• New download service: We7. Nice selection of free stuff, notably including such as this, this and this. Lots of unsigned rubbish too for the adventurous. I'm a fan already. Oh no I'm not. THE MP3s HAVE ADS ON THEM. What an interesting business model.

• Groklaw report on the OLPC XO laptop. WANT.

I am not going out tonight. I am ill, coughing up slime and feel like p00. redcountess and mirrorshard are still hitting the Pembury this evening, so be sure to give them lots of huge sloppy midnight snogs for me.

But you can remove the ad after 4 weeks and still keep the track which is DRM free and so can be shared and downloaded to any MP3 legally and without restrictions. We7 also give you credits to download tracks without the ads on as well.

True. (In fact, one could edit the mp3 directly.) Feels like cheating, though. Also work.

I'm not saying it's a bad business model - but speaking as the product (the advertisers are the customer, I'm the product, the mp3s are bait) it just seemed way too jarring.
