Six Apart, Moreover, and FeedDemon Team up with NewsGator to Enhance Content, Search, and Synchronization Capabilities for Customers

DENVER, CO -- September 29, 2004 -- NewsGator Technologies, the leading RSS software platform company, announced today three significant partnerships which will enhance its leading RSS technology platform. NewsGator customers can now synchronize their online subscription information with FeedDemon, they will enjoy a wider range of search content in their custom search feeds, and they will experience a tighter integration with leading weblog platforms.

FeedDemon

NewsGator and Bradbury Software announced today that FeedDemon will now synchronize subscription information with NewsGator Online Services. FeedDemon users will now be able to read their selected content not only on their desktop, but also on the web, on their mobile devices, on their Media Centers, or in Microsoft Outlook or other popular email clients. The latest addition to NewsGator's "any time, any place, any device" strategy, this partnership ensures that FeedDemon users can enjoy the benefits that NewsGator's customers have enjoyed since early 2004 -- access to their content from anywhere, without having to read the same things twice.

"We're excited to extend our reach to multiple devices by partnering with NewsGator," said Nick Bradbury, founder of Bradbury Software and creator of FeedDemon. "Our customers have been asking for synchronization capability like this for a long time, and NewsGator is a leader in this space."

The next beta release of FeedDemon 1.5 will contain this synchronization capability.

Moreover

NewsGator and Moreover announced an agreement to include Moreover news search data in NewsGator's search feeds. Part of the NewsGator Online Services platform, NewsGator search feeds include filtered data from blogs, news sites, SEC filings, and other sources, and return results in a single feed, with no advertising. In addition, NewsGator will carry Moreover's aggregated news search feeds in its desktop and online products, providing topic-specific information to users.

"We're delighted to have been chosen by NewsGator to be the primary provider of news search content for NewsGator Online Services," said Jim Pitkow, CEO of Moreover.

Six Apart

NewsGator and Six Apart, the leading provider of weblog publishing software, announced a co-marketing relationship focused on enterprise sales of the two companies' leading technology platforms. NewsGator also announced that it will be releasing new plug-ins and other technology to make it simple to post feed content from NewsGator products to Six Apart blogs in Movable Type and TypePad. The companies plan significant future co-development work to enhance the experience for RSS and blog customers.

Andrew Anker, Executive Vice President of Six Apart, said "We're very pleased to partner with NewsGator as they continue to make it easy for their big installed base of weblog readers to become weblog creators. Tighter integration between NewsGator's products and Movable Type and TypePad will be great for our mutual customers."

Greg Reinacker, founder and CTO of NewsGator, said, "We're very excited about these strategic partnerships. Closer integration with other applications, including the leading desktop reader and the leading weblog publishing systems, will significantly enhance the RSS experience for consumers and enterprises, and our arrangement with Moreover strengthens our content offerings as well. Combined, these arrangements signify our ongoing investment as the leader in the RSS platform space to ensure that this technology penetrates as rapidly as possible."

Such drives are commonly used in digital music players and sub-notebook computers. The new drive offers a 50-percent improvement in storage space over Toshiba's current highest capacity 1.8-inch hard-disk drive yet manages this without being physically larger. The major factor that contributed to this increase was an advancement made in a thin-film technology used for both the head and platter, said Midori Suzuki, a spokeswoman for Toshiba in Tokyo.

Memory Reading Hard Drive 06/30/2004 12:37 PM

The Vosonic X'S-Drive Pro VP 300 is 40GB external hard drive that is clunky, cheap-looking, has a crappy text-only integrated screen, plays MP3s, but not WMA, AAC, or OGG Vorbis, and can only read from one card from its card reader at a time. So why would any photographer want it? Because it's cheap, it does the primary job it was designed to do (act as remote backup for memory cards), and can accept as many additional 2.5-inch laptop hard drives as you want to swap into it, meaning that all other things aside, you can purchase this single $335 drive and continue to upgrade it for only the price of additional hard drives.

Region-free-ify your Mac's DVD drive 12/15/2003 12:59 PM
Here's a firmware update that can region-free-ify and speed up your Mac's Superdrive DVD drive. Warning: may screw up your computer ferociously. Warning: may violate the DMCA. Warning: It's your goddamned computer, why the hell hasn't Apple given you the capability of watching all your DVDs on it, no matter what country you bought them in? Link (Thanks, Pat!)

Apple restricting DVD region-changes --
voluntarily! -- UPDATED

Apple restricting DVD region-changes --
voluntarily! -- UPDATED 02/01/2005 08:37 PM
Cory Doctorow: Apple's DVD players are subject to restrictive rules laid out by greedy Hollywood studios that don't really care if they piss off Apple's customers, since that's Apple's lookout. However, I've just discovered, to my amazement, that Apple imposes its very own restrictions on its DVD players over and above those imposed by the studios: that's right, Apple voluntarily treats its customers worse than the studios say it has to.

