As we’ve said- the biggest news with the video iPod wasn’t watching movies- it was that Apple began selling TV shows on the iTunes store (sans commercials) for $1.99 ea. These were shows you could have seen for free the previous night.
Now- Apple has started to show ads on the store interface. Is this setting the stage for ad supported content? Will the ads be targeted to the customer- one can only assume so.
This is the end of the Network, the end of Cable- and the birth of IPTV. Are you paying attention?
I’ve said I’ll watch a whole bunch of spots to see the Sopranos for free- or pay $5 a show to see it in HD without having to get HBO-
We here at The Next Wave are firm believers in Open Source software- and while this isn’t exactly open source- Google SketchUP works with the Google API’s for Google Earth- and allows you to do some really cool things in a free software package.
We have Sketchup pro in the office and use it for 3d Visualization- and think that it’s the cats pajamas. When Google bought Sketchup a month or so ago we were really happy for the people at Sketchup who have worked so hard to make a great product.
So- all of you amateur home designers- you now have a way to design your new house- for free.
