washingtonpost.com - In a recent Random Access, I referenced a study that concluded you can tell a lot about someone's personality by analyzing the playlists on his or her iPod. Not long after that, I found myself standing at a red light in midtown Manhattan noticing that nearly everyone around me had white wires winding from their ears into their pockets.

Sony to create "iTunes for movies,"
release 500 films digitally within a
year 03/31/2005 11:46 PM
Xeni Jardin: At a conference in Santa Monica today, Sony Pictures Digital Entertainment SVP Michael Arrieta said:

"We want to set business models, pricing models, distribution models like (Apple Computer CEO Steve) Jobs did for music, but for the film industry," [said Arrieta], "I'm trying to create the new 'anti-Napster."

To that end, Arrieta said, his group plans to digitize Sony Pictures' top 500 films and make them available for the first time in various digital environments within the next year. He said the distribution for films like "Spider-Man 2" will go beyond just Movielink, the video-on-demand joint venture of Sony Pictures and several other major studios, which to date has hosted a limited library of Sony's movies.

For example, Sony plans to sell and make films available in flash memory for mobile phones in the next year, Arrieta said. It also will further develop its digital stores for downloading and owning films on the PC, he said in an interview. Sony's plans--and similar moves by other studios--are likely to avoid empowering any one technology company--such as Apple in the music equation--and allow studios to pocket more of the profits. The philosophy in Hollywood is "Define your own agenda or someone else will for you."

And that's Not All Folks: Welcome to KDE

And that's Not All Folks: Welcome to KDE Enhanced by Feedster

And wait !  There's more.  And this one is just plain damn wonderful.  If you are a user of KDE, Feedster has now been integrated into KDE.  For right now you have to install it yourself but it has already been checked into the CVS tree for the 3.2 release.  Let me quote from the documentation:

Not really eye-candy, but I had to place this somewhere. I have commited a .desktop file for Konqueror's shortcuts to CVS HEAD. If you can't wait for KDE 3.2, you can download the .desktop file here. [_Go_]

Here's how it works:

1. In a url bar you can now type something like this: rss:Canadian or blog:Canadian or feedster:Canadian 
2. The search is automagically sent to Feedster and you get the results!

Feedster + KDE -- Two Great Tastes that Taste Great Together !

What is KDE ?

In case you're not a part of the Open Source community, you may wonder "What's he saying?"  Or "What's KDE?" Or the ever popular "Is he on crack?".  To quote from the KDE.org site:

KDE is a powerful Open Source graphical desktop environment for Unix workstations. It combines ease of use, contemporary functionality, and outstanding graphical design with the technological superiority of the Unix operating system. [_Go_]

KDE runs on top of Linux / Unix and provides the windows, menus, overall environment, the look and feel, etc.  Please note that is a simplified explanation that doesn't take into account lots of things.  I know its not 100% accurate. 

Depending on how you measure it, KDE is the #1 or #2 windowing environment for Linux.  Now do you see why I'm excited?

How this Happened

Now I'd love to tell you this was my idea.  It wasn't.  I'd also love to tell you that this was part of our strategy.  Nope.  Like so many *good* things, it was actually kind of random.  Yesterday out of the blue, I got an IM from a fellow blogger, the.amazing.us / Rob Kaper, who also works on KDE.  He came up with idea, implemented the idea and the committed it to the CVS repository for KDE 3.2 (due year end).  Wow!  And to think, we released Feedster last Thursday, got Slashdotted on Sunday and changed the name on Tuesday.  And now its already embedded in KDE ?

The Thank Yous

Thank you to everyone who pitched in:

• Rob Kaper who did all the work and really deserves all the credit (Netherlands)
• Ditesh who tested it (Malaysia)
• Sooz who pointed out that not everyone knows what KDE is
• A few folks who I don't have urls for (unfortunately but particular thanks to Macandyed, Jasonlotito and Traumwind)
