Apple has introduced a new iPad with more memory — a welcome addition for iPad enthusiasts constrained by the limits of their gadget's 64GB memory.
Apart from the increased memory, the 128GB iPad will be identical to current iPad 4 models with a 9.7-inch Retina display, Apple-designed A6X chip, FaceTime HD camera and iOS 6.1.

The 128GB iPad sells in the United States starting at 799 dollars for the Wi-Fi-only version, with the price rising to 929 dollars for the version with Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, Apple said in a statement.

No details were provided about the international release for the 128GB iPad, but in the past Apple has released devices in major markets such as Japan, Britain, Germany and Australia within a few weeks of the US launch.

Apple says more than 120 million iPads have been sold worldwide so far.

Je l' bilo već o ovome? Znam da sam negde već čitao o ovome i da i tada nisam mogao da verujem!

Amazon ima patent na prodaju "korišćenih" e-knjiga.

...

A showdown over the meaning of ownership in the digital world between online retailers and content creators is on the horizon. The US Patent and Trademark Office recently awarded Amazon a patent titled Secondary Market For Digital Objects, wherein the mega-retailer describes a marketplace for the transfer of used digital objects, whether ebooks, audio, images, video, and even apps. As stated in the patent, "transfers may include a sale, a rental, a gift, a loan, a trade, etc."

...

So why would anyone stand opposed to this move? For one, it will only accelerate the end of your local neighborhood bookstore. But a bigger issue is that the creators of the content will likely not receive any compensation for the transfer. After all, they don't receive anying for selling used physical copies, though the difference is that a preowned ebook is identical to a new ebook in terms of quality. With a bunch of used copies floating around, the potential for a dropoff in the number of new digital objects sold is real. At the same time, lower prices could mean greater exposure as consumers on the fence might opt to buy at preowned prices.

...

But as John Scalzi, best-selling author and president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, noted on his blog, this means that content creators will get paid less but Amazon will make more. Astutely, he added:

    I would rather you pirate the eBook than buy it used. Because if you're not going to pay me, the guy who wrote the book (or also the folks who edited it, did the cover art, marketed it and put it out there in the first place), why the hell should Jeff Bezos get paid? He doesn't need the money; he's a billionaire. Amazon doesn't need the money either.
    To be clear, what I would like for you to do is pay for the eBook new...but if you've determined you won't, please don't give Amazon (or whomever) money you won't give me. That's just mean.

    Borrowing E-Books     PW today has an article with lots of numbers -- though surprisingly little analysis or thought -- about Amazon's e-book borrowing program, part of its Amazon Prime subscription business. It burbles about how "the monthly pool for borrowed e-books in January grew to $1.7 million, the largest in the history of the program" without ever explaining how this pool is defined, how and why the value of the pool fluctuates, or how it works.

I assume this is because Amazon, as usual, is being deeply opaque, and only releasing a few numbers carefully chosen to make them look as good as possible. As far as I can tell, the "pool" is set by Amazon fiat -- they decide how much money they feel like spending on ebook "borrowing" that month, and then divide it up according to some unspecified algorithm. (There's clearly at least a breakdown geographically, since there's both a "global fund" and a "monthly pool," though their relationship is not made clear.)

I would have to dig into the Kindle Direct Publishing agreement to be sure, but my guess is that Amazon has not promised to give any money to the authors of these ebooks, and that they're papering over that in their ongoing attempt to convert as many of their customers as possible to Prime. (Because subscription revenue is what everyone wants -- particularly when you run a website and no one can call you on the phone to cancel.)

So authors should take note: Amazon may have decided to give you $2.23 per ebook "borrowed" in January, which is potentially higher than you would have made from a sale in that same period. But every piece of that transaction -- and every penny of resulting revenue -- is under Amazon's complete control; it looks like they don't have to pay you a cent for that "borrow" if they decide (after the month is over, like this time) not to.

And don't get me started on "borrowing" ebooks. Do you have a digital file in your possession? Then it only expires and leaves your possession if you (through choice or laziness or ineptitude) let it do so -- once you have a digital file, there are plenty of tools for any of us to copy and save and transmute it. So it's only "borrowing" by courtesy -- or only "borrowing" in the legal language laid out by the people giving you contracts to sign.

Does the Demise of Google Reader Mean Paradigm Shift In the Internet?       

Posted on March 15, 2013 by jameswharris   

Yesterday Google announced it would be closing the ports on Google Reader July 1, and that immediately set the blogosphere abuzz.  I read at least a dozen articles this morning about the impact of losing Google Reader.  RSS readers have been around a long time, way before Google Reader, it's just Google Reader was so damn convenient.

