IBM Bundling Content With Laptops For

IBM Bundling Content With Laptops For
Schools 04/27/2004 04:11 PM
Following on the success stories coming out of places like Maine with their program to give every student a laptop, IBM is working to bundle electronic content with their school laptops, so that they arrive complete with textbooks and over 2,000 works of literature. On top of that, all those books are searchable, meaning (in some ways) they have more features than traditional textbooks. Still, what I find odd about the article is that they repeatedly compare the costs of textbooks to the costs of computers - which isn't exactly a fair comparison, unless the cost of the content is free on the laptop. I doubt that the textbook publishing companies are letting IBM put their books on the machines for free. So, while price per actual book may be cheaper, the overall price, including the hardware is always going to be noticeably higher.

T-Mobile UK Discovers Bundling,
Flat-Rates 07/19/2004 06:34 PM
Could the wireless carriers in the UK finally be understanding pricing and competitive issues? It would be a shock if it were true, but there's more evidence coming out every day. Last week we noted that Vodafone was basically giving away a 3G datacard to anyone who wanted to subscribe to their 3G wireless service. Today comes the news that T-Mobile in the UK (stealing thunder from Orange UK's 3G announcement) announced their own 3G offering that not only is cheaper than competitors but also provides unlimited data and unlimited use of T-Mobile WiFi hotspots. In other words, they're realizing that they don't need to nickel and dime people, especially when encouraging them to sign up for a new service where the benefits may not be clear to everyone who doesn't work at a mobile carrier. Instead, they're offering additional services and no annoying (and hard to monitor) limitations. It's still quite possible they'll muck this one up, and T-Mobile still does seem to believe that for-free WiFi has a place, but it's certainly a good start.

iTunes And Windows XP SP 2

iTunes And Windows XP SP 2 08/12/2004 09:21 AM
Conspir acy theory from a MacDailyNews reader: Microsoft is starting an online music service. Microsoft releases an update to Windows. Their largest competitor's software no longer works. Raise your hand if this is a shock to you.
iTunes didn't "no longer works." What happened is that the firewall in Windows is warning the user that, hey, iTunes is sending out and receiving data into your computer. If you trust iTunes and Apple, then just press this "OK" button to allow the network traffic.
Which is precisely the correct behavior of a firewall. If Microsoft's firewall didn't do this, I'd say that Microsoft has failed in SP2.
One have to remember that there are quite a bit of network traffic for iTunes: Rendezvous. (This is what iTunes is using to share music, and find other users that are sharing music.)
Sorry, but if you are going to post in a forum accusing Microsoft (or any other companies) of doing illegal things, firstly, get your facts straight.

iTunes 4 Windows

iTunes 4 Windows 10/28/2003 11:08 PM
Hell has indeed frozen over - Apple have made iTunes 4.1 available to Windows users. It's building up to an interesting time in the music sharing sphere (?!). As competition to the iTunes Music Store, Dell and Napster are also rolling out their own music sharing services within the next few weeks. It'll be interesting to see how iTunes is received within the Wintel crowd. I'm confident that the product speaks for itself - the only problem might be making enough Window's users aware of it. There may also be a negative effect simply resulting from it being an Apple product, though the reverse of this argument doesn't hold when you take into account the popularity of Microsoft software on the Mac (Outlook, Word, Excel etc.).

Bundling Options 01/04/2005 11:03 AM
A judge's ruling that Microsoft Corp. must comply with sanctions imposed by the European Commission while pursuing an appeal of them may affect the company's ability to bundle new technology into its operating system, according to analysts. In a decision issued Dec. 22, Bo Vesterdorf, president of the European Union's Court of First Instance, rejected Microsoft's request that the antitrust sanctions be suspended until its appeal is considered -- a process that is expected to take as long as five years. Vesterdorf, who presides over Europe's second-highest court, said Microsoft must offer a version of Windows without its Media Player software and publish application programming interfaces that should make it easier for rivals to integrate their products with Windows.

The Many Faces Of iTunes For Windows

The Many Faces Of iTunes For Windows 12/22/2004 01:13 AM

Microsoft Windows have a philosophy, it seems, to offer one thousand and one UI choices to do any single thing. This may not be the best UI implementation, but, hey, it's interesting that Apple's iTunes is taking this philosphy to heart.

On the Mac, you can show iTunes as a full-fledge window, as a mini-window, or hide the iTunes window.

On Windows, here's what you can do...

1) Display as a full-fledge window, just like the Macintosh version.

2) Display as a mini-window, just like the Macintosh version.

3) Minimize the window, so that it appears as a button on your task bar.

4) Also show the iTunes icon on the system tray, so that you can right-click on it to access common iTunes menu items. (To enable this option, open the preference dialog, choose "Advanced", and select "Show iTunes icon in system tray." Now, minimize the iTunes windows.)

5) Show the iTunes icon on the system tray, but don't show the iTunes button on the task bar. (To enable this option, open the preference dialog, choose "Advanced", and select both "Show iTunes icon in the system tray" and "Minimize iTunes window to system tray." Now, minimize the iTunes windows.)

6) Don't show the iTunes icon on the system tray and don't show the iTunes button on the task bar. Instead, show a mini-mini player on the task bar itself. (To enable this option, open the preference dialog, choose "Advanced", and unselect "Show iTunes icon in the system tray." Right click on an empty area of your task bar, select the "Toolbars" sub-menu, and then select the "iTunes" menu item. Now, minimize the iTunes window.)

Details are lean at the moment, but T3 has information about a new desktop audio system from Sony that can stream not only MP3s, but WMA and AAC as well. If Sony supports the DRM schemes from Apple and Microsoft, the NAS-CZ1 will be the first device I can recall that is able to play both types of DRM-locked music. Of course, they could just be talking about streaming unencumbered media files—we don't even have a proper list of specifications or price yet. (Thanks, Matthew!)
