- Thomson, propriétaire du célèbre format de compression MP3, envisage une riposte aux formats propriétaires comme WMA et AAC, utilisés sur les plate-formes de téléchargement de fichiers musicaux. En effet, le MP3, extrêmement populaire dans les réseaux d'échange P2P n'intègre pas de système de DRM (Digital Rights Management - gestion de droits numériques), ce qui le rend incapable de protéger un fichier contre la copie. Thomson prépare donc une nouvelle version du MP3, incluant ce type de protections . Avec la multiplication des formats de protection, on peut arriver à des situations difficiles à gérer pour le consommateur, ce qui risque d'aller à l'encontre du but recherché... En anglais |

- Un nouveau service qui va sans doute être copié en Europe : GWR Group, un groupe de radio FM britannique, a dévoilé un service qui permet aux auditeurs de télécharger un morceau de musique diffusé à l'antenne. Ce service nommé " écoutez le, achetez le, gravez le " a été mis en place en partenariat avec OD2, le plus grand distributeur européen de musique numérique payante. Evidemment, ce service n'est intéressant que pour les auditeurs qui disposent d'un ordinateur à proximité ! En anglais. |

- Voici une innovation simple et ingénieuse qui nous vient de Grande Bretagne pour obtenir de l'information ciblée, qui concerne les téléphones mobiles équipés d'un appareille photo : Imaginez un petit pictogramme rond placé sur un arrêt de bus. Vous le prenez en photo avec votre mobile et vous obtenez immédiatement un message vous donnant le temps d'attente pour le prochain passage du bus. Voilà un exemple d'application du SpotCode, une sorte de code-barre circulaire qui peut être placé sur n'importe quel support (affiche, annonce immobilière, objet, …) et qui peut être reconnu par un mobile équipé d'un petit logiciel spécifique de reconnaissance d'image. Les SpotCodes ont été développés par le laboratoire des Techniques de Communication de l'université de Cambridge, et une application commerciale avec gestion de contenu associée à une solution de micropaiement a été réalisée par Bango Spots . |

- The FreeS/WAN project - the defacto standard IPSec VPN solution for 2.4 kernel based Linux hosts - has thrown in the towel. One of the major reasons is that the project's funders have chosen to not support the project any longer. The good news is that the code remains out in the open (of course), and that the people behind superfreeswan already started a community project called openswan, which seems to pick up development nicely. They just (march 1st) released a new version, also supporting linux kernel 2. |

- Sun Microcomputer VP of Software Jonathan Schwartz got another opportunity to "get his digs in" last week when the company announced their new Infinite Access Security Model. In the announcement Schwartz is quoted as saying: Network security is not the oxymoron our competitor would like you to believe. But it's time the industry admitted that the defensive approach to PC security with bigger moats, taller walls and memos from the CEO have clearly failed. |
