Winamp’s announcement that it will shut its doors on December 20 generated a pretty strong reaction from the program’s fans, who don’t want to see the app go. In fact, the support for Winamp is so strong, that its fans have created both a petition and a website in an effort to save it from extinction.
What’s more, the Winamp Change.org petition, which was created by Peter Z of Melbourne, Australia, just hit a milestone moments ago: 25,000 signatures.
The Change.org petition asks AOL, which owns Winamp, to make the source code available to the public. Doing so would, in the petition’s words, allow Winamp to “live on forever and be in the hands of people who love it and use it every day.”
The website, www.savewinamp.com, asks developers who support the idea of Winamp going open source, also includes a petition, as well as several video clips which demonstrate Winamp’s role in the history of consuming music digitally.
For what it’s worth, a report last week indicated that Microsoft was in talks with AOL to acquire Winamp. However, terms of the alleged deal were not available, and it’s currently unclear whether Microsoft and AOL have made any progress on a potential agreement. Moreover, it’s unclear that, if Microsoft were to acquire Winamp, whether Redmond would leave it unchanged, or tinker with it.

Apple has an incredible talent for making me admire its products while simultaneously questioning what on earth it's thinking with the pricing. This isn't even something as bizarre as a monitor stand, but the audacity for starting a new laptop lineup from $2,000 doesn't surprise me.
The newly announced 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 is just the latest to showcase this. The funny thing is, I already know that it's going to be a reliable workstation. You get a powerful new 2nm M6 processor, a gorgeous Liquid Retina XDR display, and up to 24 hours of battery life. We were impressed by the M5 MacBook Air, so the high-end M6 powered MacBook Pro definitely won't let us down.

Mini PCs have become an increasingly practical alternative to traditional desktops, especially if you're trying to save desk space without giving up the Windows experience. Whether you need something for everyday work, a home entertainment setup, or more demanding creative tasks, there's a surprising amount of hardware packed into these compact machines.
Apple has unveiled a new iMac and a 14-inch MacBook Pro, both powered by its new baseline M6 chip. If you’ve been eyeing either device, now is the time to act, as entry-level configurations are becoming harder to get with each product launch.
The devices will be open for pre-order Wednesday, October 28, 2026, from 10:10 AM PT. Meanwhile, deliveries and store stock will arrive on Friday, November 6.
