The media giant said this morning that it will [resurrect the dormant CBS Records music label][1] to supply CBS television shows with cheaper music and to generate online music sales.
CBS has also signed a deal with Apple's iTunes Music Store to sell the revived label's music and videos.
The CBS Records label is apparently CBS's attempt to keep more of it's content in-house. Rather than paying licensing feeds to other labels for the use of their music, CBS Records will be hunting for unsigned musicians who write and perform their own songs which can be used to promoted CBS's prime-time TV shows.
By owning rather than licensing content CBS reduces costs and gains another source of revenue via online digital sales of the music.
In a CBS press statement CBS Chief Executive Leslie Moonves says, "with more consumers choosing the online download model as the preferred way to purchase their favorite songs, we have an opportunity to use our unique and broad collection of media platforms to create a new music label paradigm for a small price of admission."
For those less versed in jargon, I think what Moonves means is, people are spending a lot of money on online music and CBS wants some.
Once things get rolling CBS plans to integration music from CBS Records artists into the network's programming. At the end of each show CBS will display artist and purchasing information for interested viewers.
CBS, which recently [demonstrated the merits of giving away video on YouTube][2] seems to understand the online market a little better than many of it's rivals and I have no doubt that the new label together with it's iTunes tie-ins will benefit the company.
I would, however, like to know why companies that don't sell vinyl records insist on calling themselves "record companies," is "music company" just not catchy enough?

The search giant announced today it will be [entering the realm of domain registrations][1]. Annual registrations will be $10 and are available for domains ending in four suffixes, .com, .net, .biz and .info.
For those that may have overlooked it, Google became an accredited registrar of domain names almost two years ago, but this is the first time they've done anything with that approval. Rival services from Yahoo have been around for years.
The domain registration service has been rolled into the [Google Apps for Your Domain][2] offering. Google's service offers private listing, a DNS and domain management control panel and comes automatically configured to work with other Google services. You also get free email, calendar and IM services courtesy of Google Apps for Your Domain.
Google clearly wants to be the one-stop shop for small businesses looking to get started with the web and the auto-integration with other services certainly makes Google's new registration services tempting.
Google's new registration service sees the company partnering with [GoDaddy][3] and [eNom][4], and frankly the announcement is a little unclear on whether or not Google is handling the registration or whether it's really just doing a de-branded resale of GoDaddy and eNom's services.
So far Google doesn't have a bulk registration discount or pay-in-advance discount, but the $10 price tag is on par for the field and certainly better than old skool registrar, Network Solutions, who still charges $34.99 a year. Ouch.

This morning I found a link on Digg to a handy [list of Unix shell tips and tricks][1] that has already been saving me some time. Michael Stutz over at IBM's Developer Works writes:
>When you use a system often, you tend to fall into set usage patterns. Sometimes, you do not start the habit of doing things in the best possible way. Sometimes, you even pick up bad practices that lead to clutter and clumsiness. One of the best ways to correct such inadequacies is to conscientiously pick up good habits that counteract them. This article suggests 10 UNIX command-line habits worth picking up -- good habits that help you break many common usage foibles and make you more productive at the command line in the process.
One of my biggest annoyances in the shell is when I try to cd to a directory and only then discover that I haven't created that directory yet. This simple line from the article solves that issue by creating the directory if it doesn't exist:
cd tmp/a/b/c || mkdir -p tmp/a/b/c
I suppose if I were smarter I would have thought of that myself, but that's what the article is good at pointing out, tricks that, if you had the time to stop and think about them for a while, you'd probably solve yourself. But who has that time when there's work to be done?

