iTunes Affiliates

iTunes Affiliates 09/10/2004 05:14 AM
I have to say I’m a tad underwhelmed by the iTunes Affiliate Scheme. This site got turned down for one of the following reasons :

• The content is unrelated to iTunes
• Your site is temporarily down or under construction.
• A wrong or misspelled URL given in the application.
• Your site is aesthetically unpleasing
• Your site promotes tobacco, alcohol or excessive drinking/drug use
• Your site contains extreme religious content
• Your site is international (with a majority of visitors based OUTSIDE the US)

I’m pretty sure this site fails on the last one (hopefully no-one considers this site to be ‘aesthetically unpleasing’ or my writing to induce ‘excessive drug use’). This is a real bummer for those of us outside the US (yep, we don’t all live in America). If there’s one thing that really bugs me about Apple, it’s the blinkers they have when it comes to the rest of the world. It took us long enough to get the iTunes Music Store here in Europe… Anyway, despite the whole non-US thing, the scheme appears to be run by a third party organisation called the LinkShare network. Immediately this is a disappointment as I was expecting the scheme to run within the Apple website (possibly using your Apple ID or .Mac account). I wouldn’t think it’d be too difficult to get some web development people on the case at Apple. After all, Amazon and Google manage to offer nicely integrated affiliate schemes. Once an account has been created (after negotiating a horrendous form on the Apple website), you are sent a barrage of confusing e-mails eventually directing you to the LinkShare website. The e-mails encourage you to join up to Apple iTunes via LinkShare and create your links using their system. After bombing out fairly early I didn’t get the chance the sign up and create some links, so I’d be interested to hear from others who have managed this successfully (I have a feeling the process is not as easy as it should be). I was looking forward to getting some iTunes links on this site (if only to make a few bob on my own purchases), but I’m left feeling disappointed by the whole process. The current LinkShare-powered system only serves to discourage site owners from becoming affiliates — a situation obviously at odds with Apple’s intentions.

Bogus Diet Patch Company Gets Away By
Blaming Affiliates

Bogus Diet Patch Company Gets Away By
Blaming Affiliates 04/01/2005 10:40 PM
The FTC has apparently decided to settle with a company that was pitching bogus diet patches online. They gave them a small fine, but it's for much less than the total amount they made off the stuff. There appear to be two claims here: one was that they violated CAN SPAM, and the second was that they violated the FTC Act since the patches didn't actually do anything. However, from the sound of the settlement, it appears that the company tap danced its way out of the spamming charge by pointing out that the FTC couldn't prove they did the spamming, since they had "affiliates" do the spamming for them. It appears the FTC has realized that the company was right. Despite the fact that the company was probably pushing others to do the spamming for it, if they didn't do the actual spamming, should they be held liable for spamming? Of course, there's also the followup. If they know it was the affiliates, then why not go after those affiliates as well? That should scare off some of these spammers from signing up for affiliate programs.

Windows Media Player 10 Technical Demo

CNet, among other places, is reporting that Microsoft is releasing a beta version of Windows Media Player 10 for public testing. Although leaked copies of the software have been available for the last week or so, the official release will allow everyone a chance to play with the new features, such as enhanced synchronization methods that keep some of the newer, more full-featured media players full of not only audio, but video and pictures, as well. And from this screenshot, it appears that Microsoft is adopting the Rip and Burn terminology that pretty much everyone else does. I've resisted upgrading even to 9, so far, and will probably refrain from 10, as well. I only use it to play movies, and I'm finding myself using Media Player Classic more and more.

So What If Windows Code Has Been Leaked?

So What If Windows Code Has Been Leaked? 02/12/2004 10:22 PM
If you've been reading the various techie sites this afternoon, you've surely seen the rumors that source code from Windows NT and Windows 2000 have leaked onto the internet. Am I the only one who don't think this is that big of a deal? My only surprise is that it didn't happen sooner. As for the direct impact, if true, I imagine it would be small. People are still going to buy Windows. There already are illegal copies on the market, and the company is doing just fine. However, the indirect impact, could be a big deal. Ed Felten points out that, if anything, this has all the downsides of open source software, without the upsides. That is, anyone with bad intent can hunt through the code for vulnerabilities, but they no longer have the large community ready to fix up such vulnerabilities as soon as they're discovered.

MS Source Code Illegally Leaked

MS Source Code Illegally Leaked 02/13/2004 01:24 PM

Microsoft came out and admitted yesterday that portions of the source code for Windows NT and Windows 2000 had been made available on the Internet.

They're not sure just yet who is at fault — source code is made available to third-party vendors for development purposes, but those developers are sworn to secrecy, but somebody hosed the program. MS is not yet sure just how serious the breach is.

In an article on The Register, John Lettice comments that...

The impact of the leak is however massively more important for Microsoft than it is for the rest of the world, as it effectively blows the company's 'security via obscurity' approach to smithereens. Over the past year or so it has, with much pomp and ceremony, unveiled its shared source programme as a counter to open source, while in the same period it has repeatedly stressed that it cannot disclose some aspects of its code to rivals for security reasons. If they could see it, it would leak, and then evil terrorists would be able to break into Windows more easily. Microsoft, incidentally, currently has the shared source web site as a 'related link' on the leak statement page. Are you entirely sure about this relationship, dahlinks?

Why Microsoft Should Open Source the Leaked Source: From the "never-gonna-happen" department, this guy says that Microsoft should just open-source the code that was leaked last week. He makes a good case, but there's no chance Bill would actually go for it.

Why not make lemonade out of lemons by doing the unthinkable: Redistribute the complete NT4 and Windows 2000 code base via either a fully OSS-certified or quasi-open-source license on the MSDN web site?

Sound crazy? Maybe. But think about the positive implications of a fully Microsoft-sanctioned complete release of this code...
