About, Tech: New features: We’d like to welcome Apture to the fold.

  • This program was seemingly designed for ShortFormBlog. As we’re sure you know, our goal is to keep information simple and short for you guys, while allowing you to better find information from other sources. Which is why we’re very excited about the prospect of using Apture. Apture uses Javascript to create rich extra layers of content (from sources we like, such as Wikipedia and YouTube) above the main site. Among initial users include The New York Times and The Washington Post. What do you guys think? Comment here. source

Tech: MPAA: Lock the doors, kick the public out. Judge: OK!

  • The RealDVD trial takes a sketchy turn. The Motion Picture Association of America and another group, concerned that trade secrets about DVD encryption technology would be revealed during a trial against Real, asked the judge to close the courtroom. Judge Marilyn Patel agreed. RealDVD, if you don’t know, allows people to save DVDs onto their computer and legally watch them later. Just days after releasing the software, Real was sued by the MPAA. The closed courtroom does not bode well for Real’s case, by the way. source

    All three are believed to be terminally ill.
  • JR Raphael • In a PC World blog post on the demise of Geocities. You still remember it, right? It was a way that you could put yourself on the Internet for free with a giant ad on top. 15 years in, its owners, Yahoo, have chosen to pull the plug on the useless piece of junk they paid $4.7 billion for a decade ago. Mainly because, well, there are other places you can go to talk about yourself on the Internet. • source
