The Dork Report for June 17, 2006

Just as Apple is rumored to be launching yet another iPod generation (no longer online: appleinsider.com/article.php?id=1818), Microsoft readies its iTunes Killer [no longer online: wired.com/news/technology/0,71178-0.html]. Hey, wasn’t that called Urge (no longer online: urge.com)? (spotted on Macintouch and AppleInsider)

Actual photos from inside a Chinese iPod factory make me feel queasy about owning one.

Despite being a big ratings hit in the UK, the Doctor Who revolving door hasn’t stopped spinning. Billie Piper will leave at the end of season two. As the show is at least as much about her (and her extended family) than it is the Doctor, this will perhaps have a bigger impact than even Christopher Eccleston’s dramatic exit from the lead role.

Heil Kitty! [no longer online: hitlercats.motime.com] (guest submission from Andrea)

The redesigned Criterion Collection site is clean and classy, although I’m not crazy about the new logo and the Flash intro is a yawner. One to look forward to: a new three disc edition of Seven Samurai.

    (Or was that “the righteous links up with which she hooks you”? Friggin’ English majors.)
