Sheesh. Zipping an MP3 file for Macintosh users is silly, but a close second is Stuffing a PDF — which seems very common. Sheesh.

Zipping an MP3 file carries with it about as much logic as launching a Mac news site in a shitty economy. ;) In other related news, I've started referring to MacMinute as McMinute. I think you can figure out why. :p Indeed. Zipping an MP3 file carries with it about as much logic as launching a Mac news site in a shitty economy. ;)

So you can maybe take it on the train on the way to work? It's not meant to save space. If you don't want the .zip, just use the .mp3 version--yes it's provided: <a href="http://insidemac.macupdate.com/daily.mp3">http://insidemac.macupdate.com/daily.mp3</a> It's updated daily at 7PM EST (I believe) and I set up a cron job to fetch it for me via cURL. Not bad. I'm not a big one for getting news via audio since it follow it before 7PM, but for a lot of people that take the train to work in the morning this would be nice. Set your laptop to fetch it at 5AM and you got news on your desktop. I'd like to see MP3 streaming for us "non-laptop" folk. Also, I believe it's zipped because both Macs and PC's can decompress it by default. I think you have to download stuff to get a .sit to decompress on Windows.
