Blog Focus on Free Holiday Music
Blog Focus is Technorati's daily roundup of the top stories as told by the bloggers of the world. Each day a handful of posts, no matter how popular or nascent, will be selected by editors to portray a general unscientific reaction to discussion points around the 'Net.
Newsmakers ducked out around lunchtime for holiday shopping and never came back, leading to a quieter news day. Or perhaps it's just been such a news-laden week that today seems almost quaint.
Still, there's free music to be had and lawsuits to be documented, so the blogs cinched up their snow pants and waddled out into the world today just for you. In their honor, these snowballs of news:
• 9 to 5 Mac —Seth Weintraub sussed out links to all the Amazon and iTunes free holiday music samplers. If you ever listen to that barking dog "Jingle Bells" rendition again, it's not because you didn't have options.
• Mashable —Jennifer Van Grove notes that Google Wave has undo finally. Of course, you have to do something in Google Wave to undo it, which has been a bit of a problem.
• NewTeeVee —Janko Roettgers tells us about a study that claims 80% of you give up on an online video if it buffers mid-play. The other 20% must be very concerned that the nice young lady can't find her clothes.
• GigaOM —Sebastian Rupley pulls the covers off Mozilla's hidden business problems and how they're trying to solve them.
• Unwired View —Nokia sued Apple, so Apple sued Nokia, as documented by Ilinca Nita. You may start your out-of-court settlement clock... now. (And your weekend.)
