About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Tuesday, June 08, 2004CEOs Deliver Updates, Barbs at Tech MeetingWSJ (paid subscription required): "[Apple CEO Steve] Jobs said the AirPort Express was born of consumer interest in playing digital music in the home, away from the PC. 'We wanted to address that living-room situation,' said Mr. Jobs. Apple recently renewed deals with major record labels to continue selling songs for 99 cents each, Mr. Jobs said. Some labels have recently discussed raising the price of legal downloads. But he resisted suggestions that Apple allow iPod users to play songs recorded in other digital-music formats, such as those from Microsoft. 'We feel we can innovate much more if we control the technology,' he said. [Microsoft Chairman Bill] Gates, meanwhile, said Microsoft's forthcoming music-download service would challenge Apple by permitting the music to be played on a variety of players. Mr. Gates said Microsoft's partners will create devices better than the iPod. 'Imagine it's possible to do better' than Apple, he said." [ Posted at 10:58 AM | Permalink ]
