iTunes is the master of its domain when it comes to digital
music distribution and Apple is even breaking into online distribution
of podcasts, music videos, TV show and movies. But there's a
virtually untapped new market on the horizon for Apple's venerable
music distribution platform: magazines and books.
Apple has the potential to shake up the printed magazine
and book market just like they did with music and now television
and movies. It's good news for trees but bad news for some ivory
tower-type fat cat print executives.

class-action status. It alleges that Apple violates antitrust
laws by refusing to allow music bought in its iTunes store to

01/04/2007 Music Industry Changes Tune
An article in the Wall Street Journal explains that the
music industry is looking at licensing podsafe music:
Licensing music for podcasting has long been a source of
internal debate at music labels. Many executives argue that
it is worth handing over some content to spur consumer interest,
while others maintain that the companies erode the value of
their product by knowingly allowing it to be freely downloaded
and copied.
Ted Cohen, a digital-media strategist who for many years
was an executive at EMI Group PLC, says that keeping up-and-coming
artists "protected" from use in podcasts has often backfired.
"We've protected them so well nobody knows they exist," he quips.

01/02/2007 2006 Reflections, 2007 Predictions
For the most part in 2006, the world escaped Natures wrath,
but people were far less kind to their neighbors. 2006 is scarred
not by the winds and oceans but by political turmoil across
the globe. The Middle East quagmire is the epitome of how wrong
things can go, with the war in Lebanon, infighting in Palestine,
Iran's nuclear ambitions, and Iraq's sectarian violence the
deepest scars of 2006 were self inflicted with man being his
own enemy. Of course, the Middle East is not alone with it's
own self-destruction. Genocide in Chad and Sudan show how truly
intolerant the human race really is. North Korea's impatience
and nuclear activity have disrupted Asia. In fact, few areas
of the world were left unscathed by man's ambitions in 2006.
Again technology has brought the tragedies of war and the personal
stories of families from the farthest corners of the earth,
to the door steps of the west. Citizen journalism and Internet
propagation has added a complex layer to the stories. The growth
of YouTube, Blogs, Podcasting and RSS have personalized the
media and given listeners and watchers a personal connection
to the reports.
Technology has not only revolutionized news and how it is viewed,
interactive technology is shaping the news.
