Guitar [Han] Solo from Go Ape Shirts

Tcritic:

“Go Ape, already a “Star Wars” hall of famer with their Boo Boo Walker has partnered with t-shirt desgner extraorinare, Tom Burns
to hit us with another star wars themed t-shirt, this time its Guitar
Solo. I have a couple of Go Ape shirts and they are great quality
shirts and screen prints, they do run a little small on my (AA of
course), so if you are a borderline size you should think about the
bigger one.”

Amazon launches DRM-free “Amazon MP3″ music downloads

Engadget:

“If you’re into DRM-free music, you have a reason to get pretty excited today. As speculated, Amazon has launched the public beta of its new digital music portal called Amazon MP3, which will feature two million songs from 180,000 artists and 20,000 labels, all without the painful and annoying restrictions of DRM. The press release claims that the site, which will include EMI and Universal tracks (take that, Jobs), will make separate songs available for $.89 or $.99, and boasts that all of the “top 100″ tracks will be priced at the former, lower amount. Albums will range in cost from $5.99 to $9.99, with the best selling albums coming in at $8.99. Of course, since there’s no DRM, users are free to throw the 256Kbps MP3s on any player they like, as well as burn CDs, copy to MiniDisc, and dump to 8-track.”

Psst. Move the mouse.

If you want to wear something Star Wars-y but can’t go all the way
for the full bodysuit, here’s a middle ground: the Darth Vader Costume
T-shirt. Link

Digg: “Thanks to the email-leakage from MediaDefender-Defenders we now have
proof of the things we’ve been suspecting; the big record and movie
labels are paying professional hackers, saboteurs and ddosers to
destroy our trackers. While browsing through the email we identified
the companies that are also active in Sweden”. TPB reported this to the
police…”
