It looks like every big firm that has anything to do with media is planning an entry into the online music distribution business. This time it looks like Best Buy is about to throw their hat into the ring.

ArsTechnica tells us that the service will be based on Real’s Rhapsody, and that one the major advantages Best Buy has going forward is that it is the largest consumer electronics store and the place where people already buy a lot of music. Competitors to Best Buy’s new service sell their wares at Best Buy already. Apple sells many of its iPods at Best Buy stores across the country, Microsoft is likely planning to sell many of its Zunes(?) there as well.

If your at work and want to browse the net but look productive, there is a website just for you.

WorkFRIENDLY.

With this website you can type in the website you want to visit and then it will show the website in a window that looks just like Word 2003. It also displays the web page without graphics, but with Word formatting, to further complete the illusion. It has its faults, but I still think it’s a pretty cool idea.

TechCrunch.com is reporting that Yahoo! will be releasing a heavily updated version of its site today. It has not happened yet at 1:06 EST, but since Yahoo! is based on the west coast, that is understandable.

You can try the new design and features out at http://www.yahoo.com/preview or just wait until the new site is up and running. I think the new update is certainly an improvement of the tired Yahoo!. This move should help Yahoo! stay competitive with Microsoft’s new Live.com and Google’s personal homepage.
