| This Week in Tech
-
America's most listened to podcast and winner of the 2005 People's
Choice Podcast Award.
Pandora -
Find New Music, Listen to Custom Internet Radio Stations. Ever since we
started the Music Genome Project our friends would ask: Can you help me
discover more music that I'll like? Those questions often evolved into
great conversations. Each friend told us their favorite artists and
songs, explored the music we suggested, gave us feedback, and we in
turn made new suggestions. Everybody started joking that we were now
their personal DJs. We created Pandora so that we can have that same
kind of conversation with you.
Slashdot -
bills itself as News for Nerds, Stuff That Matters. That's a fair
enough appraisal.

National Enquirer of the tech world. Tech news, reviews, and rumors.
Sometimes painfully sarcastic, it's always an enjoyable read.

Internet, and also includes sample systems, tech roadmaps, CPU pricing, and lots
more.
RIAA Radar -
The RIAA Radar is a tool that music consumers can use to
easily and instantly distinguish whether an album was released by a member of
the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). If you, like I, am
disturbed and outraged by the Gestapo tactics being used by the RIAA, this tool
can keep you from purchasing music released through the RIAA. I have made it my
current practice not to support the RIAA in any way.
