S.Korea wants people in ’smart’ clothes [Washington Post] “Technology-savvy South Korea isn’t happy making only MP3 players and the memory chips that go inside many of the more popular models. It also wants people wearing South Korean “smart” clothes with built-in digital music players.”
Recycled cellphones help drive Third World wireless boom [USA Today] “ReCellular has more than half the U.S. phone recycling business. Executives say they are doing well for themselves as well as for the March of Dimes and other national charities that benefit from the company’s purchase of donated phones.”
Sony refused peer-to-peer patents [The Register] “Sony cannot patent inventions in the UK that remove the anonymity of the peer-to-peer (P2P) user experience and put social networking at the heart of file-sharing.”
Now the Music Industry wants guitarists to stop sharing [NY Times] “In the last few months, trade groups representing music publishers have used the threat of copyright lawsuits to shut down guitar tablature sites, where users exchange tips on how to play songs like “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” “Highway to Hell” and thousands of others.”
