Radio teases continue. What's coming? Anyone's guess...

This is so frustrating!  [Scripting News]

Although not directly related to OS X, I pass along this from today's Wired News:
Pay for Content? Ha, Say Users. Online publishers who think subscriptions are the key to their success are wrong, wrong, wrong, according to a panel at the Jupiter Media Forum. Noah Shachtman reports from New York. [Wired News]

MSN Messenger updated