This question, posed on the video site [QuickSilverScreen][1], caught my eye a few weeks ago and I've been following the story of QuickSilverScreen ever since.
It turns out the answer is mainly yes, it is illegal in the United States to knowingly link to copyright infringing materials. There's an excellent and very thorough rundown of all the relevant legal precedents on [Webtvwire][2] that I encourage you to read.
But first some background; QuickSilverScreen is a link sharing site almost solely dedicated to helping its visitors find copyright infringing material. Because QuickSilverScreen itself doesn't *host* any of the video clips you might think that the site is perfectly legal.
But you would be wrong. In fact, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), even linking to copyright infringing material is illegal. The DMCA does provide certain "safe harbor" exemptions however, but QuickSilverScreen does not qualify for them. In order to obtain so-called "safe harbor" an online service provider must, according to the [docs on Wikipedia][3]:
>* not have actual knowledge that the material or an activity using the material on the system or network is infringing (512(c)(1)(A)(1)).
* not be aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent (512(c)(1)(A)(2)).
* upon obtaining such knowledge or awareness, must act expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material. (512(c)(1)(A)(2) and 512(c)(1)(C))
* not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity, in a case in which the service provider has the right and ability to control such activity (512(c)(1)(B)).
There are several more requirements but the above is sufficient to illustrate why QuickSilverScreen didn't stand a chance in court. The site is fully aware that the content it links to is infringing and that, at least in the U.S., puts them in violation of the law.
What's unclear legally is how far this trail of linking goes; for instance, I just linked to QuickSilverScreen, does that make me liable? If you link to this article which links to QuickSilverScreen does that make you liable?
And where does that leave blogs and other personal sites that might occasionally link to a copyright infringing video? According to Dr. Stephan Ott, a [lawyer interviewed on Webtvwire][4], "if you know that a video is pirated and you link to it, it is very likely that courts will see the link as unlawful."
So what happened to QuickSilverScreen? At first the site rather cleverly converted its links to text boxes, but in the end QuickSilverScreen has done what all questionably legal sites seem to do -- moved offshore beyond the reaches of the DMCA and Fox lawyers.

It's tough to enter a market that Google is already in, but for those of you who love Analytics, Clicky still might have a few features even Analytics doesn't offer. For one thing, though it's nowhere near live, Clicky updates far more frequently than Analytics. And Clicky is promises a new service coming soon that is live; Clicky claims it will be much like Digg Spy, but personalized for your site.
Clicky offers all the standard features of site tracking services such as a list of IP addresses, type of browser, user operating system, unique visitors, total page hits and more.
Clicky offers the ability to track users individually and see how they got to your site, what pages they viewed and what content appealed to which users. You can also track custom data, for instance, if your site has user accounts, you can see who logged in and what pages they clicked.
The Clicky dashboard is easy to read and fully customizable, it even allows you to disregard IP address so your own click won't show up in your site data.
Clicky may not meet the needs of large businesses, but small site owners looking to track traffic may find it does the job well.

There's no need to update Google Earth, the new layers are automatically visible under the Layers menu. That said, if you haven't already, [check out the beta 4 version][4] of Google Earth.
To access the new content when you're using Google Earth just look for the Wikipedia globe icon or Panoramio "star" icon and click them to see the associated content. For Wikipedia entries you'll get the summary and a link to open the full entry in your default web browser. The Panoramio entries show the photograph and offer links to add comments or upload your own photos via the Panoramio site.
Clicking on a Panoramio photo in Google Earth will take you to that page on Panoramio which features integrated Google Maps that can give you directions to that location.
In addition to the Wikipedia and Panorama data, Google Earth now includes information from the [Google Earth community][3]. Represented in Google Earth by a yellow "i" icon, the content comes from user posts and uploaded photographs.
I've always been a huge fan of Google Earth and with the new content it just keeps getting better.
If you like the idea of user generated content on your maps you should also have a look at [Wikimapia.org][5], which isn't affiliated with Google Earth or Google in any way, but it does have some nice content.

The service will be called Openserving and will officially be available beginning sometime next week, but you can take a tour today.
Openserving will run on an easy-to-use version of the MediaWiki software and seems aimed to compete with other packaged services like Movable Type's TypePad.
Wales announcement comes as part of the ongoing Le Blogs conference in Paris France.
The new hosting promises, according to the announcement, "free software, free bandwidth, free storage, free computing power, free content over the internet," and will give 100 percent of ad revenue generated by the site to the "bloggers and website owners who partner with Wikia."
If you're thinking what's the catch, well there doesn't seem to be one. The only requirement is that the sites link back to Wikia.com which generates its revenue from advertising.
To address the widespread incredulity and curiosity about Wikia's business plan, Wells said in a press release, "we don't have all the business model answers, but we are confident -- as we always have been -- that the wisdom of our community will prevail."
Wikia may not be concerned with revenue at the moment since they recently took four million in funding from private sources and last week Wikia partnered with Amazon for an undisclosed sum.
Interestingly, Amazon has its own low-cost, data storage and website-hosting services, but Wales says that's not part of Wikia's deal with Amazon at the moment. "Potentially," [he tells Reuters][2], "but this is really completely separate"
While back links to Wikia.com may get Wikia some additional traffic and therefore generate more revenue, even Google, king of free internet services, takes its cut of advertising revenue.
By offering everything for free and turning down the established web 2.0 revenue stream of advertising, Wikia has set sail in uncharted waters; we'll be keeping an eye on the service to see how it plays out.

