- No surprises in this ABC online story that security tapes from the Old Parliament House haven't helped police id a suspect in the fire at the Tent Embassy earlier this year. It appears that the Tent Embassy residents are also "demanding" the police records into the investigation.

blogs (Dec 19 2003 05:55 GMT) - Syndication in consumer electronics. An article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal (subscription required) vindicates the Harvard Business Review piece I published three years ago on syndication as the business model for the digital age. I was focused on e-commerce, but the same dynamics are hitting businesses in the very physical consumer electronics industry.
