MySpace to test ad-funded free music downloads
Hey, everyone! Guess what? MySpace is still going!
Its latest scheme to stop becoming a desolate wasteland as everyone switches to Facebook is this – free music. Free proper downloads, not just the low quality streaming business it’s made its own over the last few years.

Online-only MySpace TV show 'Quarterlife' transfers to proper telly
Online show Quarterlife has been signed up by US network NBC, in a deal to show the thing on TVs worldwide and to flog those lucrative DVD box sets.
Only it’s not quite the fantastical dreams-coming-true story as it seems. The “online show” was created by a couple of guys called Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, who just so happen…
Courtney Love on a Radiohead-style digital release, forgets previous album sold 250,000 copies

PS3's Gran Turismo 5 to feature downloadable episodes of Top Gear
This is a very odd thing. But the press release appears to be genuine, so we'll do something on it.
Upcoming PlayStation3 racer Gran Turismo 5 will let gamers download episodes of the BBC's boy racer show Top Gear, thanks to a deal between Sony and the Beeb. The game will have a little section called "GT TV" where web-connected PS3s will be able to download the show, along with other content (presumably "user generated") based around the racer.
Here's what it looks like on PS3, so you can imagine it better:
