Yesterday was the 15th anniversary of the release of the iPod. Today, we look at the the world has changed since then. Also, Mobipocket is turning off the lights, a new app that tracks runners and a case study on how the public domain may be a little more malleable than we thought. In deals, vacuums, survival gear, UPS systems and waterproof bluetooth speakers.

(A note on Daily Deals: All prices current at the time of posting and subject to change. Most items marked Daily Deals are good for only the day posted.

Many large promotions have discount pricing that is set by the publisher. This usually means that titles can be found at a discount price across most platforms (with iTunes sometimes being the exception). If you have a favorite retailer you like to patronize, check the title on that website. There is a good chance that they will be matching the sale price.)
