Om reported today that Joost is getting ready to abandon its client and replace it with a web-based product that’s powered by a P2P plug-in. This step certainly makes sense for Joost. The service has been struggling to remain relevant ever since its launch, and the idea of web-based solution has been floating around for what seems like forever. But Joost in a browser is also hardly revolutionary. In fact, there have been plenty of ...

p2pnet news view P2P | RIAA News:- “If the goal is to reduce file sharing, it’s a failure.” That’s EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) lawyer Fred von Lohmann on the efforts of Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony BMG and their RIAA to use the US civil legal system to terrorize people into abandoning P2P filesharing.

Filed under: Internet, Video, Browsers Apparently a web browser really is the best place to watch online video. OK, that's probably not at all true. But thanks to YouTube, Hulu, and other Flash video based web sites, most users have gotten used to watching video without launching a separate application. So this week we saw Amazon de-emphasize the download feature of its online video store. Next up? It looks like Joost might end development of ...

Much like how doctor’s get bombarded with medical questions, being the alpha geek in any family or group of friends means you’ll get asked questions about computers. There’s only one way to stay sane: get everyone you know to run the same software. Outlook vs Gmail Case in point, I’ve had to support Microsoft Outlook for over a decade now even though the last time I used it was in 1997. Even though I switched ...

Over the last week, there was a lot of talk around Comcast instituting a 250 gigabyte cap on your downloads for a 30-day period. The Web's collective opinion has always tended to believe in unmetered, unlimited access to just about anything, without censorship, so the news of restrictions had many up in arms. But the truth is, you'd have to really go out of your way to reach the cap, and be downloading around the ...

With blazing fast speeds, college campuses are somewhat notorious for having a league of students use the speeds to download all the music they'd like.For the past few years the RIAA has been lurking around college campus intranets and using college IT and Administrators to choose their next unsuspecting pool of college victims. It seems that may be about to change and college students nationwide may now be able to breathe a little easier as ...

I found the discussion of the available bandwidth of tree vs higher dimensional virtual networks topologies quite, to quote Spock, fascinating: A mathematical analysis by Ritter (2002) (one of the original developers of Napster) presented a detailed numerical argument demonstrating that the Gnutella network could not scale to the SCALABILITY (horizontal or vertical) = ability to easily add capacity to accommodate growth. Capacity doesn’t mean speed. Planning includes realizing what you have right NOW, and ...

One of my fondest memories as a kid was saving up my money and making trip to the record store where I would spend what seemed like hours going through the LP bins. Finally I would narrow down my selection to what money I had in my pocket. Sometimes I would be able to get only one album, maybe two or on those rare occasions when there was a sale going on I’d get more. ...

"While some big bands have shown that it is still possible to produce quality CDs that is meant to be listened to as a whole and that people will buy them the majority of musicians still only produce one or two good songs per CD." Don't listen to those crappy artists then? Still full album or nothing for me.

I lament the death of the album. I'm not denying it that its happening, I just wish it werent. When I was first appreciating music, I really connected with the idea that the album was a body of work to be considered as a whole. Sure, maybe there were a few singles in there, but I always try to think of the whole set of tracks when considering an artists releases. I mean, PYT off of Michael Jacksons Thriller? I'll Wait off of Van Halen 1984? Huge songs that were never really singles.

With Joe Biden tapped to be Barack Obama's vice presidential candidate, the Delaware senator's voting record is being re-examined with a whole new slew of priorities. Among them is Biden's record with respects to technology and consumer advocacy, which some say sports a conspicuous tilt toward big business and big government. When it comes to copyright issues, net neutrality, P2P networks, wiretapping, and digital privacy, Biden has historically stood with the establishment - backing the ...

New BitTorrent search engine PizzaTorrent is a meta-search engine that scours the most popular public torrent trackers and sorts the results by the health of the torrent. Very similar to previously mentioned YouTorrent, PizzaTorrent adds a nice categories feature that sorts results one step further by the result type, which makes finding that special download that much easier.