I assume, that Google assumes, that mobile device users are moving away from the traditional RSS feed readers to programs like Zite, Pulse, Flipboard, and Google Currents, and that very well might be true.  I've certainly become a Zite addict.  But if you're a total news junky, trying to conquer the fire hose of data that is the Internet, RSS technology is still the best tool around.

If you search on Google for "Google Reader Alternatives" you will get a barrage of advice.  I've been trying various alternatives all day long, but some of these sites are bogged down by people just like me, so now might not be the best time to go kicking tires on a new RSS car.

Also, there are reports that some programs that work with the Google Reader back end are calling it quits.

I'd like a RSS news reader that has a web app, plus an app for my iPad and iPod touch.  Zite, Flipboard and Currents only works with mobile devices.  I joined Pulse and Feedly today, both of which have slick, customizable interfaces.  However, neither one seems to be designed for people with dozens or hundreds of RSS feeds.  Google Reader's plain interface worked well with lots of feeds.
Next, I thought about standalone application like FeedDemon, but Nick Bradbury, FeedDemon's creator, announced he was calling it quits.  But Bradbury also sounded like interest in FeedDemon was on the wane anyway.  Another bad indicator for RSS health.

I wonder how many online and offline programs use Google Reader's engine to make their program work?  I also looked at Feedreader, but it wouldn't accept my registration for the online version.  So I installed their client version, and discovered what it means to run my own RSS reader demon.  I'm not sure I want yet another process running in the background.

Newsblur said the demand was too high for free accounts, and asked if I wanted a paid account.  I might, but I'm waiting to see what happens in the next few weeks.

That's why Google Reader was so nice, it did all the work at its site, allowed a whole array of apps to use it, and was free.  Google hosting all those feeds is why so many programs depended on it.  Maybe it's time to pay for the service.  If we all paid Google a $1 a month, would Google be tempted to keep the service going?

If not, does this mean the beginning of the end for RSS?  Or is it time to pay for our lunch?

RSS technology allows people to build their own unique news service. Theoretically it should be the ultimate tool for people to get their daily news. But RSS isn't perfect. You can have 10 feeds, each providing 10 stories a day, but 90 of those stories might not be ones you want to read.  Zite, and other magazine builder apps, seek to send you stories that you really want to read by tracking your interests far more closely than RSS.  If they can make that work, RSS will die.

I love Zite, but it's not perfect either. I'm constantly thinking about how to be more efficient in my news gathering and reading. It's important to read about the topics you are most fascinated by, but it's also important to be exposed to a wide range of new topics.

I assume RSS is dying.  How many people know how to configure NNTP client anymore?  I loved Usenet newsgroups, but haven't used them in years.  Except at work I never use FTP or Telnet anymore.  The Internet is no longer a playground for techies.  And using computers and the Internet doesn't make you a Geek.  People want easy to use transparent services.  Google giving up on Google Reader is just a sign of that trend of taking the geekiness out of the Internet.

ne, nego ovo od Damiena, od pre par dana:




