I have dozens of pictures and a detailed blog post about the Ready To Launch event which I’ll be posting later. - Russell notices that PSP firmware 2.60 now has podcasting and RSS support. - turns out Sony might have known about the rootkit in some of their CDs sooner than when it was exposed and villified in blogs, and they claim they were investigating and planning to announce a fix.

Oh, and the lawsuits continue, ouch. - Another ouch: Om points to one of the things about podcasting that has bugged me for awhile: the ease by which some sites hijack podcast feeds. - And to keep the pain going, Vonage didn’t make the 911 deadline and now might have trouble signing up new customers. - Yahoo Mail and Alerts (beta) have added a built-in RSS Reader to their invite-only beta mail service. I haven’t checked out the new beta Yahoo mail client but the old one pretty much sucked. - I installed Office 2003 Professional yesterday morning on my Tablet and Outlook 2003 crashes immediately every time it opens.
