In a dramatic acceleration of the seven-year sales decline that has battered the music industry, compact-disc sales for the first three months of this year plunged 20% from a year earlier, the latest sign of the seismic shift in the way consumers acquire music.
The sharp slide in sales of CDs, which still account for more than 85% of music sold, has far eclipsed the growth in sales of digital downloads, which were supposed to have been the industry’s salvation.

Knoppix, the famous live Linux CD that practically started the live CD trend, needs no introduction to most people. One of the things that’s so great about it is that you can take it with you and boot to a familiar Linux environment on almost any modern computer, without touching the OS that’s already installed on it.
Of course, it can be even more portable when it runs entirely off of an inexpensive USB key. So let’s install it to a 1 GB USB key, and create a persistent home directory in which to store files. Only let’s do it the lazy way, and keep use of the command prompt to a bare minimum.

Yahoo plans to offer unlimited e-mail storage to its roughly quarter of a billion users, starting in May.
The world’s biggest e-mail service said Tuesday that it would scrap its free e-mail storage limit of one gigabyte, or about a billion bytes of data, responding to explosive growth in attachment sizes as people share ever more photos, music and videos via e-mail.
Microsoft has a two gigabyte free e-mail storage limit, while Google caps its Gmail service at 2.8 gigabytes.
“We are giving them no reason to ever have to delete old e-mails,” David Filo, co-founder of Yahoo, said in a telephone interview. “You can keep stuff forever.”
