03/23/2005 12:46 AMIt's turning into quite a week for deals to be announced.
Yahoo
buys Flickr,
Barry
Diller buys Ask Jeeves and
HP
buys Snapfish. Next up, is
Topix.net... which hasn't fully been
bought out, but close enough. The news aggregation site (which we
helped
annou
nce back when it launched) has
carved
itself up and sold off 25% each to three big newspaper players:
Knight Ridder, Gannett and the Tribune Media Company. The folks at
Topix.net keep the remaining 25%. It's sort of halfway between
flipping the business and raising money (and the VCs were definitely
circling and definitely interested). Topix.net remains an independent
company (in fact, being own in equal parts by three competitors should
help guarantee that). However, what's interesting is that, in the
wake of many news organizations showing just how much they
don't
get the internet, here are three who appear to be making a real
effort to adapt to the changes in the media world. Topix.net has
always been based on the model of taking away ad revenue from local
papers -- and this deal acts as a way for those papers to get further
involved in cannibalizing their own print revenue, should it come to
that (rather than just letting Topix.net cannibalize it all by
themselves). The more interesting question may be how other news
organizations respond. The backwards thinking ones may fear "helping
the competition" and pull an AFP and "opt-out" of Topix.net's crawl.
Topix.net CEO Rich Skrenta doesn't think it will be a problem, noting:
"For other publishers in our crawl, this deal will serve to drive them
even more traffic than they're getting from us and our partners now.
If a site has a functioning online business model, it should want more
traffic and more distribution. If more online audience yields more
revenue, you don't want less places linking to you." Of course, you
could make the same argument about AFP -- but hopefully not all news
organizations are so brain dead.

Intel adds bolts for Microsoft's chains
Intel adds bolts for Microsoft's chains
06/05/2005 11:10 PMIntel apparently has added "Microsoft-flavored" DRM to its Pentium D
and 945 chipset. Hannibal at ArsTechnica guesses: From what I can
tell, DTCP is essentially a protocol that sits on top of TCP/IP and
provides DRM by ensuring that both endpoints in an IP connection are
trusted before transmitted protected content. I imagine that Intel's
DTCP support is some kind of hardware-level means of enabling the
strict enforcement of this endpoint authentication in software. As to
what specific form this enablement takes, only further digging on our
part and more revelations from Intel will tell. This would,
apparently, prevent unwanted...
