Shortly after releasing their CueTV to Radio Shack stores, with an attached contest promoted by NBC, Digital Convergence-- of CueCat fame-- fires everybody. Radio Shack says the free CueCat barcode scanners will still be available in stores until they run out of them. If you think you have any use for a barcode scanner, such as for catalogging your music or book libraries quickly and easily, you might want to run out and grab one. There's already plenty of free software out there to use the things (at DC's protest).
