Comments (0) I came across this video as a link from a story on the BBC News site. It’s a cover of the current UK No. 1 single by Taio Cruz – Break Your Heart. I much prefer this cover to the original. I think I might have to check out some more of this bands work. The singer has a great sounding voice.
It might seem a little odd to some, attempting to install Microsoft Windows XP into a Virtual Machine running on VMware’s ESX 3.5. That’s more of a job for VMware Workstation or Player. However, I wanted to install a Windows XP VM in my ESX test environment, to try some things out. I was a little surprised when I was greeted with this message during the initial install though:

I’ve read several articles over the last few months relating to how Apple always seem to be ‘working’ with record labels and movie distributors to improve sales of albums and movies on the iTunes store. Most recently is the news that they may be looking to include better ‘digital booklets’, or some kind of ‘interactive digital booklet’. Now, dont get me wrong, I like iTunes.

As an example, let’s look at the top 5 albums currently in the iTunes music store:
1. Now That’s What I Call Music!, Vol 73 – Various Artists
iTunes Price: £16.99
CDWOW CD Price: £ 10.99
2. iTunes Price:Lungs – Florence & The Machine
iTunes Price: £7.99
CDWOW CD Price: £6.99 Continue reading 'The (iTunes) Digital Divide'»
