+Universal Music Group, the world's largest music label, has announced it will sell a limited selection of its massive catalogue in DRM-free form. Interestingly, Universal is excluding Apple's iTunes Store from the offer.
+
+The new program will be available through services from Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon and others starting in January.
+
+So why not sell the new DRM free tracks through iTunes? [According to the LATimes][1], Universal says it excluded Apple so that "iTunes could serve as a 'control group' to make sales comparisons easier." 
+
+The more likely reason is that Universal is simply afraid of giving iTunes any more power than it already has when it comes to online music, DRMed or otherwise. By excluding iTunes and at the same time dropping DRM, Universal is hoping to steal sales away from Apple and bring them back into the Universal fold via partners it can control.
+
+In essence some sort of power struggle between Jobs and Universal has convinced Universal to do what no amount of consumer complaining and declining sales figures could: drop the DRM.
+
+Whatever the case, Universal's DRM-free tracks are a win for consumers, the question is are you willing to deal with having to buy them through Walmart or BestBuy?

+With a nod to rhyming poets everywhere, Microsoft has[unveiled Windows Live SkyDrive][2], a new online hard drive storage service. Previously known as Windows Live Folders the service was first [announced earlier this summer as a private beta][1].
+
+Today's announcement doesn't remove the beta label, but the service is now open to the public. And the new SkyDrive isn't just about the name change, there's also a revamped UI and some new features as well. Among the changes are support for drag-and-drop file uploads to ease batch transfers, the addition of a "Also on SkyDrive" which shows the folders of other Skydrive users that you've browsed and a new embed option for sharing files on your blog or website -- similar in function to Zoho's new Viewer, which we [reviewed yesterday][4].
+
+But SkyDrive isn't really a Zoho Viewer competitor, rather it competes with the likes of Omnidrive, box.net, Google's [new paid options][3] and others in what is already a crowded market. 
+
+As with similar services your account offers public and private folders for storing and sharing and you can also set read/write permissions for folders so other users can upload docs to your account.
+
+Microsoft describes the service as "a personal hard drive on the internet," but at 500 MB, hard drive isn't exactly the image that comes to mind. Which is too bad because otherwise the service is quite nice, easy-to-use and integrated with your Windows Live account.
+
+There's also the chance that, at some point, Microsoft will offer an option for Windows users to automatically backup key documents ala the .Mac services from Apple. 
+
+However, until Microsoft adds some more compelling features to the mix, the current storage space limitations make SkyDrive a bit of a cripple in the field -- you're probably better off with other similar, more generous services.
+
+For more info on how SkyDrive works here's a demo video from Brandon LeBlanc at the Windows Vista Blog:

+Apple's recently announced iMovie '08, part of the [new iLife suite][2], features a radical redesign of a very popular program. In fact, it's not so much a re-write as a completely different program. 
+
+Naturally not everyone is going to be pleased with the new iMovie, which Apple seems to have anticipated. To avoid creating panic among users, the company has made the previous version of iMovie, iMovie 6 HD, [available as a free download][1].
+
+In addition, when you install iLife '08, rather than overwriting your existing copy of iMovie, it will be moved to a folder named "iMovie (previous version)." 
+  
+Of course there will likely be little or no future for the old version of iMovie, but at least you can upgrade to '08 without fear of losing your existing app (note that this is not true for iDVD or iPhoto which will be overwritten by the update).
+
+As for what changed in iMovie, the main thing that may bother existing users is the absence of the traditional timeline for arranging clips. There are also major changes to how music and other auxiliary files and clips are edited. 
+
+On the plus side iMovie '08 does have some nice new features including the ability to mix and match video formats and resolutions and support for the AVCHD format used by those hot new hard disk camcorders. 
+
+And I should note that the iMovie 6 download is free to anyone, so even if you never upgraded from earlier version you can now grab it and take advantage of the HD support and other improvements over iMovie 5 and earlier.

+Apple has launched three new [embeddable widgets][1] to display your iTunes purchases, reviews and favorites on your blog or social network profile. The widgets don't play the actual music, but they do list the artists and, of course, offer links back to iTunes so others can purchase them as well.
+
+In addition to music the widgets also list videos, TV shows and movies you've purchased from iTunes. The reviews widget displays your recent 4 or 5-star rated tracks and the favorites widget displays the artists/movies/etc that you've purchased most. 
+
+The widgets are Flash-based and can be embedded in any page where you can paste the generated code.
+
+There are a number of color options for displaying the widgets though all are limited to the black and blue color spectrum. You can also choose different sizes to fit the layout of your page.
+
+In order to use the new widgets you'll need to login to the iTunes store and enable "My iTunes," which creates an RSS feed for the widgets to pull data from (naturally you can also subscribe to the address in your favorite reader).
+
+There are already several other widgets out there leverage iTunes itself to offer similar, and in most cases considerably more advanced, functionality -- both [iLike][2] and [MOG][3] come to mind -- but this is the first time Apple has offered anything of the sort, which is surprising given the free advertising that widgets like this offer.

+Just hours after Microsoft pushed its new [SkyDrive online storage option][2] out the door, Google announced its own [new storage options][1]. There have long been rumors that Google would eventually offer some sort of "GDrive" for online backups of data, and while this may not be what many people had in mind, it's certainly a step in that direction.
+
+The big catch for many people will be that the new storage options aren't free. In fact they aren't exactly a bargain either. here's a price breakdown:
+
+>*	6 GB: $20 per year
+*	25 GB: $75 per year
+*	100 GB: $250 per year
+*	250 GB: $500.00 per year
+
+The average price hovers around $2-$3 per gig per year, which is about $1 more per gigabyte than purchasing an external drive and over a $1 more per gigabyte than Amazon's S3 service. Amazon's S3 service offers storage at about $0.35 per per gigabyte a month (technically it's $0.15 a month for storage with a $0.20 per GB for data transfer, and that additional data transfer fee can add up if you make your documents public).
+
+But Google's new storage options are really aimed at a different market -- namely users with overflowing Picasa or GMail accounts. Picasa already offered additional storage through fee-based premium accounts, but those will be replaced with this new integrated options
+
+Google's announcement also promises that the expanded storage options will be available for other services -- like Docs and Spreadsheets -- "soon."
+
+Google's new storage options may not be the fabled GDrive you've been waiting for, but if you're a GMail or Picasa user with an overflowing account at least you've now got some options (if you already have a Picasa premium account, it will be transferred to this new service).
