Is the Future of E-Mail Under Cyberattack? (Jun 15 2004 16:58 GMT) - For years, consumers and corporations raved about e-mail's potential. Now they're fretting about its future.

Honey, Let's Download a Movie (Jun 15 2004 16:57 GMT) - As Real Networks joins Movielink (owned by five movie studios, site inaccessable to non-Americans) and CinemaNow (partly owned by Microsoft) in the legit movie download business, the actual number of subscribers is pretty paltry. The two existing services distribute a mere 135,000 movies per month. Why aren't they selling better? Let's see: Could 10 to 30 minute downloads, lousy image quality, DRM and file-sharing networks have anything to do with it? |

Automatic Software Downloading Now Patented (Jun 15 2004 16:55 GMT) - The latest in a long line of patent hoarding companies to come out of nowhere with a patent for something obvious to threaten lots of companies is British Technology Group. They're now waving around a a patent for automatic software downloads for things like anti-virus updates and are threatening a number of companies, including Microsoft, if they don't pay up. First off, there must be some prior art on this. Automatic software downloads are hardly a "new" technology. It would also be interesting to hear how this is possibly "non-obvious" considering that tons of companies offer this feature on their software, and its unlikely that most of them did so because they dug up some obscure patent and "stole" the idea. |
