Now That's What I Call "iTunes"! Via Boing Boing Blog: The LA Times is breaking a story that's been making the rounds on a few Apple Rumor sites...Apple will launch a "legit" music downloading service just for Macs and iPods.  This is very exciting. "This is exactly what the music industry has been waiting for," said one person familiar with the negotiations between the Cupertino computer maker and the labels. "It's hip. It's quick. It's easy. If people on the Internet are actually interested in buying music, not just stealing it, this is the answer.'' That last sentence describes me to a tee. I hope that "person familiar..." is right. 2:14:42 PM    comment [] Can Your EMR Be Googled? Google has become so effective at finding stuff on the web that it has actaully crawled it's way into databases that should not have ever been exposed to the public. In this Wired story, read every hospital and medical practice's IT nightmare come to life as Drexel University winds up with 5,500 medical records publicly available online.   8:50:56 AM    comment [] Have a Coke and a Fully Checked up and Flouridated Smile You just can't make this stuff up...According to this article in the New York Times, the American Acadamy of Pediatric Dentistry is accepting $1 Million from the Coca Cola Foundation and Coke has agreed to "distribute the acadamy's education messages." "There is such an important message our organization is trying to get to the public and Coke has an exceptional reach to consumers and the opportunity is there to help us reach them," Dr. David Curtis, president of the academy, said. For the first time since I've started this blog....I'm left speechless. 8:41:14 AM    comment []
