CNET Accuses Apple of Over-Hyping Launch 382

Posted by ScuttleMonkey from the bring-back-fireside-chats dept.
An anonymous reader writes "A columnist at CNET is questioning whether Apple over-hyped last week's launch. From the article: 'Jobs' announcement of a new leather case for the iPod was especially ridiculous. Like the queen announcing a new toaster in Buckingham Palace. It seemed odd that Jobs was troubling himself to introduce fashion accessories to Apple's products.' Is Apple a victim of its own success? Can it hold a low-profile product launch anymore -- or do we inevitably expect too much?"

Audio Broadcast Flag Introduced in Congress 200

Posted by Zonk from the flagged-for-pvp dept.
Declan McCullagh writes "We found out in mid-2004 that the RIAA was lobbying the FCC for an audio version of the broadcast flag. But because a federal appeals court slapped down the FCC's video version last year, the RIAA needs to seek formal authorization from Congress. That process finally began today when the audio flag bill was introduced. It would hand the FCC the power to set standards and regulate digital and satellite radio receivers, and RIAA Chairman Mitch Bainwol says it strikes "a balance that's good for the music, good for the fans, and good for business." The text of the bill is available online."

W3C is perfectly stable, its taking issue with your non-quoted href attributes. Look at error # 12: "an attribute value must be a literal unless it contains only name characters."

As a general rule, quote all attributes, much more future-proof (XHTML requires all attributes be quoted), and much easier on the eyes when using a syntax-highlighting editor. FYI, I downloaded a snippet of your HTML, quoted the attributes, ran it back through the validator, and it validates (save for the lack of a doctype).

Hope this helps.
