I recently discovered last.fm, an online “radio” sort of thing where you can basically tag music you like and create your own “radio station” and listen to music you like non stop in 128kbps, no commercials, no interruptions or you can tune in into live radio stations that match your tags.

It also offers a lot of user interaction features, including e.g. a recent tracks list:

As announced a while back on Yahoo! TV News & Gossip, Disney is going to make 4 of it’s hit TV shows available for download from the ABC.COM website!
The four shows are “Desperate Housewives” and “Lost” and in June “Commander in Chief” and “Alias”. Is this a fight fire with fire move or simply the realization that ARPA-NET is history and the new net is much more than just an information highway?

“Walt Disney Treasures: On the Front Lines” stands out from the rest of the Walt Disney Treasure releases simply because of its historical context. It contains 32 shorts and a full-length feature film “Victory through Air Power” originally released between 1941 and 1945.

Most of the material was made for propaganda purposes, supporting the war effort at home and some are educational hence the entertainment factor may not always be given but the historical context of these make them fascinating for generations to come.