In the crazy world of DRM for DVDs, there's this idea that a Hollywood studio should be able to tell you where you're allowed to watch a DVD after you buy it. They accomplish this with something called "Region Codes." Discs have region-codes and players have region-codes. If you have a Region 1 disc (US and Canada) and a Region 2 player (Europe), and you put the disc in the player, the player will reject it.

But what happens when you take your laptop from New York to London? You're in Region 2, but you bought your device in Region 1. Can you buy a disc in London and play it on your computer?

Yes and no. When a computer manufacturer gets a DVD-decoding license from Hollywood's licensing cartel (the DVD Copy Control Association or CCA), it is allowed to make players that can change regions up to five times.

What's more, once the region-switches have run out, computer companies can reset your counter at a service depot a further five times. That means that you get 25 region-switches. This sucks pretty bad: I moved from San Francisco to London with hundreds of Region 1 DVDs and now when I buy a movie in the shop, it's Region 2. That means that if I watch a movie from my US collection once a week, and once from my UK connection the next week, I'll run out of region switches in three months. Three months after moving to the UK, I'll have to throw out half my DVDs.

So, basically, I don't watch my DVDs. Sometimes, though, I'm weak, and I tune into one and squander one of my precious region switches. Now my nearly-new Powerbook has only one switch left out of its initial five, and so I brought it to Apple to get them to reset the counter. It needed service anyway (I'm on my fifth or sixth screen replacement for the defect in the 15" machines that causes the "white blobs" to obscure the display), so it seemed like a good time to do it.

I know that Apple is allowed to do this. How do I know? Well, when EFF went to the Copyright Office and asked it to give us an exemption to the DMCA to make tools for watching out-of-region DVDs, Time-Warner showed up and told us this:

"And, the way it works, and I apologize because it's a little bit complicated, the consumer can set it five times. After the fifth time that they've reset it, they do have an ability to reset it again, but they have to bring the drive to an authorized dealer or an authorized service representative, who can then authorize an additional set of five changes, and then they can bring it back for a second, for a third, fourth and fifth set of authorized changes. So you can change it 25 times in total, but you have to go back for each set of five. You only get the first five when you buy the ROM drive itself."

That was Dean Marks, from AOL Time Warner. Straight from the horse's mouth, testifying to the US government.

But when my Powerbook was ready for pickup, Apple left me a voicemail saying that they couldn't reset my DVD player, that doing so would void my warranty.

When I went into the Apple Store in London to get the machine, I asked about it. I wanted this in writing: if they had a policy that said that they couldn't fix my region-counter, I wanted to be able to tell Dean Marks about it the next time we went to the Copyright Office and ask him why Apple thought it couldn't reset my counter.

Apple refused to put it into writing. They refused to let me record them telling me they couldn't fix my Powerbook. They wouldn't even put in writing that they were referring me to the legal department. Eventually I spoke to the manager, who promised to get back to me the next day.

The next day, he did. He told me that he'd spoken to legal and that they wouldn't put anything in writing. However, they did have some documents on their website they printed for me that talk about DVDs.

1. DVD Player: About DVD-Video Regions, last modified July 16, 2004, technical contributor J Scalo. This document describes the different regions, saying that after five region-switches, "the drive is permanently set to use that region, and you cannot make any more changes."

   Interestingly, this also contains something labeled APPLE EYES ONLY that says that

   On Wallstreet and PDQ (PowerBook G3 Series M4753), the number of region code changes remaining is not stored in the firmware of the DVD drive but rather in the DVD extension and NVRAM. This information should absolutely not be conveyed to the customer.

   In extreme customer satisfaction situations you can reset the region change count by following this procedure:

   1. Reset PRAM/NVRAM by pressing Fn-Ctrl-Shift-Power while the computer is turned off
   2. Startup with system extensions off.
   3. Restart with system extensions on.

   Note: This procedure resets some of the customer's custom settings.

   After following this procedure, the region change count for the drive is reset to five.

   In later PowerBook models, the region count is stored in the firmware of the drive and cannot be reset with this procedure.

2. Changing the region code of your DVD drive, last modified on January 23, 2004. This document says that you can only change your region code five times. "After that, the region code is set permanently and you cannot change it."

So there's two things going on here that I'm pretty pissed off about:

1. The studios have screwed the electronics companies with this region code business and I have to throw out my DVDs or buy an extra Powerbook or something
2. Worse, though: Apple has a policy about region-changing that is more restrictive than it has to be: they're playing for the other side. This really stinks and makes me wonder why I should keep on buying Apple hardware.

Lots of Apple execs read Boing Boing. If you have a reply on this, email me and I'll be happy to discuss it with you.

Update: Many of you have written to point out that VLC plays out of region DVDs on a Powerbook. That's nice, but it doesn't work reliably on my Powerbook.

Update 2: Thanks for all the tips on how to hack my Powerbook or change its firmware. I'm afraid that I'm not in the market for this, though, tempting as it is, as I've been informed that using these tools will void my warranty.
