No matter what you think of controversial film maker Michael Moore (and I’ll admit that I’m not a fan -- I think he’s entertaining, but plays way too loose with the facts, even on issues where I might agree with him), over the years this been this odd compulsion by pro-copyright folks to pigeonhole Moore as being against anyone sharing his films online -- despite the fact he’s clearly stated he has no problem with people file sharing his movies if it means more people see them. Yet, as we’ve pointed out, others have claimed that Moore’s worst "nightmare" came true when one of his movies was leaked online, despite the fact that the leak helped get it more attention (just as Moore wanted) making the movie quite profitable . Then there was the "legal group" that used one of Moore’s films as an example of filmmakers hurt by file sharing -- again ignoring Moore’s stated appreciation of fans sharing his movies.

For those wondering why I call it my shit list, allow me to explain. The people on said list amount to nothing more than a pile of feces as far as I am concerned, especially when it comes to fake punditry. What do I mean by that?

While it’s not official, SanDisk is getting ready to launch a new mid-market PMP called the Fuze. Aimed at the 3rd generation iPod Nano, the Fuze will be an SSD-based tiny-screen having PMP that appears to have almost all the same features as the iPod Nano, plus an FM radio, but with more storage, possibly up to 16GB.
So far, SanDisks PMPs have been pretty decent, I’ve had a Sansa for awhile and it’s a great alternative to the iPod. You contrarians should have love in you... more

The Rock Band drum kit continues to attract modders of all stripes, and we’re loving the crazy directions people are taking it -- like this beatboxing kick drum mod from Kevin Child. It’s a simple hack -- Kevin simply used a Thumper vocal-percussion mike to activate the pedal trigger -- but it’s pretty sweet in action, responding to nearly any noise he makes. We’d love to see this thing filtered through a computer with the different pads as... more

Man, Qtrax just can’t stop lying about those label deals , can it? The company issued a press release over the weekend saying it has (finally) signed up with Sony / BMG, Universal, EMI and Warner, but Wired did a little bit of digging and found out that Qtrax isn’t being exactly honest -- spokespeople from all four labels flatly denied that any deals were in place. Apparently there have been some experimental licenses and older deals m... more
As if it wasn’t enough that your Nano was counting your every step through the chip in your Nike+ shoes, now it can track every mile you pretend to bike at the the gym. Ellipticals and such, too. They’re teaming up with 24 Hour Fitness and some Virgin thing to provide machines that track your use, assuming you have the time and inclination to plug your gear into the the thing’s port. You can then take it home and plug it in at home, at which point it will upload its data to... more
