Ennev's Tech Journal

So it look like mevio.com is no longer hosting “non profit” podcast, I don’t know if it’s just a bug or it’s a decision they have taken recently, but the thing is, is that they haven’t publicized it yet and as far as I know a lot of producer got theirs account suspended without notice or explanations. I know some of us wrote for an explanation and have yet to get an answer. The files are still up from what I see but the rss feed and webpage have been removed. I have only posted public domain material on this podcast I was having, so i don’t think it was brought down for copyright issues.

It is just bad timing because I was going to produce new episodes and try to bring it back alive, I was neglecting it since a few years.

Anyway, for the moment I have relocated it. So if you are intrigued about Old Time Radio Show just try it:
The “New” Odd and Not show

I just noticed this new column this morning! it’s called “Price”!!

Is Apple preparing to charge for some podcast?

I know that some podcasted have been dreaming of this revenue model over an advertisement based. But seriously, you show is better to be very good for me to pay. I know that advertisers have been more than slow to embrace podcasting but i’m not sure that a paying model is going to work either.

I’ve checked around and haven’t found more about this for now, but will continue to dig.

Could it fly? Can’t say I heard the lP on iTunes are a succes!

Rumor: Ebooks for Apple Tablet, From Harper Collins [Rumors]

Based on explanations by Brian Murray, the chief executive of HarperCollins, the reason Amazon would initially have something to fear is that “e-books enhanced with video, author interviews and social-networking applications could command higher retail prices for publishers than current e-books” in the future. Apple’s tablet would, of course, be ideal for such enhanced content, and we already know that they’ll be digging for mags, newspapers and college textbooks but this is some of the first we’ve heard of Apple negotiating with publishers for regular e books.

Ah, I suppose we’ll be able to speculate some more on January 27th, in the meantime—on the tablet or not—”enhanced ebooks” sound like a blast. Just imagine how often you’ll say that something was way better with the author commentary. [WSJ]

Interesting!
