (Yahoo, Napster, etc.), but it doesn't seem really worth paying for Pandora when Yahoo is only an additional $2/month more (and for that, you get on-demand music, and portability, although Yahoo's customized radio is admittedly not as innovative or interesting as Pandora's). What would be _really_ cool is Pandora licensing Music Genome Project to other services (Yahoo, Napster, Rhapsody, iTunes), to help with their music suggestion and radio services. This might even be more of a money-maker for Pandora, and it'd allow them to focus on the unique aspect of their service (annotation of songs), instead of worrying about content delivery.

Pandora: web-based music service that finds your favorites (Download Squad)

Aug 21st 2005 7:16PM Sounds pretty similar to Launchast/Yahoo Music Engine/Unlimited. Although the Music Genome Project looks pretty unique and interesting.
