    Funny flash site about Italy and the EU

    Flash Site A rather humorous if somewhat stereotypical look at Italy and the EU. Maybe Giaguara or some of the other Italians can give us some feed back

    No iTunes Europe until 2004

    Independent article It looks like the European music industry is sort of messy, different licensing laws for each country.... Maybe this will help them get it together a little faster.

    iTunes Music Store in Europe in October

    http://mactechnews.de/ The article is in German but essentially states that they have learned from an EMI exec in Switzerland that Apple is planning on a Europe wide opening of the iTunes Music Store in October and that it will be probably launched at the same time the Windows version is. A...

    Excellent iPod/iTunes review.

    The Age article about iPod. Well written review. Touts the ability of the iPod to hold dozens of albums and the instantaneous access to them without having to search thru sweater drawers and wonder why Meat Loaf is filed next to Smetana!

    New low end Mac?

    Link The article is in French and I won't try to translate it but it essentially says that Apple is rumored to be coming out with a low end Mac ~$599. The header says "Cube or pizza box?" Supposedly it would be a G4 with a 32 bit video card and 256 mgs of ram. Veddy, veddy...

    Will the war in Iraq accelerate a worldwide military buildup?

    In the April 30th US edition of Die Zeit, a German Newspaper, Angela Markel, the opposition party leader (CDU) had this to say about Europe and the USA: That Europe is so economically weak is self-inflicted and we can't blame it on the Americans. But I have heard some interesting theories...

    Any Minitel users want to comment on it?

    The BBC has an article about the 20th anniversary of Minitel. It was supposedly started as a way for French Telecom to save money on printing phone directories and ballooned into a predecessor of the internet and remains popular today. It would be interesting to hear what its like to use...

    Where are Iraq's WMD?

    1. There aren't any. 2. They were stolen by Iraqi's, Syrians, Al Qaeda, terrorists etc. 3. They've been dumped in rivers, buried in the desert, hidden. 4. Other? I don't mean to start a flame war, I'm just interested in what people think. So far the most likely sites have been...

    Hey, when are we gonna see the AMS top 40?

    I think it would be cool to see a chart listing Apple's best sellers. It would, I'm sure be radically different than mainstream charts but it would still be interesting to see.

    Apple Store selling "Finding Nemo"

    Nothing all that exciting unless you have one of the under 10 agegroup under your roof but significant in that Apple, as far as I know has never carried a video before. Of course, it was made by Pixar and that explains why it is for sale at the Apple Store. But, well, why? Is Apple...

    iTunes: Requests and Feedback

    It seems that a lot of people are upset about iTunes content or lack there of. I've already sent in 4 requests via the request and feedback form to be found in the upper left hand corner. Just like the bug form in Safari, Apple wants to hear what we want. I'm sure that in a lot of cases the...

    What the media has to say.

    Here are a couple of articles that make for very interesting reading. The Slate article is amazingly quite upbeat, the Fortune article is indepth and good. http://slate.msn.com/id/2082157/ http://www.fortune.com/fortune/technology/articles/0,15114,447333,00.html I read about 20 different...

    Peer to Peer file sharing software declared legal

    http://news.com.com/2100-1027-998363.html An interesting development in the whole mess. I totally agree with the judge. If P2P software were to be banned totally then it would essentially say that you could not share a song with a friend. Granted, if you start sharing 10,000 songs with a...

    Apple's non-US sales

    Somewhere today I read that 1st quarter 2003, Apple stated that 47% of gross revenue came from outside the US. I couldn't find the article again and can't seem to find any info at Apple's website. Does anyone know what Apple sales are by country? I had no idea that Apple's overseas revenue...

    iMac G3 to G4 upgrade

    As found on Mac NN http://www.technowarehousellc.com/g4upforslloi.html for older iMacs the upgrade is $300, available in the US only. You have to send in the motherboard and you get it back in 10 days. Hmmm, I'm wondering if this is worth it or not?

    Apple privacy policies?

    We've all heard about the Evil Empire's murky privacy policies, but what about Apple? Supposedly WMV sends a message to M$ telling them what DVD you've watched, and of course Hotmail is pretty suspect. Does anyone have any info?
