Microsoft to Offer a Media-Player-Free
Version of Windows by January
12/24/2004 12:25 PMOn Wednesday, the European Court judge overseeing the European Union
vs. Microsoft antitrust case did what many observers thought he would
not. He denied Microsoft's request that the ordered remedies
(including the unbundling of Windows Media Player from Windows) be
postponed. Whether or not Microsoft appeals his denial, the Redmond
software giant said it will deliver to European OEMs starting in
January a Windows-Media-Player-free version of Windows. Microsoft also
will publish communications protocols, including some
heretofore-unpublished Windows Server ones, as part of the judge's
order.

Portagame is reporting that the new version of the
GBA Movie Player (not the one from Nintendo, but a third-party one) is
now not only thinner, but also allows you to play emulated games from
ROMs, be they legal homebrews or less-than-legal warez copies. It's
only $25 at Lik-Sang, and I almost ordered one to try it out, but then
was struck by my Lik-Sang curse - my shopping cart was literally at
$150 before I was out of the Nintendo section and on to the
Playstation one, so I had to close the whole window and pretend it
never happened. If you've got stronger resistance to Lik-Sang's
importy goodness, you might give it a try.
Oh, and the main reason to get the GBA movie player is that you can
convert DVDs or whatever to the format, copy them to CF cards, and
watch movies on the go. It's a much better option than Nintendo's
sanctioned offering that limits what movies you can watch.

Good morning, friends. I had
a great time in Virginia this weekend, although as is typical at a LAN
I played videogames for about 2 hours and drank for about 8 each day
(not that this is necessarily in error). That being said, I'm glad to
be back, so I can talk about things like this update to the Samsung
YP-T5 "World's Smallest" YP-T5 flash player, the YP-ST5. Although the
form factor is pretty much the same, the battery life has been bumped
from 8 hours of playback to 20, USB 2.0 support is in, and an updated
firmware (around August or so) will add OGG Vorbis support.
Also, reheated fried calamari has the delicate taste and texture of
a cockring. Take the necessary flavor precautions.

Day to Day:
The Screen Actors' Guild has rejected a work agreement with the video
game industry -- but its sister union, AFTRA, has accepted. I talk
with host Alex Chadwick about the contentious relationships between
both unions and game publishers, and the debate over whether voice
actors are entitled to a share of electronic game profits. What will
SAG's rejection mean for actors? What effect will the dispute have on
next year's crop of games?

UPDATED: Not so fast. The Screen Actors Guild
just issued this surprise announcement:
SAG President Melissa Gilbert and National Executive Director/CEO Greg
Hessinger will convene a special meeting of the national board on
Wednesday, June 29, to consider the tentative Interactive Media
Agreement with video game companies that was rejected this past
Tuesday by SAG’s National Executive Committee.
“When the NEC rejected the tentative contract earlier this week, we
said we’d explore all our remaining options,” said Hessinger.
“Since then, we have received feedback from enough of our membership
to conclude that this matter must be brought before the full board for
its consideration.”
The previous three-year agreement with video game companies expired
this past May 13 after several months of bargaining with the
companies. Over the course of the subsequent weeks, SAG issued a
strike referendum to its affected members, before reaching a tentative
agreement on June 8, which is set to expire next Thursday, June 30.
The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, which
negotiated jointly with SAG, approved the agreement last week and it
will go into effect for their members on July 1, 2005.

catching on as a fashion statement and turning into a cultural icon in
Japan, much the same way it won a fanatic following in the United

the top eight selling music players in Japan are iPod models,
