Just so it doesn't slip off your radar: the Google Books thing is still trundling along.

Cheap Alprazolam from mexico, Because it is, as I noted when I first started looking at it, basically very boring, it's apt to drop off one's to-do list. However, it is also very important, Indiana IN Ind. , so I'm just nudging myself - and you lot - to keep an eye on it. By the way, I'm hedging all this with my usual disclaimers of inexpertise. You want real advice, cheap Alprazolam online without prescription, ask a (very expensive and expert) lawyer.

The court set a deadline of November 9th for the parties to produce a new proposal for the Settlement. (Hey, I just thought: wouldn't it be great if they just had to litigate the damn thing and get on with life, cheap Alprazolam from mexico. Minnesota MN Minn. , Not that that would achieve anything at all, really, because a litigation wouldn't give anyone any of the things they want out of the situation, so - gasp - there might have to be actual legislation instead...) By the way, buy Alprazolam overnight delivery, that link is worth reading for the weirdly dissociated quote from Google's Eric Schmidt at the end. It's almost worthy of a Whitehouse Press Secretary: guys, Oregon OR Ore. , I don't know what you're all so upset about, everything's totally copacetic in Afghanistan, you know, and we're gonna be done there, New Hampshire NH N.H. , like, tomorrow. Cheap Alprazolam online, Dude. Calm down. Cheap Alprazolam from mexico, We're there because it's what's best.

Honestly, the longer I look at this stuff, acheter Alprazolam discount, the more I believe that Google have no idea how heavy is their footfall. They are Godzilla, Georgia GA Ga. , and they still think they're Moe the Iguana. Since this topic is not terribly exciting, here's Moe:

And here, for contrast, Cheapest Alprazolam, is Not-Moe:

"Hey, order Alprazolam from canada, like: where's everybody goin'. I jus' came to say hi!"

Anyway.

There was a lot of rumble and growl at the Frankfurt Book Fair about the GBS. Order Alprazolam online, Non-UK European publishers appear to be increasingly militant - and so do non-UK governments. Exactly why our government has actually nothing at all to say is an intriguing mystery, cheap Alprazolam from mexico.

Google continued to insist - rather plaintively - that they were not entering publishing. I'm fascinated by that posture, because it seems to me that if they're not, Nebraska NE Nebr. , they - and Amazon - are proposing to engage with publishing in a most parasitic way. They will harvest the fruit of publishing's labour, Kjøp Discount Alprazolam, but avoid the necessary gardening (marketing, editing, selection, blah), billige Alprazolam apotek. Clever business model, up to a point - but bad citizenship.

More generally...

There seem to have been some interesting discussions about eBooks in general and - inevitably - DRM and piracy Cheap Alprazolam from mexico, . Alprazolam prices, Upside: there's a general sense that the industry is better positioned to deal with the shift to digital than the music industry was, and there's a willingness to make cool stuff like booksharing easier (Barnes & Noble's Nook has a share function). On the other hand, despite the fact that it doesn't really work and costs money, Alprazolam online kopen, there's a strong allegiance to DRM still kicking around - possibly because many of the people brought in to work on digitisation in publishing are actually from the music business.

I'm really sorry not to have got myself to TOC, Order Alprazolam overnight delivery, and I hope I can be there next year. It looks to have been fascinating.

Prize fight?

Google, of course, has just launched - well, sort of launched - Google Editions, cheap Alprazolam from mexico. When I flagged the upcoming Apple tablet as the possible big change to digital publishing (because Apple have quietly allowed in-app sales - click only if you care), a couple of people objected that GE was more important than a 'shiny new toy', buy Alprazolam online legally. What interests me about the arrival is Apple is that it's never just a shiny new toy with them - although let's not, ever, Alprazolam for sale, underestimate the power of Apple to take a clunky beige thing and turn it into next week's iconic must-have object - it's a distribution system which content-providers are already comfortable with. Google Editions is content, and lots of it, and that's great, District of Columbia DC D.C. . In combination with Android - the basis for the Nook, by the way, Iowa IA , though for some reason the Nook won't let you make full use of the OS for apps and suchlike - it's a good setup. Cheap Alprazolam from mexico, I think Apple has the edge, though. Apart from anything else, people are already making next gen eBooks for the iPhone [WIRED video]. iTunes/iPhone has a huge presence, Alprazolam discount, style, and a year or more in developer time. Buy Alprazolam cheap, Tough to beat. Meanwhile, GE is still in the 'almost ready' category.

The other entrant, of course, is the Kindle - but the specs for the International are so bleak that I haven't bought one, cheap Alprazolam from mexico. And as Wired observes, who wants to read a magazine on a B&W display if you can read it on a giant iPhone's colour touchscreen. That of course is Apple's other secret strength - they're fostering the rebirth of typography. Which is a huge deal, and something most people never really pay conscious attention to. But if you pick up a copy of the extraordinary Elements of Typgraphic Style, you'll start to see how important it can be.

And finally, back to GBS

To finish off, here's a great textbite (yes, I neologise, bwahahahaha) from James Grimmelmann:

if the legal system is to approve the revised settlement, it must do so on the basis of a principle that (a) justifies the proposed arrangement, (b) applies to others who are similarly situated, and (c) has recognizable, enforceable limits. That principle is what we should be evaluating, not just the settlement itself.

I hope that such a principle exists. I do not believe that the parties have yet provided one. But the rule of law demands no less.
