NSI also contends that broadly releasing the database would create privacy concerns and could lead to an increase in unscrupulous Internet merchants sending out millions of unsolicited e-mail messages.
Doesn't NSI already sell the database information to marketers? If this is the case, does this mean that they're more worried about competition for spammers' money than they are about registrants' privacy? If this isn't the case, then nevermind.
So if QuickTime 4 will only stream MP3s from OS X (or FreeBSD, as someone mentioned) and MacAMP won't sream from anything, is there any way to stream MP3s from a Windows machine to a Mac?
On a somewhat related note, does it bother anyone else that ZDNet loads individual links for every comment along with the story? Couldn't they use a Slashdot-esque "read more..." link instead? I mean, if it's the kind of news (i.e. anything about MP3s, net censorship or Microsoft) that prompts a slew of knee-jerk reactions, then the page loads on geological time. And if you try to second guess it and stop the page from loading, hoping you've only cut off the comments, half of the time you end up without anything except the latest banner from Intel, claiming that the PIII makes the Internet faster.
Maybe the author meant "formally announced" instead of "launched."
According to PSM:
Sony Computer Entertainment publicly unveiled the technology [PlayStation 2] on March 2, 1999 at the PlayStation Meeting '99 in Tokyo, Japan. It was unveiled to developers and press from all around the world.
