Why Buy CDs From Amazon When You Can Buy MP3 Albums??

Don't buy another CD from Amazon. CDs are cumbersome, fragile, and expensive. Latest reports say CD sales will decline 60% by 2010.

Starting today, AnywhereCD will begin selling CDs at prices matching Amazon, but giving consumers much more value: along with every CD purchase, customers get high quality 192k MP3 files immediately. The confirmation email includes a link that loads all tracks directly into iTunes. All purchased music is stored permanently in a music locker.

Sony has a music store but purchases won't play on PlayStation consoles. Microsoft sells Zune songs but they won't work with Windows Mobile devices. But your AnywhereCD purchases work everywhere because they're in open MP3 format. Our contract with Warner Music expires at the end of September, so check out the store while you can.

Hunting for the X-File Ghost

AI will soon rule the world. It will decide if you paid your taxes, qualify for a mortgage, whether your kid is admitted to university, if someone is eligible for parole, if you've been naughty on social media, etc. EVERYTHING. But what happens if it's WRONG? Here's an unbelievable and ominous situation where a cybersecurity company publishes a report stating an American company was part of a Chinese cybercriminal organization. The story spread around the world. One enormous problem: the software they claim as evidence doesn't exist, but nobody bothered to research it. No news site. No security companies. Nobody. Well, I decided to research it, and here's my results.
