More Media (Oct 23 2003 17:58 GMT) - I've been told the article on Outside the Inbox should show up tomorrow in La Presse. Some songs from Outside the Inbox are apparently being played on WMBC thanks to Wes Weber. Outside the Inbox was mentioned (on air?) on 5FM, a South African (i think) radio station. Thanks to everyone who has been linking to it and mentioning it! |

- Fearless Leader of Google Engineering, Wayne Rosing has a really good interview in this month's ACM Queue. I'm one of the (very?) few engineers in Google without at least a bachelor's degree. When we were being acquired, Wayne said that my lack of a degree didn't matter because 1) it was obvious that I could do my job since I had already done it, and 2) he didn't have a degree, either. That made me glad to be joining. |

- The iTunes Music Store for Windows has been out for almost a week now, and according to Apple, the client has been downloaded over a million times since then. To me it seems like Apple is doing well. But then again we hear reports of people who's computers were crashed by it, Microsoft (and it's cronies) bash it, and of course the complaints of people with non-iPod MP3 players, who are unable to play their music. So the question really is, how well is the iTunes Music Store really doing? |
