Digg Top
Diggest - Digg Video Widget
This widget essentially takes the videos off of Digg's Videos section and plays them in one continuous channel. It was built using the new Digg API. It has several configurable options from the drop down menu in the upper-right (like turning off the comments if you find them annoying). You can also embed this player wherever you want, including the desktop with Adobe Apollo.
Sorry about the autoplay. I cant disable it, but you can hit pause.

Limited Edition Adult Swim Zune
For all those Venture Brothers, Aqua Teen, Sea Lab, Harvey Birdman, and Robot Chicken nerds whose hearts just skipped a beat, steel yourself. While Microsoft is indeed producing a limited edition Adult Swim version of the Zune, when we say it's limited edition, we mean it: only 500 are being made, and will be given away at a Turner promotional event tonight. Obviously these units will have pre-loaded content, including photos, music, and, naturally, such classic shows as Assy McGee, Metalocalypse (rawk), and even a new program titled Lucy, Daughter of the Devil (on screen).

Google May Be Getting a New Look
Google has been testing out a new look recently that adds a new bar at the top, similar to the sign in bar already at the top, that allows you to chose between Web, Images, Video, News, Maps, Mail and a drop down to reach Calendar, Docs, Groups, Blogs, Books, Patents, Notebook, Web History and My Account. they have also added more of a web 2.0 feel and got rid of some of the adds. It looks great but, in true Google fashion, not everyone can see the change including me. There is a workaround however that may change that for you but it didn't work for me. Enter in the address bar and see what happens. From what I understand, Google is testing out a few new designs which is most likely why not every one can see them.

iTunes Rumored to Get Subscription Based Service
According to Les Ottolenghi, CEO of INTENT MediaWorks, Apple could be leaning towards implementing such a service "within the next six months," and even went so far as to suggest we not believe any Apple-based denials that could potentially follow. Interestingly, several analysts even suggested that subscription-based systems haven't garnered much fanfare simply because the head honcho in digital music distribution isn't playing along.
