News.com Daily Podcast: Final bow for Windows XP

by Holly Jackson

iTunes has dominated the music distributing market, but three new services are hoping to make a name for themselves. Verizon Wireless and Rhapsody are pairing up to offer DRM-free music through Verizon's V-Cast store. Also, clothing store Hot Topic will start its music subscription and band apparel service through ShockHound. And Project Red, a charity foundation, will deliver music to subscribers and donate half the proceeds to charity.

Plus, Monday marks the last day for broad sales of Windows XP. CNET News.com reporter Ina Fried talks with Leslie Katz about what it means Windows users.

After 5 years, Firefox faces new challenges

Mozilla helped reshape the Web since releasing Firefox 1.0 five years ago. Now it's got a reawakened Microsoft and Google Chrome to reckon with.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
