Costco.com selling Zunes now
Posted by Brier Dudley
For $239.99 -- $10 below the list price.
That's close to the Zune discount Microsoft is giving employees at the company store. An anonymous commenter at Mini-Microsoft grumbled that they're getting only 10 percent off, meaning employees will pay $225.
Costco's taking orders but it's not delivering them early though -- it says they'll ship Nov. 14.

Seattle's YouTube
Posted by Brier Dudley
Today's column looks at Atom Films, the YouTube of its day, and explores why it wasn't sold to Google for $1.65 billion. One factor is timing; another may be Seattle culture.
I'd love to what people are thinking about this topic.
It's apparently YouTube analysis week. The New York Times' Richard Siklos talked to the president of Time Warner about the "loopy" deal, Steven Levy offered his take in Newsweek and Elinor Mills offers her take at Cnet.
I feel for The New Yorker and Forbes - they both have big YouTube stories that were written before the sale.
