Apparently quite by mistake Hugo Schotman has discovered that iTunes 4.9 not only downloads your audio files but somehow pulled down a PDF. I have a question out to him asking how they are doing this and the mechanics behind it. Imagine having photos or a small video to attach along with your podcast. We know that they are embedding
If their ever was a fair use advocate this guy is one. He is probably one of the most hated hackers by the MPAA. This time he has Google in his sites and has patched the Video Viewer Google released earlier in the week. [Engadget]
I missed this commentary and thought it note worthy to put up now. Doc Searls is always good for some thoughtful commentary! [itgarage.com]
I have precisley about 1100 pieces of mail from all of you in the past 24 hours, and I will do my best to wade through it all in the next couple of days. Meanwhile I will try and get back to the regular Geek News..
First of all, those of you getting our show via a regular podcatcher application keep using it. There are a bunch of reasons why and I will point you at several. [PodNova] [Dave] At least Microsoft offered their name spaces up in creative commons. Apple did not and those of us running iTunes name spaces now are buying into their

I just checked my latest Libsyn Stats and downloads are through the roof. I am getting reports that sites like Dawn and Drew are down, servers have melted all over the podcasting sphere.

First of all I welcome Apple to the Podcast scene, second thing is it is obvious that they talked to very few people in the podcasting community in the way they have implemented things. First of all if you look at the shows that are on the main page a large percentage of these are commercial radio station shows. They

Apple iTunes version 4.9 is on the street having updated it on my Mac Mini I am confused as soon as I click on podcast directory it takes me to the Apple Music Store and not the expected Podcast Directory list? [Apple]
I cover all of the highlights of Gnomedex and then some I wanted to give you all my my perspective. We will be putting up some of the sessions that we felt were very important on the TechPodcasts.com website over the next few days. Special note to Andy and Rob had fun hanging out with you two!

I am very disappointed in the ruling today by the Supreme Court that says file sharing services can be sued even though they are not the ones doing the sharing.
