cats writes "[0]Anything Box, the synthpop band from the 80's who had a hit with 'Living in Oblivion' have released an introspective albumn in mp3 format under a 'freeware' style license. Anyone who has ever seen these guys perform know they are just a bunch of nice people trying to make ends meet as musicians. I had the opportunity to hang with Claude before his show in NJ at The Pipe back in 1998. He had some interesting asides about how the music business in general operates. They manipulate the artists' work as well as take huge cuts of musicians' profits. The album is available via [1]download as one big zip file including artwork and is in mp3 format. Very cool."

about a 2-year-old Silicon Valley start-up called [2]Keyhole and their product Earthviewer. The Mountain View company makes interactive 3-D maps that fuse high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery, elevation data, GPS coordinates, and overlay information about cities and businesses to deliver a streaming, 3D map of the entire globe. Since the start of the war, many news networks have been using the maps to zoom in on, over and around the Iraqi landscape to help viewers see where the war is being fought. Keyhole is financed by Sony Broadband Entertainment, graphics-chip maker [3]Nvidia and others. Keyhole uses satellite images, aerial photos and other data to create 3-D maps that perform much like high-quality video games. Way cool!" Links

'Lock in Software,' not 'Proprietary Software' http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/18/1230223

By Brendan Scott - In July last year I wrote a paper which argued that the total cost of ownership of free software would, in the long run, always be lower than that of equivalent software created under different models. One of the problems I grappled with when writing that paper was how to name those different models. At the time I adopted a term which appeared to be used widely, that of “proprietary software”.

VideoDB is a database to manage your personal video collection. It's mainly designed for videofiles but you can also put your DVDs and VHS tapes in it. It features fetching movie data/covers from the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), local caching of coverimages, an option to mark movies as seen, a search by genre or title/subtitle/plot/cast data, a filter for TV episodes, a random movie function and a simple borrow manager. It is a personal database, so no user management/authentication scheme is implemented. Everybody may add/edit/delete movies.
