Andrew Savikas The Beta Book, 1940s style

Writing on the Magellan Media blog, Brian O'Leary points out that O'Reilly's Rough Cuts program for updating content isn't particularly novel:

In that way, Rough Cuts is an extension of a 1940 product, the Hammond Self-Revising World Atlas. Edited and printed as war broke out in Europe, the atlas entered a U.S. market at a time when no one knew what future maps mig

Thad McIlroy Microsoft, XML, Injunctions & Patents

I've just added a blog post to my site with the same title as I use here. But I want to examine a very different aspect of the issue than posted there. There are several things that intrigue me about the odd near-overlap of Microsoft winning a patent on its XML technology for Word, and days later losing a major case which, on the face of it, involves the same technology. First things first. I've been an expert witness on patent litigation cases for some 15 years. I love them because they're fi… Continue

Travis Bryant Barnes & Noble eReader for Mac - My Thoughts

So I downloaded the free Barnes & Nobel eReader 1.0 this morning, to check it out. I’m on a Mac and was glad to see that B&N rolled out versions of the readers for iPhone, Blackberry, PC and Mac all at the same time. That’s a good move. The first thing I tried to do was open some pdf’s, mobi, epub and prc files I had created earlier for use on my phone and Sony Reader, but the B&N app wouldn’t ope… Continue

Thad McIlroy The Kindle Dilemma

I think that the Kindle is the most over-hyped piece of hardware since...mmmm...the toaster oven. I have a running series of comments on my Future of Publishing blog here: http://www.thefutureofpublishing.com/blog/?s=kindle I know I'm in the minority: most people think it's, as they always say "the most important (whatever) since Gutenberg (probably) invented movable type." I think it's transitory hardware technology which Amazon is pushing in a VERY cynical way. That's not to say that the e… Continue

A group of colleagues have an occasional email back-and-forth over something we find online discussing technology and the changes in publishing.
