Microsoft has revealed a little more of the Windows 8 Store experience, with screenshots and video of browsing the store, application search, and the install and upgrade experience.
The store will be the sole source for non-enterprise users to get Metro applications; it will also include links, but no purchasing or installation, to certain desktop applications. The post describes the major parts of the store—browsing, searching, the descriptions for each application—and showed how application pages will pick up their particular application's branding.
The store will handle installation and updating for Metro applications. Updates will be automatically downloaded in the background—though only when using an unmetered Internet connection—and installed on-demand.
Recognizing the growth in multi-PC households, the store also handles reacquisition of previously purchased/downloaded applications on different PCs. Apps can be installed on up to five machines, and the store can show you all the apps you've bought or installed on other systems plus allow you to install them all together on the current machine. Applications can even implement roaming, allowing not just the app itself, but also all its states and settings to be installed on a different computer.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) delayed the PROTECT IP Act in the Senate by placing a hold on the legislation last year. That hold kept the bill from coming to the consideration of the full Senate after it was unanimously voted out of the Judiciary Committee—and gave time for the Internet to rally against it. The delay proved useful; Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) today canceled a planned vote to end Wyden's hold, one scheduled for next Tuesday. PROTECT IP appears, in its current form, to be dead.
I spoke to Wyden yesterday about his opposition to the bill, and about his strategy for moving forward.

Would you like to buy a Sony product? By the end of this trailer I'm sure your answer is no, but they may get some of you. Sony / Screen Gems has released the first official trailer via Yahoo for Paul W.S. Anderson's latest sequel in this undead video game franchise, Resident Evil: Retribution, the fifth movie in the franchise. Milla Jovovich is back as Alice and this looks action-packed, but it's also half of an commercial for Sony and Sony products, which kind of sucks. I also don't have much care or concern for this franchise, just like Underworld as well, but the action footage did look a bit better than I was expecting. Take a look! ›››

The number of high-quality services that "compete with free" is growing—and some of the credit is certainly due to the major content conglomerates, which have made it easier to license and use their digital material. As a recent subscriber to Rdio, it's hard for me to imagine anyone who would even want to go to the hassle of pirating music when 13 million tracks are ready to be dialed up in instant, high-quality streams, complete with album art. For $4.99 a month—the cost of the Web-only unlimited subscription—you would have be one cheap bastard with way too much time on your hands to scour P2P networks instead.
Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Spotify, and iTunes are all terrific services that have been well-used in my household; we've even rented HD movies through the Xbox. All provide a much better experience than the older one of driving to a store and browsing the shelves. When done well, such services are the best way to make piracy irrelevant. We need even more of them.
Still, pirate sites remain. If rightsholders want their material removed from such sites, we think that's their decision, and that they should have basic tools to help that happen. If they choose not to use them, or to monetize their own creativity in some other way, more power to them.

The special interests behind the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect IP Act are in full retreat, throwing the bills' most controversial provisions overboard in a desperate attempt to stop the entire bill from sinking. Realizing that proposals to create a DNS-based blacklisting scheme had become politically radioactive, the bills' sponsors—Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), respectively—have pledged to drop these provisions. On Tuesday, even the Motion Picture Association of America declared that DNS filtering was "off the table" for this year's legislation.
So with the DNS-blocking provisions dead, are today's protests much ado about nothing? Not by a long shot. While the DNS language posed the gravest danger to free speech online, the bills are full of provisions that trample free speech, due process, and online innovation.

Earlier this month, I detailed at some length why claims about the purported economic harms of piracy, offered by supporters of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and PROTECT-IP Act (PIPA), ought to be treated with much more skepticism than they generally get from journalists and policymakers. My own view is that this ought to be rather secondary to the policy discussion: SOPA and PIPA would be ineffective mechanisms for addressing the problem, and a terrible idea for many other reasons, even if the numbers were exactly right. No matter how bad last season's crops were, witch burnings are a poor policy response. Fortunately, legislators finally seem to be cottoning on to this: SOPA now appears to be on ice for the time being, and PIPA's own sponsors are having second thoughts about mucking with the Internet's Domain Name System.
