AT T s on again off again free WiFi for iPhones: related news

AT&T's on-again, off-again free WiFi for iPhones

For those that haven’t been following the drama (shame on you!) here’s the scoop. AT&T last Thursday began trials of free WiFi service for iPhone users – and people picked up on it pretty fast. It was suspicious though because there was no mention of it from either AT&T or Apple.

WiFi for iPhone: AT&T giveth, then taketh, then giveth again

Last week, iPhone users noticed that AT&T WiFi hotspots in some Starbucks locations allowed free access after asking for their 10-digit cell number. Then on Monday this week, however, users reported the free access had been shut off. Today, that changed again, as AT&T's website officially states that all iPhone rate plans now include "access to AT&T's more than 17,000 Wi-Fi hotspots" across the US.

Uruknet and Axis of Logic Cut Off From Google News Again

Google News has again cut off URUKNET, one of the most reliable and important sources of news on the war in Iraq.

Please click on the link provided near the top of the article below to register your complaint. Bombard Google with emails until they reinstate both, URUKNET and Axis of Logic to Google News. Meanwhile, you as a reader can become a distributor of our articles by sending them to the millions in your collective list-serves and email correspondence. Thank you for your important participation to keep the alternative media free of censorship.

Micrsoft Denies Blu-ray Capable Xbox 360...Again

Micrsoft Denies Blu-ray Capable Xbox 360...Again Its come to the point with the Xbox 360 with Blu-ray fiasco that Ill only believe it when I can walk into a store and purchase one.

The latest rumor of Blu-ray on 360 surfaced late last week, and Microsoft has once again shot down the rumor.

Getting the "Free" Business Model Wrong Doesn't Mean the Model is Flawed

While "free" seems to be an increasingly popular business model there are quite a few people who seems to be completely bungling what to do with "free" and then complaining when it doesn't work. Techdirt takes a look at some of the arguments surrounding why free as a business model may or may not work and why many of these arguments, while prevalent, just don't hold water. "you give away the infinite goods, not the scarce goods. Your time is a scarce good. No one is saying that everything needs to be free -- they're saying that infinite goods will be free, because of it's very nature in economics. In fact, Poole's argument is particularly weak when it comes to programmers, because most programmers don't earn any kind of royalties for the software they write.

Viacom Nudges Some Premium Content Online, For Free

amplt1337 writes "Debates about the profitability of 'free' continue to rage, but at least one major media conglomerate — Viacom — is pushing forward with releasing paid-for content for free on the Internet. Of course, the prospect of free and easy full-length Daily Show episodes has caused some tension with cable providers, who pay a hefty premium for a heretofore-exclusive right to distribute the conglom's content (there are obvious parallels with the conflict between labels and musicians). What strikes me as really interesting is that even an old, entrenched company like Viacom has enough vision to see the opportunity for increased profits through free distribution — provided they can control that distribution (see their YouTube lawsuit) and have discretion over just how free they go.

Brightnets are Owner Free File Systems

elucido writes "OFF, or the Owner-Free Filesystem is a distributed filesystem in which everything is stored in reference to randomized data blocks, as opposed to a 1:1 copy of the original data being inserted. The creators of the Owner-Free Filesystem have coined a new term to define the network: A brightnet. Nobody shares any copyrighted files, and therefore nobody needs to hide away. OFF provides a platform through which data can be stored (publicly or otherwise) in a discreet, distributed manner. The system allows for personal privacy because data (blocks) being transferred from peer to peer do not bear any relation to the original data. Incidentally, no data passing through the network can be considered copyrighted because the means by which it is represented is truly random.
