Microsoft trims Xbox price. The software giant fires the second shot in the video game industry's growing price war, following rival Sony's decision to make an identical cut in the price of its PlayStation 2. [CNET News.com]

WOW. MS was already losing money on every unit sold, I cannot imagine that this bodes well for their system. I know that one of the things that I didn't/don't like about it is that DVD playback is extra, but that is neither here nor there. This system is in trouble, unless MS can get a huge breakthrough hit out for it. Sadly, I do not see any such game on the horizon.

I forgot my Archos Jukebox at work today, so while running errands tonight, I was listening to the radio. Sometimes I think fate points me in a specific direction, and this was one of those times. Why? Because I heard Papa Don't Preach by Kelly Osbourne (a duet with Incubus, no less). It's available on Kazaa as a recording from a KROQ radio session.

Remaking an old Madonna song with an ironic title aimed at your ex-drug addict rock star Dad after the finale of your family's reality show on MTV: priceless.

AH! So that's the song. I was doing dishes after lunch yesterday, turned on K-ROCK, and heard this familiar yet twisted song, and now I know who the singer/band was. Thanks Jenny!