Early in the week several security updates to Microsoft's Office for Mac software appeared on the companies site for download. Although never officially announced, many users found and downloaded the updates hoping to patch the recently disclosed "zero day" flaws in Microsoft Word.
It turns out that the updates were in fact pre-release software intended for internal testing and not meant for the public. Microsoft has apologized for what it calls a human error and removed the downloads.
The blog post goes on the say that users who installed the not-ready-for-prime-time updates should uninstall them, but fails to provide any suggestions for uninstalling. ITWire [reports][1] that the installers themselves do not have an uninstall option and no directions or how-tos can be found on Microsoft's site.
There are no specifics available on what the software patched or what potential pre-lease hazards there may have been, but the update apparently affected only 7 files. If you installed the software you might consider erasing the whole program and reinstalling from disc, just to the on the safe side. Alternately, if you have a second system with unpatched versions of the seven files in question, you could simply copy the unaffected files.

Patent Search uses the same technology as Book Search, which means you can scroll through pages and zoom in and out on text and illustrations. So far you are limited to viewing the original documents but the [Google Blog][2] says that saving and printing features will be coming soon.
There's also an Advanced search feature that allows for additional criteria in your searches such as specific patent numbers, inventor name and filing dates. The advanced operators can also be used from the main search by entering the appropriate keywords like <code>ininventor:</code> or <code>intitle:</code>.
Google says there are currently 7 million patents in the database and many more will be added in the future. At the moment the patents stop around the middle of 2006, but the records go back over 200 years.
The records are limited to U.S. patents issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which has its own patent search available via its [website][3]. Google claims that its conversion of Patent and Trademark Office documents makes them easier to search that the existing format.
Many may be wondering how many people really want to search through patents, but Google has historically done well with its niche search offerings like Books, Maps and others.
That said, patents are little more obscure but, if nothing else, enterprising journalists and bloggers can now scour the patent office for patents from Apple, Microsoft and others to see what features and products might be in the works.
However, because Patent Search is currently limited to granted patents, juicy Apple or Microsoft patents that have been applied for, but not yet granted, won't be part of the results.
Google's Patent Search might not be an everyday destination for most people, but the speed and familiar Google results listing page sure beats the pants off the old Patent Office search engine.

The GWT is a Java development framework designed to help web programmers easily write AJAX applications like Google's own GMail or Maps. The GWT was [announced][2] back in May of this year, but today's open sourcing move means that the previously closed, binary-only, portions of the kit are now available to developers.
With GWT, developers can code and debug AJAX applications in Java and then deploy applications using the GWT compiler to translate the Java application to browser-compliant JavaScript.
The [guidelines for the GWT][4] outline the following workflow:
>1. Use your favorite Java IDE to write and debug an application in the Java language, using as many (or as few) GWT libraries as you find useful.
2. Use GWT's Java-to-JavaScript compiler to distill your application into a set of JavaScript and HTML files that you can serve with any web server.
3. Confirm that your application works in each browser that you want to support, which usually takes no additional work.
One of the reasons Google initially created GWT was to use it for their own development. Programs like GMail are incredibly difficult to create and debug because of myriad of differences between web browsers.
As the GWT homepage puts it, GWT makes creating AJAX applications, "easy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language."
Interestingly, in addition to open-sourcing the code, the GWT developers have also released their entire development process to the public. The new "[Making GWT Better][3]" page includes development discussions, code reviews, future milestones, and the codebase for developers to browse through.
If you're a web developer navigating the treacherous waters of AJAX development, you might want to give GWT a try.

The beta testing phase will begin in the second quarter of 2007 with 2,500 participants.
The new service is aimed at business users and will allow users to click on a name in Office Word, Outlook or Communicator and determine that person's availability and make a phone call.
For example, when a colleague sends you an e-mail, clicking their name in Office Outlook will check their phone availability status and place a person-to-person call or arrange a conference call with others.
Office Communications Server is an extension of the previously named Live Communications Server 2005, which allowed for IM, chat and other protocols, but had no support for VoIP.
The new Office Communications Server will work with many existing corporate communications structures, such as those available from Cisco, Siemens and others.
Microsoft's VoIP will use the [Session Initiation Protocol][2], the standard signaling protocol for Internet conferencing and telephony, unlike Skype for instance, which uses its own proprietary network.
The new Office Communications Server also supports audio, video and web conferencing as well as the ability to handle call waiting, forwarding and transfers.
According the Reuters report, Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer has predicted that within 10 years all business communications will be Web-based, meaning hundreds of millions of people will change how they communicate.

