- Warcrafter
- Searching around for something to allow me to "try out" gear, I found Warcrafter, which is pretty neat. It's still "beta", but lots of nice features. And, of course, there's Ghrikk.

- Amazon MP3
- Yeah, I’m jumping on the bandwagon and talking about Amazon MP3, too. But, hey: it’s actually pretty big news. A real competitor to the iTunes Music Store (who, don’t get me wrong, certainly isn’t a “bad” store) that’s done by a company that—no one can …
