Computing Review: June 2nd through June 8thby Mary Ann Romans | More from this Blogger 12 Jun 2007 07:01 AM Have you been following all of the adventure with the iPhone? Or how about checking out those fun widgets. Just in case you've missed any of the computing blogs for this past week, here they are for your browsing pleasure. June 2nd Apple recently unveiled the new iTunes Plus service for iTunes customers. With the service, you can download higher quality audio tracks that are DRM-free for an extra fee. But is it worth it? DRM is the technology that protects music tracks from piracy. The drawback to DRM is that the quality of a track can suffer. DRM-free music, or unprotected music, generally sounds better, with clearer tones and less overwhelming noise or screechy-ness.

June 6th Wednesday Widgets: Banana Warehouse For today's Wednesday Widgets, we are going to be a little playful. Game widgets are popping up faster than you can say Suduko.
