Official words
iaian7 » blog John Einselen, 29.11.06The entire Apple-sues-podcasters thing was a bit silly, since it was specifically stated they had nothing against users of the term “podcast.” It still frightened a few people, but a recent Digg article has the latest correspondence from Apple.
Good to know, I suppose, that our podcasts are safe for a little while longer. Hopefully the silly fanaticism surrounding “netcast” will die. Not only is it dreadfully inaccurate for podcasts (since a netcast could be any RSS-fed media type), but it’s a sad replacement for a word that’s been in the vernacular for quite some time and in the dictionary for over a year.
In other Digg oriented news, we have another fun Google Maps location (no, not more naked people!). Evidently one can find the FireFox logo as a crop circle (go ahead, zoom in).
