SkipJam iMedia Center

Paul Westbrook | 29 June, 2004 13:46

SkipJam iMedia Center Here is a pretty cool product line of products that will let you display your computer audio and video contents on your AV system. It looks like they have a server product that will transmit content to up to 4 client products. It looks like the client product will also play content off of a PC or a Network Storage Device.

The SkipJam iMedia center will play MPEG 1/2/4, MP3, WMA, WAV, Ogg, JPG.

I am not sure that I am all that interested in this. The SkipJam iMedia Player seems not to be worth $499.

RSS, Shrook and Distributed checking

Paul Westbrook | 29 June, 2004 12:55

I have been using a RSS aggregator/reader for about two months, and I really like it. It seems that RSS could be the next way that information is distributed. For example, using a RSS aggregator/reader can be used to get timely news from the different news sources. Also, I can see rss feeds replacing email newsletters. Email newsletters have a problem because the messages may get missed either because people have too many spam messages, or their spam filters are too agressive and filter these news letters. Also rss feeds can help save the bandwidth for a web publisher. The rss xml can be smaller than the formated html for the pages.

Now it seems that rss feeds will be easier for everyone to use. Apple is including a rss reader in their Safari 2.0 for Mac OS X 10.4. So I think that more and more people will be using rss feeds.
