The Week in Tech - 07/18/05
--Online video has been the topic of choice in the past week. A persistent rumor about an upcoming Apple video iPod appears to be true. CBS News will offer a 24-hour news network over broadband. And AOL followed its phenomenal Live 8 success with the announcement of Network Live, a joint entertainment venture. Television and film have ever-so-slowly migrated to the Web over the years; what's the final destination? Will the TV set in the family room eventually become obsolete?
--This little gem received big attention in the blogosphere last week, if only for one day, and got me thinking about the bigger issue at hand. Vodafone published a survey in the UK focused on women and mobile phones, with the conclusion that (gasp) women are informed users who know what they want. Oh, and they don't go for "pretty pink phones with sparkly bits on." What got me thinking - does a gender divide exist in technology or did that line disappear years ago? Apple doesn't create two separate campaigns for male and female iPod users - should they?
--Record labels are growing ruthless in the download fight. An Australian man was found guilty of copyright infringement, as was his ISP. The kicker? He merely hyperlinked to recordings on other sites and had nothing to do with hosting the files. This could easily get out of hand: the blogging community would suffer immensely if hyperlinking becomes a crime.
