Zune HD w/ Touchscreen Coming This Fall


In an official announcement yesterday, Microsoft confirmed that the rumoured Zune HD would be coming out this fall. The new multi-media device does away with the circle button for a full-on touchscreen. The device is also a hell of a lot thinner, and dare I say, actually sexy. Yes, I said a Microsoft device was sexy.

As rumored, the new Zune connects to XBOX Live Marketplace, and there are some hints that there may be apps and games on the way. But is Microsoft too late with the design overhaul? Even with HD radio, video, touchscreens, and unicorns, can the Zune stand up strong and tall against both the iPhone and iPod Touch?

Grooverider Released From Dubai Prison


Oh lookie! Seems like global drum 'n bass superstar, Grooverider, has been released from prison in Dubai after serving 10 months of his 4-year sentence.

If you don't remember, the UK dj and producer was arrested in November of 2007 for having 2.16 grams of weed in his pocket and porn. He said he had forgotten about the weed being in his pocket until they caught him; no comment on the porn.

To celebrate, below is a great soundboard of memorable Grooverider clips from his BBC Radio 1 show thanks to Trickartt. Congrats to the Rider for getting out.
