At yesterday's Apple Showtime event, Steve Jobs announced upgrades to iPod/iTunes, the addition of movies to iTunes, and an upcoming product called iTV.

The two main points that came out of it, from a product and market perspective, is that 1) RealNetworks is exhibiting very strong growth in the gaming market; and...
The latest issue of Wired magazine has a useful profile of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, which Wired has elevated to number 9 in its latest Wired 40 list (it didn't even make the list last year). The article focuses on News Corp's $580 million acquisition of MySpace last year, which...

While the sign-up page doesn't go into detail about what PostApp does, Fergus Burns from Nooked has an interesting post on this subject:"A new space is beginning to develop -...
John Hagel has a thought-provoking post about microchunking and media businesses. It follows on from Umair Haque's post, in which Umair said that "unbundling" media (e.g. Disney releasing tv shows for free online) is only half the equation. The other half - the real value - is in "rebundling". By...

Interesting line of thought inspired by Ross Mayfield's post Blog-based Research Model, where he talks about research services shifting "from the end analysis product (.pdf) to the open process of research".
