I’m a bit late with this,

April 2, 2007 by Michael Boyle

I’m a bit late with this,

but I’m going to chime in with my congratulations to Dave Winer for achieving a remarkable benchmark: A decade of Scripting News. With Scripting News (among very few others), we saw the transformation of the “often-updated personal website” become something quite different. “Often” and “every day, several times” are, on the web, radically different things. Congratulations!

The word went out yesterday

April 2, 2007 by Michael Boyle

The word went out yesterday

about a big Apple-related event at EMI Music this morning, and without more advance notice than that, we found out today that EMI Music will be selling DRM-free superior sound quality downloads across its entire digital repertoire, starting in May. I doubted that Apple would ever sell DRM-free music alongside regular, but it’s obvious now that the two-fer – no DRM and improved sound quality – sets a high enough bar for Apple to do this in ITMS. I suppose it’s important that the distinction be greater than just DRM/No-DRM (or price).

Howard Rheingold:

online safe havens for hate speech are irresponsible. I don’t have much more to add about the whole storm that has been going around in the past day or so, except to also point (as Howard did as well) to Ross Mayfield’s contribution on the subject.
