Will Mini iPods Delete Bigger iPods?

Will Mini iPods Delete Bigger iPods? 01/07/2004 06:38 PM
Well, as every other tech site in the world is now telling you, the not-so-secret rumors that Apple was coming out with a "mini iPod", cleverly named "iPod mini" are completely true. The other big story people are focusing on are that Apple has gotten past their Henry Ford-style color options, and will offer the iPod mini in multiple colors. You can read all the details at other sites, but in looking over the stories about the device, I'm wondering if the iPod mini will replace the iPod itself as the popular music device of choice. Personally, I don't own an iPod or any portable digital music player (I barely have any digital music - so buying such a device would only mean I need to rip all my CDs, which is a project I'm still not ready to bother with). Still, the iPod mini seems to make a lot more sense to me than many other portable music devices. The early MP3 players had way too little memory, but once you get up into the 4 gigabyte range, I wonder how much more some people need. Historically, of course, that's a dangerous viewpoint to take - since we've always figured out ways to fill up empty storage space. With Apple even advertising games, calendars and other iPod apps - you can imagine that the memory will go. However, if I were in the market for such a device, I'd definitely go with the mini iPod version right now: it's a better size for carrying around and it's "good enough" in terms of storage space - not to mention that it's cheaper. Thus, while I'm sure there are some people who simply need to have more storage space, I'm wondering if this mini iPod will steal marketshare away from its big brother.

Episode III 12" Mock-Up?

Episode III 12" Mock-Up? 06/25/2004 10:42 AM
The image above showed up in an ebay auction recently, and a few sharp-eyed fans have spotted the outline of General Grievous on the packaging. Despite the inclusion of the Stormtrooper figure inside, Aaron from POTF2. com thinks this may be some kind of exclusive packaging, possibly showing off the new packaging design for the Episode III 12" line, More on this as get closer to the launch of the line, but it's interesting to speculate on it. Thanks also go to Durge and DarthBob for the news.

RoboChris has the first images of what is rumored to be a target-exclusive series of glasses packaged with action figures. Similar to the vintage Burger King glasses, these are reportedly plastic glasses with all-new designs. Ben Kenobi and Darth maul are shown, and the current rumor mill suggests Grand Moff Tarkin, a Bespin Guard and Wicket as other potential sets. Since no official word has come from Hasbro, just consider this a rumor for now, and join in the debate in our forum.

ISPs Mock Network Neutrality, Want To
Block Your VoIP Usage

ISPs Mock Network Neutrality, Want To
Block Your VoIP Usage 03/30/2005 05:20 PM
It looks like some ISP are just screaming out to be regulated. For the most part, the FCC has avoided mandating network neutrality because there was almost no evidence that ISPs were blocking or favoring certain traffic from competitive offerings. Well, not any more. While the FCC has alread y penalized one ISP for blocking Vonage traffic, the issue is getting a lot more attention since overhyped wireless ISP Clearwire proud ly joined the block brigade. What's surprising, though, is the amount of vocal support they appear to be getting from other ISPs. Broadband Reports points to an article quoting a few ISP representatives who come out in support of Clearwire, and claim that ISPs should have full control over what their users do on their lines -- and if that means blocking access to things like competitive VoIP, more power to them. It even includes some highly sarcastic comments from the president and CEO of the U.S. Internet Industry Association: "Oh, yes, we should run screaming to nanny government and get permission to stop Clearwire if we don't like what they do." These ISPs claim they're selling unlimited access to the internet -- and the value that they're selling are all of the applications and services that allows. Blocking certain applications is false advertising. If they want to sell access to their own private network with specific limitations, they should make that clear. If they're selling unlimited access to the internet, then they shouldn't be blocking usage.

Ray Bradbury's Bizarre Complaint

Ray Bradbury's Bizarre Complaint 06/20/2004 12:12 AM

Ray Bradbury is one of the great science fiction writers. But in his advancing years he's also acting in a fairly petty manner. The author of the brilliant novel "Fahrenheit 451" is claiming to anyone who'll listen (AP) that Michael Moore has somehow committed an act of intellectual theft by naming his new movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" without asking permission. He may have a shadow of a point here, but not much more than that. Here's why. First, you can't copyright a title. See "What is Not Protected by Copyright" on the website of the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. If Bradbury or anyone connected to him is even thinking of suing, forget it. (There's no trademark on the expression "Fahrenheit 9/11", by the way.) Second, Moore didn't use the same title. He did a word-play on Bradbury's book -- a clever gimmick that resonated with anyone who'd read the novel, a stark warning against totalitarianism and call for people to think for themselves. This kind of thing goes on all the time, and it's part of the artistic process -- building on what came before by using cultural references (of which Fahrenheit 451 is deservedly one) in new creative works. Third, as several people have noted, Bradbury -- author of "Something Wicked This Way Comes" (William Shakespeare) and "I Sing the Body Electric" (Walt Whitman)-- wasn't what you'd call fastidious when it came to totally original titles (not that he should have been). Apparently Bradbury is mostly bothered by Moore's title for commercial reasons, because of an upcoming movie based on his book. (Francois Truffaut did a weird adaptation in the 1960s.) I heard him on a local talk-radio station today, and after he dumped on Moore he seemed cheerful enough in talking about the picture. He's certainly getting plenty of publicity mileage, anyway. The host of the far-right-wing radio show was abysmally uninformed, meanwhile. She was asking him if he planned to sue Moore. Bradbury wisely indicated no such plans, because he'd likely be laughed out of court. (The host also read approvingly from the Foreword to an early edition of the book. It was by a teacher at a Quaker school. She plainly missed the irony.) Moore would have been smart to send a letter to Bradbury months ago, saying the name of his new film was an homage to one of the essential pro-freedom and pro-thinking literary works of recent times. Bradbury would be smart to let this go.

But they're wrong. And this legal complaint ins the proof. By Electronic Frontier Foundation (via MyAppleMenu)
