07/26/2007 iPhone Numbers Disappoint
AT&T Inc. wiped some of the glow off Apple iPhone on
Tuesday, releasing numbers that showed fewer people than expected
signed up for service in the first two days of the multimedia
cell phone's release.
AT&T — the iPhone exclusive carrier — said it activated
146,000 iPhones on June 29 and 30, a number that disappointed
investors following some analyst forecasts that Apple would
sell 500,000 or more iPhones in its first weekend.

07/24/2007 iPhone Security Issues
Hackers could take control of an iPhone if its owner visits
a doctored Web site or Internet hotspot, security researchers
reported Monday.
The vulnerability of the vaunted device, Apple Inc first cell
phone, is only theoretical for now. There are no reports of
criminals actually taking advantage of the security glitch to
remotely access an iPhone.
But if it were exploited, hijacked iPhones could be very useful
to the same gangs that take over personal computers and use
them to disseminate spam, said Charlie Miller, principal security
analyst at Independent Security Evaluators, which discovered
the flaw.

07/19/2007 Podcasting Real Estate - NYTimes
House and apartment listings that are read aloud so they
can be loaded onto an iPod player for the morning commute; video
tours of faraway villas, accessible with the click of a mouse.
Video and audio file-sharing, technologies already so popular
for entertainment and communications, are giving real estate
buyers and sellers a variety of new tools for finding and marketing
properties.
It is in American real estate that the sharing of audio and
video files over the Internet has caught on most quickly —
with video tours of homes now widely available — but property
markets in the rest of the world also are beginning to embrace
the idea.
The popularity of the Apple iPod and other digital media players
now has consumers comfortable with the idea of carrying their
favorite audio — and, more recently, video — selections
wherever they go. At the same time, the growth of Web sites
like YouTube and of Internet podcasts of radio, television and
online content has made uploading and downloading files routine
for many people.

07/10/2007 Lawyers Use RSS and Podcasting
Lawyers have never been known as a technical bunch, but
more and more often you see a lawyer with a palm pilot making
appointments and a blackberry for those urgent messages. Electronic
gadgets are now common in the courthouses across the US. Lawyers
have increased productivity by utilizing technology so it should
come as no surprise that lawyers are using RSS feeds as a means
to grow and manage their practices.

07/09/2007 Web Access is Achilles Heel for iPhone
Complaints about the speed of the network that Apples new
iPhone connects to points to the need for a new broadband wireless
network in the U.S.
The iPhone uses ATTs EDGE network, which ATT says averages speeds
of 100 kilobits to 150 kilobits per second. But one review in
the Wall Street Journal called the network pokey, and
a review in the New York Times called the network excruciatingly
slow, saying users may almost ache for a dial-up modem. |
07/09/2007 iPhone Hack Publicized
Hacker Jon Lech Johansen, known widely as DVD Jon,
has cracked Apples iPhone activation, or so he claims, meaning
that iPhone buyers will be able to activate and use the new
handset without having to commit to an AT&T wireless contract.
Johansen announced his feat in a blog post entitled iPhone
Independence Day.
The Norwegian cracker initially made a name for himself eight
years ago when he cracked the encryption code on DVDs. And last
year, he cracked the digital rights management code that prevents
iPod users from playing songs purchased from competing online
music stores.

06/27/2007 What is Podsafe Music
Detailed article about Podsafe Music.
The licensor of any podsafe work must be legally capable
of making it so. An artist cannot distribute his or her own
work through a podsafe license if doing so would break any laws
or breach any standing agreements (e.g. with the RIAA). The
creator of a derivative work may also not claim this work podsafe
without express permission from the original copyright holders.
(PMN has more specific and stringent terms to this effect in
its agreement.) Another point of contention is that not all
podcasts are non-commercial works; in fact, an increasing number
of podcasts are taking on sponsors and looking to make a profit.
In general, no significant distinction is yet made between podsafe
for non-commercial use and podsafe for commercial use, but it
could easily arise at any moment. |
