Today, Microsoft rolls out its MSN Music store, directly challenging its nemesis, Apple Computer, which so far has ruled that business. I’ve been testing Microsoft’s new store in advance of today’s launch and comparing it with Apple’s much-praised iTunes music store.

New Features: Friends & Addressbook

Blogware users got a small preview of version 1.0 this week with the release of our new Address Book and Friends functionality.

The Ad dress Book is a pretty cool mechanism that provides Blogware Publishers with some pretty nifty tools for managing the relationships between users and content.

The other new function, Friend s, is a simple tool that allows users to connect with one another and will act as the basis for a bunch of cool new services as we move forward.

Play around with them and let me know what you think (keeping in mind that this is "pre-release preview beta not-finished yet" stuff....) [Random Bytes]

I got to be friend #1.  Ah the joys of being an 'outside friend'.  One more win for the FOAFnet.


Crap. Goodbye Elliot.


Crap. Goodbye Elliot. 10/28/2003 11:07 PM

Elliot Smith killed himself today. I downloaded a few songs of his back in the Napster heyday and ended up buying a few CDs. I had the opportunity to see him live a few times in SF, but never went.

Crap, I really liked his stuff.

It's a little weird, in a life-imitates-art sort of way, to realize his song was used in a suicide scene (in The Royal Tennenbaums), and now he's gone and done that himself.

08/17/2004 06:54 PM
Microsoft is gunning for open source software this week by signing a new three year deal with the UK Government. Microsoft has indicated that it will help the public sector get more out of IT by supplying extra support and services rather than cutting licence fees.

Microsoft's current contract with the UK government is due to expire early next year. It's not clear what will be in the new deal but it's likely to be a significant step in the drive for modernising the UK government.
