  1. Comment - Tablet PC Prototypes Arrive at COMDEX

    (Nov 15, 2001 - 3:55 AM)

    Not really true - Microsoft is part of the platform that sets the minimum requirements for the tablet-PC and as far as I heard they are pushing 802.11b as the wireless-standard.

    In 'The World According to Microsoft' there is no place anymore for Bluetooth.

  2. Comment - Interview: Ogg Vorbis Frees the Music

    (Sep 5, 2001 - 12:53 PM)

    The music industry is going to change because of the Internet and formats like MP3 and others. This is something the industry will have to face.

    There are MANY ways for artists to earn money by making music. Selling CDs is not the way for an artist to make money in the 21st century. It never was actually as most of the revenues went to the whole distribution-system that stood in between the artists and the public. The Internet has just made this point all the more clear.

    The future of making music and earning your living doing that will be in doing it very different to what we've become used to in the past century. I know many artists have openly declared to be in favor of people listening to their music on MP3s they have swapped with other fans.

    The future is here and the big record companies are dinosaurs trying to survive by screaming rape and murder.
