Talent agency is aiming to find web video stars [NY Times] “The move by the United Talent Agency — best known as the home of comedians like Vince Vaughn and Jack Black, filmmakers like M. Night Shyamalan and television producers like Dick Wolf and David Chase — amounts to a bet, albeit a modest one, that Web video is on a growth curve similar to that of cable television a generation ago. It is also a return by Hollywood’s core talent representatives to the sort of new-media business they tested, without great success, at the peak of the dot-com boom.“
IE7 vs. Firefox: The competition really begins [PC Magazine] “In my tests, both browsers had some nice features and pretty good compatibility with the web sites I tried. Even most of the complicated AJAX-based sites worked pretty well. But I did run into some problems.“
Novell makes a move [Globe & Mail Blog] “A day after Microsoft announced that it would offer free or low-cost upgrades to Windows Vista to buyers of new computers, Novell announced that four white-box PC manufacturers will be pre-loading SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 with their no-name products. European manufacturers ETegro Technologies, Maxdata and Transtec will join U.S.-based R Cubed Technologies to sell notebooks or desktops with SUSE.“.
