CD creator burns copy-protection efforts - Philips, because of conformity issues, has warned the record labels that the [new copy-protected] discs are actually not CDs at all [they won't play back on computers and certain CD players] and must bear warning labels to inform consumers. [...] That means labels would also be barred from using the familiar "compact disc" logo that has been stamped on every CD since Philips and Sony jointly developed the technology in 1978. [CNET News.com] You gotta love Philips's move. Do the record labels really expect consumers to accept this farce? If I'm goint to pay $15+ for a music CD, I expect to be able to listen to it anywhere I go using any device I want to. comment []

Dos artículos interesantes para hoy: Break the speed limit! How faster broadband could be yours - David Coursey, Here's the deal. You know this broadband stuff I've been talking about? Full-time, high-speed Internet connections for your home and office? Well, it really isn't so broadband after all. And today I'd like to raise the speed limit--and enlist your help in getting more bandwidth delivered to all of us. What we have now doesn't even hint at what's possible. Comenta una iniciativa del grupo TechNet para convencer al gobierno de los Estados Unidos apoyar el proyecto de broadband universal (100Mbps en 100 millones de hogares y negocios para el 2010). The nine assassins of broadband - John C. Dvorak, PC Magazine The great Broadband Revolution is moribund, overrated, and misunderstood. What we have today is what we can expect to have in the years ahead: a rich Web, accessed through moderate connectivity (via AOL). You'll find all those people who banked on broadband in the unemployment line. El siempre controversial Dvorak explica las nueve razones por las cuales el sueño de broadband para todos no será realidad. Es interesante pero no comparto su razonamiento.

Dave Winer: RU coffee cup macro: When you publish your page, you should see a coffee mug, and if you click on it, you (or anyone reading your site with Radio 8) will be whisked away to the Subscriptions page, with the form filled with the URL to your RSS feed, ready for them to click on Submit. Needless to say their copy of Radio will check every hour to see if you've updated and your items will appear on the other person's News page. comment []

Xbox may spawn entertainment hub Microsoft plans to transform its new Xbox game console into a general home device that handles everything from e-mail to video recording, according to analysts. by David Becker @ cnet News.com Esta es una idea interesante y muy posible de hacer con un Xbox: crear un "media control center" alrededor de una cónsola de juegos. Ya tienes el DVD, el disco duro y la red ethernet. Hecho correctamente podrías tener laptops (ó desktops) alrededor de la casa conectados al Xbox, que se encontraría en el TV room. Podrías grabar video (como un TiVO ó ReplayTV) y guardar archivos MP3 en el disco duro del Xbox y verlos/oirlos en cualquier computadora de la casa (video/audio streaming). Claro que si no te interesa un Xbox no se si estarías dispuesto a pagar el costo adicional. Si la tecnología .Net tiene éxito, esto podría ser un producto interesante. Imagínate estar viendo televisión y recibir un .Net Alert avisándote que cambió el precio de algunas acciones en que has invertido ó que aparezca un titular de prensa de tu interés ó inclusive un mensaje de algún amigo. Llevándolo al extremo, podrías recibir información sobre el programa que estás viendo. No me importaría tener algo así... siempre y cuando mi computadora (con todas sus comodidades) siguiera existiendo dentro del paquete. comment []
