, Sep 27th 2010 Discuss [0]

Today, Nielsen reports that the sales of digital music have flattened in the year 2010, versus previous years. While they're quick to suggest that the flat-line isn't a long-term effect, and more of a short-term situation, it looks like the effect isn't being felt around the world, but mostly just in the United States, based on their reported numbers. While the US flattens out, countries like Germany and France are still seeing inclines in the digital music market. Read The Full Story

Digital reading is one of those markets that's not so much a niche, anymore. There's plenty of people out there that still wish it was, surely, but the simple truth is that while reading a physical book (or in this case, a comic book) may be nostalgic, getting your reading done in the digital landscape is becoming more common place than anything else. The iPad's launch may have made it harder for the physical media to make its case, especially when Marvel launched their comic book service for the tablet device, but we can't forget about Sony's own offering for the PSP.

, Aug 30th 2010 Discuss [0]

When it comes to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), when it's said that there's a lot of hard work that goes into creating it, that's an understatement.
