Monday, February 23, 2009
Came across this video today that teaches you how to adjust GarageBand settings so that you can sound like Kanye West. You know, not the Kanye that actually sings, but the electronicized version.

Monday, February 2, 2009
The New York Times has an interesting article detailing a heated disagreement between Sony and Apple over tiered pricing.
