Downloading music changes home furnishings

Posted at 3:49pm on Wednesday, November 26th, 2003

“Five years ago, about a quarter of a million hi-fis were sold across America. This year, it will be less than a tenth that number.”

The article goes on to talk about the effect that downloading has on the concept of the album - is there any requirement to release 10 tracks in a package if people are only ever purchasing single tracks to make their own compilations? Really well worth a read.

RFID for everything (and 100Mbps to the home)

Posted at 3:37pm on Wednesday, November 26th, 2003

Article at silicon.com:

Holway outlined a home of the future where everyone has a 100MB broadband pipe and wireless RFID tracking tags are used for automatically adding food items to shopping lists when they have been used and checking no dark clothes are hiding in the white wash.

Isn’t that what I’ve been telling you? :-)

Pride and Grief for Sale

Posted at 9:02am on Wednesday, November 26th, 2003

What blogs are good for. One American’s view of September 11th and its aftermath:

“Eventually they started to show up everywhere. Billboards. Flags the size of a football field on the side of a building. Transparent flags in the windows of cars. Full pages of Newspapers. Tattoos.”
