Can SanDisk prompt another digital-music revolution?

So not only can you play the music on your mobile – you can, using the USB adapter that comes with it, load the songs onto your computer.  In March or April of 2009 SanDisk will launch a new music player. It's a tiny device slightly larger than an iPod Nano that will sell for $99 and come with a microSD slot card preloaded with 1,000 songs in seven genres. Consumers will be able to buy additional slot cards for $39.99 with 1,000 songs in a particular genre. These cards will have DRM and will only work in the one ounce slotRadio device.

10 YouTube Comments Translated into Standard English.

Youtube Comments, Where Grammar Goes to die

  Have you ever read through some of the comments on YouTube and wondered to yourself, "What in the blue #@$% are these people talking about?" Does reading page after page of half-assed, grossly-misspelled, heavily-abbreviated 1337 fill you with an inescapable air of dread, as you mourn for the future of mankind? We felt the same way. Therefore, as a public service to regular folks who appreciate lofty grammatical ideas such as punctuation and spelling, we thought we'd translate some of the more outlandish comments into standard English. We should also point out that in many cases, we just had to guess. And no, we didn't make any of them up; they are all pasted verbatim. Seriously.
