cscoman on "RE: Best Buy purchases Napster for $121 million"

Are you still stuck in 2000? The Napster you talk about is not the Napster Best Buy purchased today. The Napster you speak of died in court. The name and logos were bought by Roxio and a LEGAL music service was started with the assets they owned from MP3.com/pressplay.com and such. It is just Napster by name. I am sure Sean Fanning has never stepped foot into the current Napster offices. You say no one has used it since. Last I read they had 700,000 subcribers. About the same as Rhapsody. They also had over $100M is sales last year. Sounds like someone must be using it. I think this is a good move for Best Buy. They need a way to complete with Amazon and Apple. I am sure Apple is working on there own TVs so it will not be long before the most wanted TV is an Apple LCD HDTV. You know the one you will only be able to get at an Apple store and it only works with iTunes. With the funding Best Buy is able to provide, they should be able to create an intagraded digital music solution that works with Best Buy's own brand as well as other brands sold by them.

well. this 19 inch monitor has high resolution. Won't it display text and windows too small ? I have seen 1440x900 is not enough for 19in lcd. so some higher resolution is requiredto get enoughworkspace for 19in lcd monitor. I amcomfortablewith resolution 1280x1045 ontypical 17inch square lcd monitor. It provide sufficient work space. I can't work with graphics smaller than that. what resolution is required to get same zoomlevel in 19,20 and 22 inc lcd monitors ?

You may or may not know Voodoo shipped their first pre-ordered Evy laptops last week. Anyone here one of the lucky recipients? I found this video of a customer unboxing their laptop but want to hear some user comments as well. http://www.thenextbench.com/hpg/blog/article?message.uid=13862
