The Arts and Crafts Movment of Webcasting
Pay attention to the minor details to improve streaming
by Stephen Schleicher

I am a big fan of the Arts and Crafts movement that was popular in the United States of America from the 1870’s-1930’s. There is something nice about the simple yet detailed style of the furniture and architecture of the time. By giving the same attention to detail in creating a webcast, you can perfect your style of streaming video.

Prodigal Mac
Stranger in a Strange Land
How a 'quick trip' to the Apple Store left me considerably lighter in the wallet
by Kevin Schmitt

Since there are only a smattering of Apple-branded stores strewn across this great land of ours, I imagine that a good many of you out there have not had the opportunity to actually set foot inside of one. Oh, I'm sure you've seen pictures or heard stories, some of which have grown to mythic proportions. "Steve Jobs personally mans the cash register at every store!" "They have 400,000 software titles just for the Mac there!"

Digital Abstract Expressionism
A conversation with artist Jean Detheux
by David Nagel

Somewhere in a small village on a small farm in a rather remote part of eastern Canada, there lives an artist with his family. I'm still not entirely clear on exactly where he lives—somewhere roughly between Montréal and Toronto—but I am sure that there isn't regular mail service and that when foul weather hits I don't hear from him for a week or so, as preparations have to be made for taking care of the food, most of which he and his family grow themselves.

What's the Big Deal About Digital Content Copyright Protection?
It's a more difficult issue than it might seem
by Guillaume Mazieres

In talking to people at trade shows, user conferences and in channel partner stores, there are a few common questions that are always raised: "When is writable/rewritable DVD going to be cheap enough for me to use at home?" "Is Hollywood raising all of the copyright stink just to make sure I can't copy their movies?" "When will it be possible for me to copy movies?" "When are they going to finalize all of the DVD copyright issues?"

IEEE 1394 Making Strides in Tough Climate Says In-Stat
35 million PC-based and Consumer Electronics Products Now Equipped With IEEE 1394

Already a staple in many PC models and peripherals, the IEEE 1394 high-speed digital interface is making gains in consumer electronics markets, according to Cahners In-Stat Group. In 2000, over 35 million PC-based and consumer electronics products were equipped with IEEE 1394, and the high-tech market research firm projects that number will exceed 200 million by 2005.

OS X for Designers
Is it time to make the switch?
by David Nagel

If you're anything like me, you were out early Saturday morning—despite the throbbing pain in your head and the cottony taste in your mouth—rushing to the nearest computer retailer to pick up the latest release of Mac OS X, version 10.1. I know that not all of you are Mac psychofanatics and that a pretty decent-sized chunk of you don't even use a Mac at all. Nevertheless, Mac users do make up significantly more than half of the the total users in this particular creative space, so the question of switching is a relevant one.

Windows XP:
A Polished XPerience
by Charlie White

Windows XP now ventures out into the world, and we’ve been running it through its paces here at Digital Media Net’s Midwest Test Facility. We’ve been following XP’s development since its first Betas, and now that we have our hands on the shipping code, we’ve gone all-out to see if it’s something that would be helpful to digital content creators. We installed it on three desktop machines and a notebook, then edited video with it, and put it through every trial and tribulation we could muster. What’s our verdict?
