Whipped up my own sample iTunes page. Unfortunately Apple now encrypts the connection with AES128, and their xml syntax seems non-standard. At the moment the only freely available iTunes SDK is for the visualizer; any others are supposedly for hardware developers only. HP made a smart move, in my opinion.

Interesting take on the possible future of equity research. Once again, information (and the processing of) is king.
Google never ceases to amaze me. I frequently cut and paste snippets of text I find interesting from websites, articles, etc; they all go into a desktop Stickie designated for this collection of quotes. Unfortunately I’m not as thorough in tagging the quote with the source. But not matter how long the [...]
XBox to be PPC based. The implications of this are enormous, and the ripple effect will be interesting to watch. Ask yourself, which is the bigger brother — Microsoft or Intel? This declaration is a blatant snuff. At the same time, Sony may make a handsome profit at Microsoft’s expense. [...]
This week’s WeeklyDV is amazing. 14 fantastic shorts. If you’ve got broadband (and who doesn’t these days?) do yourself a favor and check them out. Watch Jason’s Loneliness to set you in the mood for the rest of ‘em.
Digital still cameras are doing rather well, as I would have expected. It’s reached a point where I am surprised when someone whips out a disposable at some party function. But I have to admit — more than once have I wanted that “disposable feel” over a pricy digital-button keyboard-like touch, especially when [...]
Good article over at Wired on Philip K Dick. If you’ve been getting to know him mostly through Hollywood detritus (okay, maybe that’s a bit harsh…), read the article to know where the real ideas came from.
As Terrie Lloyd comments on this week, junk sells, and seems to be a growing business. With high product turnover rates, the Japanese probably discard some of the newest, cleanest junk. And finding a taker is actually really easy. Just this past year, I’ve helped get rid of a long couch, filing [...]
This month’s Fast Company has a slew of good articles, but this one in particular presents just the tip of an iceberg. Anyone who has read Lou Gerstner’s Who Says Elephant’s Can’t Dance? will realize the continuing ripple of his turn-around of IBM even after his departure; restructured from a general ‘manufacturing’ mentality to [...]
Kevin Marks comments on whether there is a “Moore’s Law for compression” (thanks Gen). Although he uses trends in media-storage space to show the increasing irrelevancy of compression, I would expand on it by looking at network bandwidth trends. We’ve seen consumer-grade bandwidth go from 28kbps modems back around 1995 to 100Mbps FTTH [...]
