  • ( ) A back-to-the-future strategy for SaaS

    One of the potentially hottest items in the software aisle of US electronics retailers this Christmas season is, if you ask Santa's load-bearing reindeer, just an empty box.

    .Mac (pronounced 'dot-Mac'), an online service from Apple, has been the second most-popular Mac offering at retail so far this year, according to The NPD Group.

    For US$99, buyers get one year's access to Web-based storage, e-mail and address book syncing between their iMacs and iPhones, among other features.

    Still, customers may be taken a bit aback when they open up the .Mac box and discover "there's nothing in there other than a license key," said Chris Swenson, an analyst at the NPD Group.

    The conventional wisdom is that software as a service (SaaS) is finishing what piracy, open-source and the Web started: killing the packaged software market. More>>

  • ( ) Emma Thompson touts chemistry with Hoffman, need for better kids ...

    "It's a grown-up love story," she told The Associated Press on Saturday in Davos, where she was attending the World Economic Forum's annual meeting, adding that she simply loves acting with Hoffman.

    "Sometimes you just have a proper chemistry with some actors and I had it with Tony Hopkins and I have it with Dustin," she said.

    The film, likely to be released later this year, isn't the first time the pair have worked together. The last time was the 2006 literature as reality film "Stranger than Fiction," with Thompson playing a writer.

    It's a role the British actress is familiar with, given that she received an Academy Award in 1996 for best adapted screenplay for her adaptation of Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility." Thompson also adapted author Christianna Brand's "Nurse Matilda" books into the 2005 film "Nanny McPhee."

    The 1992 best actress Academy Award winner was drawn to the books and made the film because it provided her the opportunity to work on a movie that appealed to children and their families, too. More>>

  • ( ) Kindle that reading glow

    E-books made their debut about a decade ago, with confident predictions that paper pages would soon be considered quaint. Imagine a device called a "reader," about the size of a Danielle Steele novel, which could hold up to 20 volumes. The text was downloaded from the publisher to a personal computer, and then to the reading device, where one could adjust the font size and glare to one's individual need or taste. The industry was abuzz: No less a luminary than Stephen King published an e-novel, to great fanfare. "In 10 years," I heard one e-publisher say, while hoisting a traditional volume, "what need will anyone have for this?"

    Hubris has its cost, and e-publishing lost that round. And the next, and the next, as the future never did seem to arrive. Last year's Sony Reader debuted in time for Christmas (how many debuts did that make?) and failed to revolutionize the reading habits of America. More>>
