In the Magazine: Where Music Will Be Coming From [NyTimes - Technology]An interesting article on music and technology, how the latter influences the former, and where they are headed. Worth the read for a few good thoughts. But I have to say that for all his interesting conjecturing, the author seems rather naive about some aspects of music . . . and of technology.

Oh and tomorrow, I'm going to unveil a new open architecture for Radio's aggregator, driver-based, like upstreaming, making it possible to plug-in new XML formats. [Scripting News] Go Dave!

Microsoft should be punished. The feds failed to order a breakup when it could have done some good. Now, based on the government's findings, Sun, Netscape and Be are suing -- with good reason. [Salon.com] 'Microsoft has for years now used its monopoly power to quash competitors and promote its own products. Its stranglehold has sapped innovation from the industry and robbed consumers of the benefits of a competitive market. Indeed, Netscape's business has been nearly eviscerated by Microsoft's actions. Sun's Java, an exciting technology that has survived thus far, may nonetheless meet a similarly dire fate at the hands of Microsoft's just-launched .Net.'
