They're keeping all artist's money that have less than $25 in their account at closing. They'll claim that this is because of the administrative costs in paying this money out, but are they going to carry this credit forward into the new system?
MP3.com will perform a final artist accounting and check distribution on or around December 1, 2003. Any artist account with a balance of at least $25.00 will qualify to receive a payment in the final artist accounting (reduced from the usual requirement of $50.00).
Rather like Superman II, I bet all these small bits of money add up to a considerable sum...
This is a capability of the.NET framework. It has nothing to do with the next version of Windows.
It isn't really DLLs either, but rather.NET assemblies..NET assemblies are the equivalent of DLLs for the.NET system, but this won't solve the problem of "DLL hell" unless all applications are re-written in.NET.
This is a great feature of.NET, but this article is just the Microsoft PR/marketing machine, and is nothing new technically.
Why don't the phone manufacturers just make it read only? Isn't that much simpler than passing a law, and in everyone's best interests?
Runs apps locally, not just a remote desktop

Wireless Monitors?

I see that it includes Media Player and Internet Explorer as well as remote desktop software. If it can combine the two intelligently, it would make a killer combination. "Big heavy" MS apps like Word/Excel/Outlook can run on a "server" machine, and as they don't have rapidly changing complex content so can probably be passed relatively efficiently over Wireless LAN. Multimedia content *might* run locally on the webpad - passed compressed over the network and only decompressed after this bottleneck. If this were the case, it would (just) be possible to watch DVD quality video over a wireless connection!
What this needs is a clever custom interface so that apps execute on the server machine, apart from proxies for Media Player and IE which invoke the real apps on the "monitor". Of course, the same thing would (in theory) be possible with an X-based solution - has anyone done such a thing?
The tax is intended to apply only to blank recording media, and not to eg pre-recorded CDs. So on page 6 the proposal indicates that this applies to media on which 'no sound has ever been fixed'. So for eraseable media, if the manufacturer records eg a 1 second "test-tone" on it then it will not be liable to the tax. Obviously this isn't a solution for CD-R or DVD-R, but it does seem like a pretty big hole. Might even make CD-RWs cheaper than CD-Rs in Canada!

You may want to check out the Asterisk PBX system, as it has an application API so you can make it do pretty much whatever you want.
