Did you watch the Jobsnote from Apple's Let's Rock event yesterday?  As always, interesting for the form as well as the content; the announcements were somewhat predictable and had indeed been largely predicted; nonetheless good steady progress for Apple's music business.  John Gruber posted a nice summary if you'd rather just read about it.  Personally I'm rather interested in playing with the new "Genius" feature in iTunes, which makes playlists from compatible songs in your library.

The history of the user agent.  In which truth is told, and an incredible morass is explained.  And there was humor, and it was okay.  [ via Daring Fireball, who comments "what a mess".  Indeed. ]
