Monday Round-Up

February 25, 2008

The Toronto Star has an interesting column from noted Internet and e-commerce law expert, Michael Geist, called Canadians are playing key role in `Books 2.0′. While Geist mentions how the interent and print-on-demand technologies are playing a role in shaping the industry, I would have liked to see more about how this affects the number of titles available to the market and how it may have changed the way author’s might bring their work to the market. I found the report on the Cultural Affairs web site, and intend to give it a look over.

Microsoft has announced that it will no longer support HD DVD for the Xbox 360, but has not indicated whether or not it plans to support Blu-ray – which of course was developed by its greatest rival in the game console space, Sony, and available on the PlayStation 3.

Speaking of Sony, the sale of their chip manufacturing plant in Japan to Toshiba comes at a most interesting time.

Here is the Google translation of an article that appeared in an Italian paper called Repubblica.it, describing a new technology that may replace windshield wipers.
