Posted by Comments Off on Apple should embrace RealNetwork's move
Even Apple, whom Noise applauds as “bringing the music industry into the 21st century” doesn't get it sometimes. And with the company “stunned” and considering legal action” against RealNetworks for faciliating the transfer of songs bought from RealNetworks to the iPod they exhibit a dinosaur mentality that has bit them in the ass before.
It was the the decision to cling to the “proprietary” fallacy against IBM's strategy of opening their architecture to clones that gave away the PC market on a silver platter, and they're doing their damndest to screw it up again now.
Apple doesn't see the value RealNetworks brings to the iPod and doesn't understand how backwards they are in their reaction to this. You'd figure they would have learned by now but they seem determined to build a betamax music player.

Yes, the long awaited debut CD is almost ready. It's true you can download the music from this website already anyway, proceeds from the sale of the CD will go towards producing more of that tPH music!

Putting together the new tPH website and looking up info on how to do that “internet radio” thang. I haven't really paid much attention to that before (surprisingly) and I stumble across live365.com I recognize the name because they're an easyDNS client. Aside from being a super high volume domain (in terms of DNS queries) I didn't know too much about them.
Now that I look they are very cool It's just one more of a steady stream of examples to how large the world is and how little I know about it by contrast. How could I have missed this for so long? Incredible. I am after all, supposed to be up on this sort of thing.
Well here we are. I'm listening to Pwrgrrl's Punk45 radio stream. Lotsa punk classics to wind out my day before the weekend.
