					iPod fans shun iTunes says report From the BBC site... Most of the music on an iPod is not from iTunes, reveals report Despite the success of Apple iTunes, few people stock their iPod with tracks from the online store, reports a study. The Jupiter Research report reveals that, on average, only 20 of the tracks on a iPod will be from the iTunes shop. Far more important to iPod owners, said the study, was free music ripped from CDs someone already owned or acquired from file-sharing sites. The report's authors claimed their findings had profound implications for the future of the online music market. Ripped disks They estimate that during 2006 Europeans will spend more than 385m euros (£260m) on digital music - the majority of this spending will be on tracks from Apple's iTunes store. However, the report into the habits of iPod users reveals that 83% of iPod owners do not buy digital music regularly. The minority, 17%, buy and download music, usually single tracks, at least once per month. On average, the study reports, only 5% of the music on an iPod will be bought from online music stores. The rest will be from CDs the owner of an MP3 player already has or tracks they have downloaded from file-sharing sites. The report warned against simple characterisations of the music-buying public that divide people into those that pay and those that pirate. "It is not instructive to think of portable media player owners, nor iPod owners specifically, as homogenous groups," warned the report. It said: "Digital music buyers do not necessarily stop file-sharing upon buying legally." The importance of "free" to digital music fans should not be underestimated, warned the report, and should be a factor for newer digital music firms, such as Spiral Frog, which use an ad-supported model. Perhaps the only salient characteristic shared by all owners of portable music players was that they were more likely to buy more music - especially CDs. "Digital music purchasing has not yet fundamentally changed the way in which digital music customers buy music," read the report.

				Mac on a Stick

				Running Linux, Windows or applications like Firefox, Thunderbird and AbiWord from a USB flash memory device is old hat. How about a Mac 128K or Plus on a USB key? Using a ‘portable’ Mac system you can:     •    play with old system software and applications without dusting off your old Mac,     •    impress your friends, or show others what the older Mac system looked like,     •    use Mac on Windows and Linux.

				Runs System 7.01

				Wouldn't this be great PDA Operating System - why not put it on you iPod!

				However I have one suggestion, you should add the mac and mouse song for download either from your site or on itunes.  It's a great little song, but the problem is I have to search through one of your podcasts to get to it.

				Manganese Bronze Holdings PLC is an engineering company based in Coventry, England. The company manufactures a range of automotive parts, but is most famous for manufacturing London Black Taxis. Manganese Bronze Holdings is split into four divisions:     •    London Taxis International which manufactures London Black Taxis for distribution throughout the United Kingdom and worldwide;     •    Zingo which produces intelligent taxi location systems;     •    Mann & Overton which provides maintenance services for taxis; and     •    London Taxi Finance which provides finance deals for the purchase of taxis. [edit] History Villiers Engineering Ltd, a motorcycle company chiefly known for its range of engines was taken over in the early 1960s by Manganese Bronze Bearings Ltd as it was. Manganese Bronze Holdings Ltd bought AMC (Associated Motorcycles) owners of the Norton, AJS and Matchless motorcycle marques in 1964. This combined with the Villiers concerns to give Norton-Villiers. Manganese Bronze absorbed BSA, best known for their motorcycles, in 1973 as part of a rescue plan initiated by the Government. The BSA interests were largely divested and the Triumph elements of the motorcycle production combined with the others to form Norton-Villiers-Triumph (NVT).

				As well as being highly amusing, Julian and Sandy were notable for being two camp gay characters in mass entertainment at a time when homosexuality was still illegal in the UK, and for the use of Polari or palare in the sketches
