I'm having trouble getting to my Radio desktop remotely this morning, so in the hopes that this one goes through, here's a bulk post:
- Macromedia Blogs and the Death of the 'Official Story' - "Whether Macromedia knows it or not, what it's done is merely institutionalize a trend that's been building up in the consumer landscape for years, a trend that many commercial advertisers are loathe to address: that the Internet now makes it virtually impossible to create a unified "image" consumers will swallow. Sure, you can still create "brands" people can identify, but now, if that finely crafted brand image doesn't match reality, you're gonna be found out."
- Qwest Pulls the Cord on CEO Nacchio - "Open season on high-profile CEOs continued Monday with news that Joseph Nacchio was ousted as chief executive of Qwest and replaced by Tellabs CEO and former Ameritech chief Richard C. Notebaert." [Doc and Buzz should find this of interest!]
- You can now buy John Dean's ebook Unmasking Deep Throat from Salon. Can libraries buy and circulate it? I'm going to guess the technology says yes but the licensing says no. More if I get an email back from them. (Since they never responded to my question about library subscriptions to Salon, I'm not holding my breath.)
- Yamaha DiscT@2 Laser Drawing System - "The CRW-F1 is the first CD-RW recorder to offer the revolutionary DiscT@2TM Laser Labeling System, which allows graphics and text to be burnt onto CD-R disc, eliminating the need for labels. Customers can put graphics, such as signatures, logos, memorandums, and photo images onto CD-R's unused area after data writing. This unique feature will certainly enhance the CD-R recording experience for many users." [via MetaFilter]
- Roger Ebert loves the movie Minority Report - In his review, he discusses some of the technological concepts of the story and how Spielberg visualizes them. (I'll try to quote them later tonight.) I can't wait to see it! [Chicago Sun-Times, via MetaFilter]
