  2. Comment - No Supreme Court Decision on P2P Yet

    (Jun 20, 2005 - 4:05 PM)

    How about a service like Dijjer? Are they at all open to liability for copyright infringement even though the original content can be traced back to the source. It's a pretty neat concept and the ease of use and trackability seems to be a neat benefit:

    www.dijjer.com

    and I posted about it here:

    The original content would be hosted on my website and then shared after that. Does that successfully defer liability to me as the owner of the website?

    Thanks,

  3. Comment - Georgia County Outfits Students with iBooks

    When will HP/Dell/PC Vendor Whoever wakeup and give all these kids new Tablet PC's running Windows Tablet. That would go a long way to ensuring adoption in the near future... esp. giving them to students in 8th+ grade. This is why Apple hangs on in the laptop/desktop market even though they churn out an inferior proprietary product.

  4. Comment - Wal-Mart Offers Custom Music CDs

    What not just go ahead and burn them to flash or to your usb dongle... Am I mistaken or wasn't there another large retailer - I am thinking Target - that tried this very business model (cd's not flash) - and failed?

    I think that Wal-Mart is trying to cut their pricepoints from $12ish/cd down to $nish/song and thereby increase overall volume... Wouldn't it just be as beneficial for them to allow a bring your own media and save a buck?

  5. Comment - Microsoft Goes After PDF with 'Metro'

    (Apr 26, 2005 - 2:27 PM)

    This seems like one of those things that is well suited for an open specification - not tightly integrated into Longhorn or requiring any proprietary applications to create.

    [QUOTE]
    Microsoft hopes to promote adoption of Metro by pushing its use of open standards. The company will provide a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) for developers that wish to incorporate Metro technologies into their applications. Microsoft will also offer a royalty-free license for Metro.