An open letter to Jeff Bezos, CEO Amazon


Dear Jeff,
Congratulations on your recent purchase of Goodreads. You already owned the world's biggest marketplace for ebooks, and let's give you credit for having the vision to make the Kindle happen. Now you own the biggest community of readers in the world, and those 16 million super-readers, and their influence over the reading habits of hundreds of millions of other people, only cost you a measley $150M. And let's not forget Audible, the only significant audiobook producer in the world. And Shelfari. And the rest. You own it all Jeff.
We're going through the most significant change in publishing since the printing press. We're digitising all the old analogue forms that the written word was once stored and distributed in. Because of e-readers, smartphones and tablets most people now do their reading on digital devices. Bricks and mortar retailers are either bust or heading that way. You could buy up the major publishers but really, what's the point? They will go bust sooner rather than later anyway, then you can buy their backlists cheap, or just go directly to the authors. The old infrastructure of publishing is dying, and you own the new infrastructure lock, stock and barrel.
None of that is up for debate. So what I'm really writing for is to ask a question. Now that you own publishing, what are you going to do with it?
I'm not so naive that I don't already know the answer. You own an industry that used to be diversified over dozens of major businesses and thousands of smaller ones. And it's a growth industry. People want more books than ever. We're a society hungry for information. Ebook sales are going through the roof. So what you're going to do with the digital publishing infrastructure is MAKE A HUGE FUCKING SHITLOAD OF MONEY...BEZOS HAZ ALL DA MONEYZ...as they say on the internet.
But come on Jeff, really? Huge personal fortunes from private ownership of social infrastructure is just *so* 20th Century. It's not like you can go all Andrew Carnegie on us and start building libraries to assuage your immense sense of guilt...well you could but it would be the very *height* of irony as you're primarily responsible for destroying them. Seriously, is there no other game plan than just grabbing all the money for Jeff? You know that feeling at the end of a game of Monopoly, when you're stuffing the $500 notes in to your mouth screaming 'JEFF WINS JEFF WINS JEFF WINS' but the children are crying and your wife is looking at you like Diane Keaton confronting Michael Corleone in The Godfather? Well that's how its going to be Jeff. Serious now.
Let me sell you another vision. And this is a sales pitch Jeff, except I want nothing except the chance to save your immortal soul from your own overwhelming greed.
You, Jeff Bezos, self-made billionaire and CEO of technology giant Amazon, have the chance to seal the deal on your reputation as one of the truly great figures in history. I'm not talking piffling ticks on the hide of humanity like Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar. Fuck Caesar, Jeff. Fuck him to hell and back. I'm talking Gandhi here. I'm talking Buddha. I'm talking fucking Jesus, Jeff. That's the scale of opportunity we're talking about here Mr Bezos. Millennia from now mothers will name their children after you. Entire schools of philosophy will be dedicated to acclaiming your greatness. People will stop in the streets and pray to your name eight times daily. This is the Messiah shot Jeff, and you're the only man in the game who can make it.*
Set the information free.
That's it Jeff. That's all you have to do. Just let it go free. Like a bird from a cage. The whole infrastructure is there and you, Jeff Bezos, hold the key. Just give it away. All the books ever written. And all the books that ever will be written. And all the reviews and essays and critical commentaries that will ever be written about them. The entire ecosystem of human knowledge, all in one digital archive, free for any member of the human race to access at any time and from any place. That's not destroying libraries. It's not even building new ones. It's making the ultimate library. The library humankind has been working towards for its entire history. And you could be the man to finally make it happen. And with it usher in a new shining age of human development that will make the Enlightenment look like an episode of Deadwood.
And if you don't?
We're facing a new digital Dark Age. One where every bit of human knowledge is owned and locked down in DRM protected silos and only released when its corporate owners are paid. One where the profit motive governs every human transaction, where knowledge is power and power is money and knowledge only goes to those who can pay and we spiral in to a cycle of human ignorance that drags us back down in to the intellectual squalor of the dark ages. And right now Jeff you're right up there as one of the four horseman bringing the apocalypse on, you and Larry Page, Eric Schmidt and Tim Cook and the host of money grubbing corporate non-entities you're empowering to lock down every fragment of human knowledge. That's the future Jeff, and if anyone even remembers your name for bringing it down on us, they'll spit after they say it, like a curse.
Or you can prove yourself at least partially human, and do something worthwhile with all that power.
Yours,
Damien Walter
@damiengwalter
*When I say "the only", be aware this is a time limited offer. Because power is fleeting, and how we use it determines what happens to us once is gone.

Has Samsung given us the greatest fantasy story of all time?







YE OLDE FASHIONED PHYISIKAL BOOK

INFINITELY SUPERIOR SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 8.0 E-READER'What is this feeling? I feel as light as a feather. I feel I can cut everything with my sword. What happened to myself?"
Something also happened to Thousand. His entire wound has been healed and has two brilliant and gorgeous wings. And that is not all. He also has the most powerful and legendary Horn, Birusutal that can drill everything in the world.

Finally, DK has a power to fight with Souron. He has reformed with unavoidable body. And Thousand and Birusutal and wings. No one can be their enemy. Nothing can stop them... All of a sudden, the Darkest Forest vanished and all the trees, plants and animals will give DK more power to defeat Souron. This place has changed to the most brightest place where beyond of Souron's power.

The Darkest Forest traces of human, animals, even wind, but any evidence of escape cannot be found in this death place and no one know what exists, what can survive. But, DK does not have any other choice, he has been bleeding too much and it is a matter of time before he gets caught.
Darkness, heavy fog does not allow DK to see even an inch ahead. He finally takes a step into the silent death place. "I know this smell. I can even predict how many dead animal bodies are rotting when I walk on them. How long can I last?"

DK is lying down on his horse, his old friend, and 'Thousand'. Shot by arrow on his leg and on his back, he is protecting and sharing his heat with DK and walking into the darkness of the deep forest.
"A day? A week? A month? How long have I been in this forest? I don't know if I can survive this night. I will be lucky enough see my Thousand again, with such dreadful injuries.

What next?! Oh Samsung, why must you tease us so?!

