January 5, 2007 | Comments

The decision has been made by Nick at Performancing

decision. Nick is a great guy and I wish [...]

January 4, 2007 | Comments
There is some speculation over on digg that iTunes might get lyrics downloads in its next update. Gracenotes, which already supplies the data for iTunes CD database (and covers?) has added lyrics from Warner, EMI and other publishers to its catalog.
Is this going to be announced at MacWorld? Maybe integrated into some new iPods?

Daylife: A Quick Review
January 4, 2007 | Comments
Mike Arrington rips into Daylife today in his review on TechCrunch, even though he has made an investment into the company. I almost wonder if he is so negative because he has been accused of favoritism one time too many. Jeff Jarvis, also involved with the company, has a more even-handed review. Liz Gannes of [...]

The Enchanted Office
January 3, 2007 | Comments
I have been a fan of the new MS Office interface from the beginning, so it is nice to see that in the run-up to the consumer launch of Office 2007, Microsoft is getting it’s game together and has infused the Office 2007 advertising campaign with some humor.
Classic quotes: “The Ribbon brought the sexy back, [...]

January 3, 2007 | Comments
The Financial Times features a rather sensationalist headline about the plans of Plastic Logic today: Plastic may spell the end of the silicon microchip:
By using a cheap and simple set of processing operations to build up layers of circuitry on plastic “substrates” – the material on which circuits are formed – rather than silicon wafers [...]

Adam Curry’s Predictions for 2007 are mostly BS
January 1, 2007 | Comments
I am just reading Adam Curry’s predictions for the media industry in 2007. Mostly, they are wrong, I think. I can’t help but think that Curry is living in a bubble where podcasting and IPTV actually matter. Newsflash - they don’t. Real people don’t care yet and won’t care in 2007.
