The picture from inside hospitals is very different. .< 4:36:13 PM  >Apple releases iTunes 4, QT 6.2, iPod Update 1.3 With the introduction of its new iPod models and iTunes Music Service, Apple has also released iTunes 4. What's more, QuickTime has been updated, as has a new software update for owners of older iPods. [MacCentral] .< 4:35:39 PM >Brave New World of Web Services What will the Web look like in 10 years? As rich Internet applications evolve, developers work on powerful new tools that could transform the online world. Leander Kahney reports from Santa Clara, California. [Wired News] .< 4:33:50 PM >The Register - Apple launches 99c a song music service 'Quality encoding, album art, exclusive material, reliable downloads, fast and accurate searching through iTunes, unlimited CD burning and unlimited transfer to iPods are what Apple reckons will persuade users to ditch the likes of Kazaa in favour of the Apple service. Crucially, though it's betting punters will be willing to pay 99c rather than go through the hoops they sometimes have to crawl to get songs for free.' .< 2:48:40 PM >InfoWorld: Are you ready for RSS?... InfoWorld: Are you ready for RSS? This is the second publication that has recently given me (appropriate) co-invention credit for RSS. Thanks. [Scripting News] .< 2:46:57 PM >Apple: Today's announcements Apple today announced its new iPods, with a new dock for the top two models and AAC (MPEG-4) support. iTunes 4, available today, supports streaming of music over TCP/IP, as well as Rendezvous networking, and gives you access to the new "iTunes Music Store", where Apple sells music for 99 cents per song.

[Guardian Unlimited] 'The WHO, which is leading international efforts to contain the spread of the potentially lethal virus, is now saying that it may reconsider its decision, and this represents a shift in policy.' .< 10:55:12 AM >Weblogs are the Killer App... Weblogs are the Killer App The Times reports that Slate is making money. Great. But the Times article is still trapped in old-media thinking. When it says, "...Slate — along with Salon, another online magazine — managed to prove that the Web was a viable publishing medium...." it is equating "publishing" with "corporate magazine-format publishing." And when it talks about Slate's failure to find a "killer app" (how '90s!) for online journalism -- "Slate was hardly the bold 2.0 version of journalism promised by its founders" -- it ignores the fact that weblogs are the bold 2.0 version of journalism. The killer app in online journalism is the people who are freed to produce it. ** [EdCone.com].< 1:10:10 AM >La Scena Musicale Online / La Scena Musicale enligne '"Better?" Mallon asked.
