Usually around September or so, Apple updates their iPod line, and with it, the iTunes program. While there’s been some chatter about what the next update of the software will be, a German blogger has leaked what are supposedly screen shots of iTunes 9. While nothing has been confirmed by Apple, who like to play things [...]

The world felt a great loss when Nine Inch Nails’ mastermind Trent Reznor quit the Twitter for good (albeit not cold turkey).

Want some random statistics about the interwebs that are probably too out of context to mean anything? Cool: research from the NPD Group says active Twitter users buy 77% more digital music downloads on average than non-users. The study says 34% of all Twitter users have bought digital music in the last three months, compared [...]

Compared to many other music industry veterans, Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor just gets it when it comes to new media. He gave up (see what we did there?) on major labels, instead distributing his last album, The Slip, via the Internet. And the leadup to his studio album before that, Year Zero, was an elaborate [...]

Looks like fake Danzig’s days are numbered. Twitter is taking action against impersonators of celebrities and brands, even if they are clearly parodies. This decision follows the most recent fake twitter incident and lawsuit involving St. Louis Cardinals Manager Tony LaRussa. According to Twitter’s blog post, they’re not necessarily going to be heavy handed with [...]