The move comes in response to ISP Perspektiv's decision to block its users from accessing the Russian website, allofmp3.com.
The interesting thing to note is that for Swedish users there is no legal reason for Perspektiv to block traffic to allofmp3, rather the broadband provider elected to do so, according the The Pirate Bay, after meeting with Swedish and Danish anti-piracy organizations.
The Pirate Bay claims that Perspektiv Bredband "clearly states in their press release that it is a moral and not legal standpoint." I can't read Swedish, so I can't confirm that Perspektiv did in fact say that, but either way, given that allofmp3.com is not illegal in Sweden, Perspektiv's move to block the site is a bit odd at the least.
For some background on the Pirate Bay see Quinn Norton's [recent coverage][2] for Wired.com.
Many might be tempted to dismiss the whole thing as irrelevant given the questionable legality of TPB in the U.S., but what's interesting about this story is not necessarily the isolated case, but the larger implications.
What happens when your favorite site blocks you from accessing it because the ISP that provides your internet connection does something your favorite site objects to?
I'm not suggesting that ISP's have the right to block content, but it does happen. And this is hardly the first time a site has blocked incoming users, Google blocks all kinds of traffic coming from China as part of its partnership with the Chinese government.
Protest and protest actions like boycotting a product or company have a long history in the United States, but I'm not sure that such actions transfer well to the internet.
For instance, if consumers are unhappy with Acme widgets they can boycott Acme widgets, tell all their friends to boycott Acme Widgets and Acme Widgets may choose to change their policies based on lost revenue.
But even in the midst of such a boycott if you did not agree with the boycott, you can still go to Acme Widget and buy whatever you want. In other words the consumer is not directly effected.
However in this case the consumer is caught in the middle. Now not only can Perspektiv Broadband users not access allofmp3, but now they can't access TPB either. The end result *could* be that enough Perspektiv users complain that company gets rid of its blocking software, but either way the burden of boycott is not on Perspektiv directly, but rather its customer base who must complain enough to initiate change.
It's easy to understand the Pirate Bay's position (and please keep in mind that The Pirate Bay is one of the largest sites in Sweden and that allofmp3 is legal under Swedish copyright law), but the decision to target the users of an ISP rather than the ISP directly seems unwise.
While I agree that Perspektiv's site ban is ultimately a far more chilling threat to concepts like net neutrality, I also hope that we aren't headed toward a future where individual sites begin blocking users as an indirect way of sending a message to abusive companies.

University officials say hackers broke into a database containing personal information on about 800,000 current and former students, faculty and staff members.
UCLA officials say the database accessed by the attackers contained personal records with the names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, home addresses and other contact information. The database in question did not contain any banking or credit card information, but given the amount of personal data it did contain, the attackers could potentially steal the victim's identities.
So far the University says that there is no evidence that information has been used in any way, but UCLA officials will be sending out a letter later today to those effected by the breach encouraging them to keep an eye on their consumer credit files and consider enabling fraud protection.
According to the UCLA announcement:
>an unauthorized person exploited a previously undetected software flaw and fraudulently accessed the database between October 2005 and November 2006. When UCLA discovered this activity on Nov. 21, 2006, computer security staff immediately blocked all access to Social Security numbers and began an emergency investigation.
As noted above, the exploit and attacks appear to have been going on for just over a year. UCLA security technicians discovered the exploit when they noticed a series of suspicious database queries.
In the [UCLA press release][2] Acting Chancellor Norman Abrams says, "We take our responsibility to safeguard personal information very seriously." He went on to assure students, "my primary concern is to make sure this does not happen again and to provide to the people whose data is stored in the database important information on how to minimize the risk of potential identity theft and fraud."
The Los Angeles Times [reports][3] that there are no "comprehensive statistics on computer break-ins at colleges do not exist." However, the Times goes on to say, "in the first six months of this year alone, there were at least 29 security failures at colleges nationwide, jeopardizing the records of 845,000 people."

New [traffic results][1] from comScore Networks, an online-traffic measuring company, put Fox's internet properties on top of Yahoo for the month of November. The primary source of Fox's increased ranking is MySpace which is owned by News Corp, also the parent company of Fox.
Is MySpace really that popular? Well maybe, but comScore says that one month at the top could be an anomaly and comScore's figures differ from those published by Nielsen, which found that Yahoo held the top spot in November, with Fox coming in at number two for overall web traffic.
The comScore figures putting Fox at number one are based on page views per site rather than unique visitors. Even comScore's numbers still put Yahoo as the web leader in unique audience, pulling in almost 130 million visitors in November while Fox trailed at a distant sixth with just under 74 million.
In what could be a decided drawback to web 2.0 technologies, some analysts say that Yahoo's increasing use of AJAX technologies for maps, e-mail and other services may have lowered their overall page views.
Because AJAX fetches data in snippets, as it's needed, rather than reloading an entirely new page, Yahoo's traffic may appear to be less than it actually is. MySpace on the other hand relies on more traditional methods of page loading.
Either way the news isn't good for Yahoo which recently restructured with a major staff reorganization in hopes the change would help Yahoo overtake longtime rival Google in the advertising realm.
Pundits have long held that there's a statistic for everything, which may well be true, but one thing's for sure, MySpace is more popular than ever.

