Is Nokia Looking for Revenue in the Wrong Places?

,----[ Quote ]
| He proposed that iPod and iTunes was an exception, and would be eclipsed by a 
| Nokia/Microsoft (MSFT) partnership in short order.  
| 
| [...]
| 
| That conversation echoes the one that nearly every music player manufacturer 
| on the planet has had to date. And Microsoft's DRM and poor business 
| decisions has managed to undermine the business of every single one of them, 
| especially now that Microsoft's Zune competes with them and yet isn't 
| compatible with Microsoft's own PlaysForSure music software.

Mozilla, Opera look to make video on the Web easier

,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox and Opera will support a new HTML tag specifically for embedding 
| video in Web pages. As long as the browsers support a video's specific codec, 
| or encoding method, the browsers will then be able to play the video without 
| launching third-party enabling software, said Chris Double, a Mozilla 
| engineer. Mozilla and Opera are also working to support the royalty-free 
| video codec Ogg Theora.
