The Back Page - Looking Ahead at the App Store’s Future
by Bryan Chaffin

 

Seems the App Store had a birthday Monday, celebrating its first full year of operation, most of which was spent being a massive game changer in the cell phone/smartphone market. What's a poor pundit to do with such an auspicious occasion but look ahead to the next year and try to guess what will come?

by Bryan Chaffin

An agreement has been reached between SoundExchange and a group of Internet radio stations that includes the popular Pandora service. The various parties involved announced the agreement late on Tuesday, an agreement that reduces royalty rates set by a 2007 ruling from the US Copyright Royalty Board, rates that were generally higher than the total revenue of the affected stations.

Just a Peek - Doom: Resurrection
by Vern Seward

Doom-ish creatures and a spooky environment sounds like a good excuse to pick up a BFG and blast anything that moves, right?
