, Evan Williams mentions a webcam with a server built in. Well, it is cool. We have one at the office, though I believe it’s stuck behind our firewall at the moment (why that would be I don’t know). I’ll try to get to the bottom of it, actually, now that I remember that it’s there, and presumably chugging away.

Oops. I feel bad
for having been so glib earlier about the Concorde crash. 113 people are dead.
The use of freelancers’
material on the web (and in other electronic media) without additional payment has been a huge issue in Montreal for some time, but hasn’t received a whole lot of coverage. Editor and Publisher Online reports today that Freelancers are picketing the Boston Globe, and I’m sure similar things have happened throughout North America. The newspaper business, in my experience, is playing hardball on this one – at least that was the case here. It’s interesting in the context of the Napster debate, because it shows the differences between how copyrights are handled. Freelance journalists generally only sell a license for first publication, but newspapers want to extend that (thus cutting into potential sales to other papers) without additional payment. In the music biz, the record company buys the copyright itself, so presumably any additional revenue stream won’t make a difference in the amount they pay the artists. That should be an issue but it isn’t.
Whoa
:Concorde crashes in France. Guess I’ll drive next time.
Wired News again
demonstrates that new media don’t kill old media. In fact, they may bolster them. Remember, telegraph was mandated on all oceangoing ships until just a couple of years ago.
