Mix: Taiwan podcasts, iPod scrubs, MTV VMA, Pearl Jam
Apple has added a Podcast Directory service to iTunes in Taiwan. “We are working with 10 radio stations here and consumers will be able to listen to them over at iTunes within a month,” said Yeo Eng Yiong, Apple’s product marketing manager for portables in the Asia-Pacific region.
iPod scrubs is a new site dedicated to sharing small sequential image clips for the iPod that provide the illusion of animation when manually scrolling through them.
The performers at this Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards will each receive a gift bag worth more than $26,000 that includes “an iPod shuffle with an MTV logo, an orange vinyl Paul Frank watch and a glass checker-set from José Cuervo.”
Pearl Jam next month will launch a digital music store on its official website to offer its authorized “live bootleg” series as DRM-free MP3 files.

The Hell?!
As if the performers can’t afford their own diamond incrusted crap.

Please let me know before linking to fox news. I really despise them and would prefer to avoid them at any cost.

It’s funny how the more money you make, the more stuff you get for free. Plus with $26,000 worth of stuff, you’d think there would be something better than a shuffle.
