Cross Platform DRM (Oct 17 2003 17:56 GMT) - Tristan Louis says yesterday's big news is about Apple's cross-platform DRM and some logical progressions. As predicted, Apple introduced a version of Itunes for windows today. A lot will be written about how this solidifies Apple's lead in the digital music player market but what many may be overlooking is how Apple is pushing its own version of Digital Rights Management into a wider market. I suspect this is a strategy similar to the one they used in the early 1990s to make quicktime a strong contender for digital video. While companies from Intel to Microsoft are talking about how they plan to implement digital rights in the future and are taking tentative steps in that direction, Apple is working on a strategy that covers multiple platforms beginning today. |

No Shame V- The Warning. (Oct 17 2003 17:55 GMT) - Yesterday, I noted that the previous President claimed the other day that as he welcomed President Bush into office, he warned the President that Osama bin Laden was the biggest threat this nation faced.

Why Are Guys So Into Gadgets? (Oct 17 2003 17:54 GMT) - Sure, sure, there have been studies that show that women actually do like gadgets, but it remains an area where men are clearly the primary consumer. A (female) reporter for the BBC explores why men dig gadgets so much more than women. There's the evolutionary theory (survival of the fittest: more, better shiny gadgets let us men kill more animals and be the grand provider and protector). There's also the distraction theory (gadgets are "are easier and less complicated to interact with than women"). |

UN Supports U.S. (Oct 17 2003 17:53 GMT) - The United States won its biggest victory in Iraq since the toppling of Saddam Hussein as the UN Security Council unanimously approved a new resolution Thursday that opens the way for increased international help with reconstruction and peacekeeping. After standing firm against attempts by France, Russia and Germany to set deadlines for surrendering power to an Iraqi interim government, Washington secured endorsement of its draft, which leaves the U.S.- and British-led coalition in control of the country until a handover is "practicable."

DIDW: Doc Searls Endnote (Oct 17 2003 17:52 GMT) - There's now a tradition that Doc closes out Digital ID World. Its a good conference strategy--I stuck around to hear Doc even though the desire to get into the sky and home is pretty strong. I'm glad I did. I can't possibly do justice to a Doc Searl's presentation, but here's some thoughts I had while I was listening. |
