Another one bites the dust: Virgin kills its online music store
While competition continues to heat up in the online video space, it appears the online music space is getting smaller and smaller. Just weeks after Sony announced it was closing its online music store, Virgin is shutting down its Virgin Digital web ...
Virgin America to offer in-flight WiFi, Google Talk
In previous experiments, in-flight WiFi Internet access failed to capture much attention, either because consumers thought it was to expensive or because it wasn't ubiquitous. Ie. if it's not on every aircraft, it's hard to plan your travel time ...
XP Virgin Install: the Final Chapter?
It has been a while since I'd booted my XP "virgin install".
If you recall, this was a pure, unadulterated (except for the manufacturer-recommended drivers) install of Windows XP,
SP2. I'd been playing with this to see what one looks like, ...
Windows XP Virgin Install Part One
Inspired by Scott McNulty's virgin install of OS X (documented at TUAW), I wanted to try the same on another machine. But not OS X, Windows XP. Anyone who has purchased a PC from any major manufacturer will no doubt tell you about all the ...
Windows XP Virgin Install Part Two: Power Toys
Last week I installed a fresh, clean, virgin version of Windows XP. The point? I'm going to add applications, in small batches, to see what horrible things happen when innocent downloads go terribly wrong (RealPlayer I'm looking in your direction). ...
Windows XP Virgin Install Part Three: Attack of the Google
OK, I'm putting off playing with TweakUI. Apparently I've caught Google fever. What with all the talk about Talk, and the supposed "evil" of Google, I decided to see what all the fuss is about. So this week's Virgin Install is going to get ...

Keeping your wallet safe from the digital music shakeout
Last week while everyone was busy playing taps for the Virgin Digital store, we got to thinking; How much money is disappearing into thin air as online music stores like Virgin -- which popped up faster than zits before prom night during recent ...
Ask Download Squad: What's the first thing you install on your computer?
Looks like not too many of you are into structured text editing (either that or you're all out at the beach). The response to last week's question was relatively light, though some previously mentioned programs, such as Treepad, resurfaced as ...
Music Retailer HMV to Launch Download Service
It
looks like everyone and their dog wants to be in the online music
download business... finally. Remember that moment back when you first
learned what Napster was about? No, not the "wow, I'll never have to
pay for music again!" ...
Designtechnica reviews online music services
Designtechnica has produced a nice review of the legitimate music download and streaming service, touching on such top dogs as the iTMS and even making their way to Walmart's, as well as Virgin's - who I didn't even know had a service. They break ...
Google Earth being used to find Steve Fossett
Steve Fossett, the "greatest aviator in the world" has been missing for a while now in the Nevada desert. Friends and air patrols have been frantically searching for him, and now Google could be in on the search. Fossett's friend, Sir Richard ...
SMS Widget for OSX Tiger
I've seen SMS widgets for Dashboard come and go as they all have some strange catch, like they only work with a specific carrier or you have to pay a service fee through a specific site. However this morning I finally found the one - it ...
Windows System Teardown: Part 1
I've been really enjoying Victor's series on his Virgin Install of Windows XP (if you missed them, here's Part 1 & Part 2), particularly because I will be going through that scenario in a few months. I've been using this machine for two years ...
Advertising gone wrong: 23 poorly placed banner ads
Have you ever come across an advertisement on a web page that just made you think, "wow. That really shouldn't be there."? I've come across a few in my time, but it looks like the folks over at BuzzFeed have been running into them left and right; ...
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
