- The Walt Disney Company plans to explore all businesses in India, including broadband, ventures in mobile services like downloading ringtones and wallpapers, publishing, films, Internet, radio, merchandise and theme parks, besides television broadcasting. However, right now, the $30-billion company is focused on TV, according to executive vice-president and managing director of the company Douglas K Miller. Creativity, technology and international expansion are the three focus areas of Walt Disney, he said. Without giving out any investment figures, Mr Miller said the India project would break even in mid to long-term. Miller was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a conference on the launch of two Disney channels in India. |

- fermion writes "Do you wonder what all those free iPods links are about? Do you wonder why apparently rational Slashdot users would use their .sig line to push an offer that seems little more than a thinly veiled pyramid scheme?

- On my Wrong Notes music blog, I just posted some suggestions for podcast talk shows from my point of view as a musician. But, I have a few more techie comments on podcasts that I wanted to post here as well. Listening to a bunch of podcasts with folks basically doing audio blog posts, I'm getting the feeling that the microcontent advantage of textual blog posts is getting lost in the translation to audio.
