The Hydra Sports MP3 Player

The Hydra MP3 Player lives up to its name, or does it?  Enfolded in a rubberized casing, the Hydra MP3 player is a rugged and sporty looking player.  But the test results seem to be only slightly better than any other electronic device on the market.

Playing in the rain a bit, maybe even passing the Hydra player over running water won’t hurt it much.  But, submerging it or holding it under a running faucet for a few seconds could kill it.  The makers of this MP3 player ironically states "avoid contact with liquids."  A very safe disclaimer.

Legal Downloads From BitTorrent?

Ok, let's say that when P2P (peer to peer) programs first came out all the record companies said "download all our stuff for free," instead of taking legal action. Well that's what's happening now.