... i ne lezi vraže, eto ga sad ovo:

The flattening of e-book sales

In a post on the first day of this year, I noted the surprisingly rapid decline in e-book sales growth over the course of 2012. The trend appears to be continuing this year. The Association of American Publishers reports that in the first quarter of 2013, e-book sales in the U.S. trade market grew by just 5 percent over where they were in the same period in 2012. The explosive growth of the last few years has basically petered out, according to the AAP numbers:













E-books are still taking share from printed books, sales of which declined by 4.7 percent in the quarter, but the anemic growth of the electronic market calls into question the strength of the so-called "digital revolution" in the book business. E-books now represent a bit less than 25 percent of total book sales. That's a healthy share, but it's still a long way from dominance. The AAP findings are backed up by a remarkable new Nielsen report indicating that worldwide e-book sales actually declined slightly in the first quarter from year-earlier levels — something that would have seemed inconceivable a couple of years ago.
I speculated in my January post about some reasons why e-books may fall short of expectations:1. We may be discovering that e-books are well suited to some types of books (like genre fiction)  but not well suited to other types (like nonfiction and literary fiction) and are well suited to certain reading situations (plane trips) but less well suited to others (lying on the couch at home). The e-book may turn out to be more a complement to the printed book, as audiobooks have long been, rather than an outright substitute.
2. The early adopters, who tend also to be the enthusiastic adopters, have already made their move to e-books. Further converts will be harder to come by, particularly given the fact that 59 percent of American book readers say they have "no interest" in e-books, according to the Bowker report.
3. The advantages of printed books have been underrated, while the advantages of e-books have been overrated.
4. The early buyers of e-readers quickly filled them with lots of books, most of which have not been read. The motivation to buy more e-books may be dissipating as a result. Novelty fades.
5. The shift from e-readers to tablets is putting a damper on e-book sales. With dedicated readers, pretty much the only thing you can do is buy and read books. With tablets, you have a whole lot of other options. (To put it another way: On an e-reader, the e-reading app is always running. On a tablet, it isn't.)
6. E-book prices have not fallen the way many expected. There's not a big price difference between an e-book and a paperback. (It's possible, suggests one industry analyst, that Amazon is seeing a plateau in e-book sales and so is less motivated to take a loss on them for strategic reasons.)

A federal appeals court rejected Google's bid to dismiss a lawsuit accusing it of violating federal wiretap law when its accidentally collected emails and other personal data while building its popular Street View program.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused to exempt Google from liability under the federal Wiretap Act for having inadvertently intercepted emails, user names, passwords and other data from private Wi-Fi networks to create Street View, which provides panoramic views of city streets.
"It's a landmark decision that affirms the privacy of electronic communications for wireless networks," said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, D.C.
"Many Internet users depend on wireless networks to connect devices in their homes, such as printers and laptops, and companies should not be snooping on their communications or collecting private data."
Writing for a three-judge panel, Circuit Judge Jay Bybee said Wi-Fi communications did not qualify as a "radio communication," or an "electronic communication" that was "readily accessible to the general public," such that Google deserved an exemption from the Wiretap Act.
"Even if it is commonplace for members of the general public to connect to a neighbor's unencrypted Wi-Fi network," Bybee wrote, "members of the general public do not typically mistakenly intercept, store, and decode data transmitted by other devices on the network."
A Google spokeswoman said: "We are disappointed in the Ninth Circuit's decision and are considering our next steps."
Elizabeth Cabraser, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said she is pleased with the decision, and "reassured that our courts continue to uphold personal privacy as an important value."
The lawsuit arose soon after the Mountain View, California-based company publicly apologized in May 2010 for having collected fragments of "payload data" from unsecured wireless networks in more than 30 countries.
Google was accused of having collected the data while driving its vehicles through neighborhoods from 2008 to 2010 to collect photos for Street View.
Settlement with states
In June 2011, U.S. District Judge James Ware in San Francisco allowed plaintiffs in several consolidated private lawsuits to pursue federal Wiretap Act claims against Google, while dismissing California state law claims.
Upholding that ruling, Bybee said Google's "expansive" view of the Wiretap Act's exceptions would have produced the "absurd" result that the law's protections would depend on whether a recipient of communications was using a secure network.
He said this could, in theory, allow someone to park outside the home or office of a person using an unsecured network, and without penalty use a "packet sniffer," a device that captures data being transmitted over a network, to intercept an email intended for that person because it was readily accessible.
"Surely Congress did not intend to condone such an intrusive and unwarranted invasion of privacy when it enacted the Wiretap Act 'to protect against the unauthorized interception of electronic communications,'" he said.
Eighteen individual plaintiffs are named in the appeal.
In March, Google agreed to pay $7 million to settle a probe into the matter involving 38 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. As part of that settlement, Google agreed to destroy data collected in the United States.
The Electronic Privacy Information Center is a nonprofit that in court papers urged the upholding of Ware's ruling.
The case is Google Inc v. Joffe et al, 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 11-17483.