The new release is, natch, a beta, but I've been using it all day without any problems.
For the most part the update catches the Firefox toolbar up to where the Google IE toolbar has already been for some time, but there's also some new things that haven't made it to the IE version yet.
The biggest thing missing from the Firefox version was the Google Bookmark menu which stores your bookmarks to your Google account so you can access them wherever you go. This feature already exists in IE, but now Firefox users can enjoy the same integration.
The other standout feature is one that hasn't made it to the IE toolbar yet. Taking a tip from [Zoho][3], The Google Toolbar for Firefox can now open certain spreadsheets and other office docs within the browser window via Google Docs and Spreadsheets. This eliminates the need to download the file first and makes browsing office documents online faster and easier.
There are also some new buttons for Google services that can be placed in the toolbar, including one for GMail, which provides tight integration with Google's popular email service. In the toolbar preferences you can check a setting to have all email links auto-open in GMail, and from the new GMail toolbar button you can snap directly to recent messages in your inbox.
There's also a new button to send links via GMail, SMS or Blogger.
Overall a very nice update that should make Firefox users happy.

There's bunch of other cool free tools in the Microsoft adCenter Labs aimed at businesses including my personal favorite, [Keyword Mutation Detection][2], which will show you the most common misspellings for a given search term.
Another interesting one is the [Detecting Online Commercial Intention][3], which rates the level of intent to purchase for each search query. For example, someone searching for "digital camera" is probably looking to buy someone, whereas a search for "Monkey Bites" is not a "commercial" search.

The initial release is still a little rough around the edges, but it boosts a host of promising new features.
When is comes to beta software some offerings are really beta in name only while others are sloppy, bug-ridden nightmares better labeled alpha. The first beta release of Thunderbird falls somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. Mozilla says beta 1 is intended for developer testing only, which is probably a good guideline since not all the new features are quite stable yet.
The final release of Thunderbird 2 is slated for early next year and if the initial beta is any indication a 2.0 should be impressive.
New features in the Thunderbird beta abound. The most immediately obvious change is the GUI and icons which have been redesigned and cleaned up considerably. Clearly the Thunderbird team has been working hard to improve usability and address design issues.
But the new features aren't all fluffy and eyecandy, there's some great new tools as well.
The beta release brings support for "tagging" mail messages as means of organization. Just select a message, add a tag and Thunderbird can recall your mail according to the tags you define. Tagging is even extended to saved searches which create "smart" mail folders based on your search criteria.
The smart folder concept will be familiar if you've ever used any of Apple's iApps, but the addition of tags makes it much more customizable and more powerful.
Other new features include back and forward buttons to move through your mail browsing history just as you would in a web browser. Curiously these two buttons were not in the default toolbar, I had to go digging to find them. Hopefully in the 2.0 release they'll be enabled by default because once you use them, you'll wonder how you got by without them.
There's also a number of small additions that refine the email experience but aren't immediately obvious. The most useful of these is what the release docs, call "folder summary popups." Summary popups act like link popups in a browser, mouseover a folder with unread messages and a small summary appears with sender, subject and body snippet. It's a handy way to get a quick synopsis of a new message when you're in another folder, without having to switch views.
Other nice touches include folder views in the folder pane. It's now possible to customize the folder pane to show favorite, unread or recent folders and flip between them without effecting the other panes.
On the downside, IMAP performance in Thunderbird is still slow, though it is improved somewhat and in fairness there isn't really an email program on the market that has what I would call snappy IMAP performance. POP mail speed remains excellent and switching between folders, views and mailboxes is notable snappier.
Some of the performance boosts can probably be attributed to the beta being the first Universal Binary for Mac, I haven't tested Thunderbird on Windows or Linux.
So how beta is it? Too beta to use fulltime. There were a number of strange behaviors, lag times, hangs and crashes. However developers and others wanting to test the software and report bugs should go ahead and download a copy.
Be sure to see the [known issues list][3] on the Mozilla developer site.
The rest of us will just have to be patient, but by the looks of this early release, Thunderbird 2.0 will be worth the wait.
