YOU are chilling out to your favourite songs on your car radio, only to have them drowned out by an appalling, fuzzy din you didn't tune into. It happens all too often in cities, where legitimate stations in the FM band lose out to pirate stations playing their own brands of music alongside brash nightlife advertising.
And this hijacking of the airwaves won't change any time soon, thanks to the internet.
In another example of struggling major music labels and Internet services finding common ground, Sony Music Entertainment has agreed to make its back catalog of songs available on eMusic, one of the largest music retailers on the Web.

If scientists got the correlation models together, I wonder if they would find a blisteringly harmonious relationship between those who loathe reality TV and those who loathe Twitter. Critics of the microblogging service declare that, like reality TV, tweets are just mindless ego-fodder being released on the masses by the second.
A spokesman for the video-sharing Web site YouTube, based in California, says a prank has left the site with scores of pornographic videos.
The unidentified spokesman said hackers placed thousands of pornographic videos on the Web site by misleadingly tagging the adult videos with the names of popular musical acts, The Daily Telegraph (Britain) said Friday.

Last month, GE revealed that its research scientists had discovered a way, using holographic technology, to store 100 DVDs worth of information on a single standard DVD. What a difference a few weeks make.
