Microsoft: We took MikeRoweSoft too seriously
Microsoft says it may have been overaggressive in threatening Web entrepreneur Mike Rowe over the name of his Web site, Mikerowesoft.com.
Rowe, a 17-year-old student from Vancouver, British Columbia, registered Mikerowesoft.com to front his part-time Web site design business in August 2003. Three months later, he received an e-mail from Microsoft's lawyers, asking him to transfer the domain name to Microsoft. They offered to pay him a "settlement" of $10, which is the cost of his original registration fee.

Gates: Linux Is Too Pricey
Gates: If you look at security, there are three things to consider. One is the number of critical security updates. We are significantly better than Linux or Unix on that. The second would be how quickly you make these updates available. We are significantly better than Unix or Linux on that.

Musikindustrie: CD hat ausgedient
Durch zwei in den letzten Jahren entwickelte Musik-Formate, DVD-Audio und Super Audio Compact Disc (SACD), will die Musikindustrie laut einem Bericht von CNN die CD ersetzen. Wesentliche Vorteile der neuen Tonträger: der Mehrkanal-Sound, der die Klangqualität des Stereotones bei weitem übertrifft, und ihre wesentlich größere Speicherkapazität. Während der Preis für eine der neuen Discs bei erschwinglichen 19 Dollar – und damit gleichauf mit einer CD – liegt, sind die Anschaffungskosten für das adäquate Wiedergabe-System äußerst hoch.

BTW 17. August 20 Jahre Compact Disc
Die Compact Disc (CD) wird 20 Jahre alt: 1982 gilt als das Geburtsjahr der Audio-CD. PolyGram stellte am 17. August die erste Audio-CD großserienmäßig her.
Abgesehen davon arbeiteten Philips und Sony nahezu zeitgleich und zunächst unabhängig voneinander an eigenen CD-Projekten. Beide Firmen entwickelten zunächst eigenständig, einigten sich jedoch schließlich auf einen gemeinsamen CD-Standard.
