- More on AdNauseam: Google bans it from the Chrome webstore for apparently made-up reasons, going so far as to stop you installing it by hand yourself. A bit on the nose given their massive share of both the ad and browser markets. The Firefox version still works fine. Alternately, maybe Google could pay people to be surveilled.
- Universal has decided Facebook is the next juicy target for takedowns and deals. How this works in practice: it’s sending takedowns for videos posted to Facebook by its own artists on their official pages.
- Tidal launches “studio-quality” sound (i.e., greater than the CD-quality streams they already do). And never mind that nobody who isn’t a musician or an audiophile has a 24-bit sound card on their PC, and absolutely nobody at all has one on their phone. Perhaps Tidal won’t run out of money first!
- How to feel like you’re clubbing when you’re out and about with headphones: a wrist-mounted vibrator for that “subwoofer” feeling, apparently. A snip at $199!
