Que es?
The Weblog of Brett Singer. Bringing the world what it needs most - a blog.
Note: Sorry about all of the 'hot deals' entries (someone referred to this blog as
CorporateShill.com).
The deals and things are being fed into Multineedia.com. We will
soon move the deals category over to Multineedia so you don't have to read it, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Your Next Phone Might Be Running Linux - Should You Care?
More about Linux going mobile:
Right now there is a Linux handset for every 13 people in Japan. So speaketh Linux World Magazine.
OSDL Mobile Linux Initiative
From Linux World Magazine.
Linux breaking into the Mobile OS market is kind of like the Democratic Party trying to take back the White House from the current Bush Administration: if they can't make any headway, they should pack up and go home.
If XSPF is not RSS, can I still hear the music?
A post from Gonze.com addressing the question "Why not RSS?"
As I understand it, XSPF works like RSS in most user applications, although I admit that I could be completely wrong about that. As I see it, XSPF is a playlist format (like PLS but more robust, like SMIL but less annoying, like ASX but more open, and so on), whereas RSS is something else. These two posts are linked to from Gonze.com, and the latter says that "an XPSF feed is basically an RSS feed without some of the elements that are optional in RSS anyway."
My understanding of XSPF is limited mostly to it's applications on Webjay, but it seems that the attempt is to create a playlist format that works well, is open to all, and is a combo of a playlist and RSS - hence the description Shareable Playlist Format.
This is one of those topics that seems like it's a big who cares, but it actually is pretty important. Whenever you listen to or watch media on the web, view/listen to content on your local computer, or even when you use a Tivo, a DVR, or a Media Center PC, somewhere in there is a playlist format. Wouldn't it be nice if it was a format that played well with others?
