Apple Takes a Bigger Bite of RSS

Safari RSS Reader

"Steve Jobs demoed Safari’s RSS Reader today. Read about it and then check it out in action.

Update: Brent Simmons, developer of NetNewsWire, reacts to Safari RSS." [The RSS Weblog]

Is this big news? Sure, but anyone that reads Scoble knows Microsoft is working towards integrating RSS into Longhorn itself.

However, I agree 100% with Steven that the best RSS aggregator is one that is web-based, not a desktop client. As more and more people shift their information on the go, the last thing they'll need is to begin relying heavily on an aggregator that they'll lose when their desktop crashes. 'Cause we've all had that happen, haven't we?

iTunes hacker ranks music and auto-pays
musicians with perl scripts 04/19/2005 03:38 AM
Cory Doctorow: Merlin sez, "Glenn McDonald has concocted a wonderfully byzantine bit of iTunes scripting that rates his music tracks automatically based on a number of factors. Great stuff. Perhaps most interestingly, though, he uses some of the resulting data from his listening habits to determine any outstanding 'payments' that he owes to the artist, dutifully paid via an automated perl script."

For artists who accept electronic payment via Paypal or credit cards, the database records the relevant payment info. A separate nightly perl script issues electronic payments (via CapitolOne's excellent web-services "micropayment" (sic) interface) where possible (batched until the amount exceeds $1.75), and for artists without electronic payment info, totals the corresponding amounts and transfers the overall total to the money-market escrow account I have for this purpose. The escrow account isn't automated yet, but I usually kludge around this, when I get new payment info for an artist, by simply moving the money back out of escrow, resetting the amount paid/escrowed to $0, and rerunning the original script. At the end of each month I mail physical checks to artists for whom I have physical addresses but not electronic, and rebalance the escrow account accordingly. I don't currently have a way to split this compensation across the performer and the publisher for material where the two are different. The best I can do is include track info with all my payments and rely on the artist in turn to pay for material they acquired from elsewhere.

I did an interview last month with James Schellenberg from Strange Horizons, on the kind of music I listen to while writing, as part of a piece on SF writers' listening habits. I hand-rate all my music and use iTunes's last-played feature to put together a rolling playlist of high-ranked music I haven't heard in 30 days or more, so I get to hear all my fave music (at least) once a month.
