This morning I got onto my computer and was looking forward to watching an episode of The Walking Dead, recently downloaded for me in iTunes. Instead, I was greeted with this: Nope. I don’t get to watch the show I paid for on my computer because my monitor isn’t HDCP-capable. C’mon, Apple, I gave you [...]

Yeah, I’m late, but I might as well type up this list before we’re much further into 2010. It seemed like kind of a dull year for music. I did a lot of back-filling which should make for an even more compelling Best of the Oughts if I can ever get around to writing that. [...]
