More Facebook but problems abound. - 26 Jul 2007
I have been resisting the desire to toss my hat into the recent facebook debates happening among the tech reporters and commentators (like myself) for a week or two now. Between the Apple iPhone and Facebook postings I have really had my fill of the two but after some careful consideration I wanted to […]
Read Full Post »DRM Restricts rights of fair use and fair dealing. - 03 May 2007
In talking about my most recent postings about DRM, the DMCA, and their effects on intellectual property I started to consider why the MPAA and RIAA are so determined to force these kind of restrictions upon consumers.
The argument most often put forward by those organizations is that they need to protect the intellectual property of […]
Puretracks fails again - 01 May 2007
I have previously blogged about Purtracks.com a Canadian online music store that does not support Apples Macintosh computers. Well their saga of being closely tied to the windows platform and not meeting customers needs continues on.
I recently attended the local theater to catch a flick where I was given a promotion card for 3 […]
New and improved Facebook - 11 Apr 2007
Facebook has introduced its new look and what a pleasant update! I just happened to be online last night around the time the change went down and ended up spending a few hours online checking out the new Networks pages (one for each network you belong), the revamped navigation, and the updated Inbox which […]

In my final statement about the situation faced by social community site Blue Kaffee, I am glad to see they moved to using Google ad’s.

Social community site Blue Kaffee is in trouble. Earlier this week I noticed the sites webmaster Chad Levesque has posted a message stating that site needed to raise $2000 by 10:00 NST Monday March 26 2007. Failure to do so could see the site go down for an undetermined amount of time. […]

I have been thinking about what makes Facebook so addictive. Why is it I, and many others, come back to this site day and day again. Why is Facebook enjoying more success than HI5, WAYN, Classmates.com, or any other social networking site ever did.
What really started me thinking about this was […]
The Gorb allows you to rate others. - 13 Mar 2007
When I first heard the name I thought… “What is a gorb” but I quickly found out what it was. The Gorb is a rating system for online identities. It follows in the trend of Ebay’s famous seller rating system that allows you to give feed back and help generate an overall score […]

I was a fan of Puretracks approach to DRM but after seeing this I will have trouble supporting them further.
The Apple iPod is the largest selling portable music device, and arguable the most successful. With this in mind it boggling that a major store would not want or have their tracks […]
