e-bikes FTW

When is this trend reaching the tipping point? They're kinda weird looking, but environmental friendly. And supposedly there are over 100 million electric bikes in China, 4 times more than cars to be exact.

They're not supercheap, and the batteries cost a lot, but one battery should take you to the office and back for three years or so... (you do need to recharge it once in a while though).

I'd like to try one, although it would make me feel kinda granny.

Digital Album Covers

Nowadays more than nine out of ten of all singles sales are made in digital form, for albums that figure is reversed. Therefore Sony, Warner, Universal and EMI are soon starting to launch digital album covers that inlcude "computerised version of the sleeve notes that come as standard with a CD, including lyrics and artwork, and videos"

Nice idea, but let's see if has any effect on the changed consumer behaviour. I mean, the music album is a concept created in the 60's and the world has changed a lot since.
