Briefly: Samsung’s price fixing, Azureus anonymity, Archos Gmini 402, Vingle trademark, Apple’s 10% cut on partners’ revenue
- Samsung to Pay $300M Fine for Price Fixing (they’ve been fixing the price of memory chips since April ‘99; boo!—also read: Business Week’s report) [via]
- Part 3: Azureus Anonymity (Paul comes with another guide on Azureus, though it seems like this oneneeds some serious editing; also read: Part 1 – Part 2)
- Review: Archos Gmini 402 (rating: 4/5; it does a fine job reproducing video—better than iAudio’s X5—and it can record audio too; longer battery and better analog controls would be nice to have; available on Amazon for $295—CNET gave it a positive review too)
What the heck is “Vingle”? (Apple has applied for a trademark on the term, but all three fillings made on October 7th are rather vague)
- Apple To Slug Partners 10% Of All Revenue (“iPod accesory manufacturers are set to be slugged a massive 10% of all revenue if they want to connect with an Appe iPod port.”) [via]
