Pixar Profits Higher Than Expected ★: Pixar’s quarterly statement included the news that they’d sold 125,000 short films through ITMS already.
Theocacao: Tradeoffs in Video Downloads ★: Scott Stevenson:

Several media outlets have compared Comcast’s $1 fee to the $2 price at iTunes, but practically no one has mentioned that you actually get to keep the videos you download from iTunes.
Sony Exec on Rootkits ★: Thomas Hesse, President of Sony’s Global Digital Business, in an interview on NPR: “Most people, I think, don’t even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?”
NBC and CBS to Sell Reruns for 99 Cents Each ★: CBS is selling episodes through Comcast video-on-demand services, but only in markets that aren’t served by CBS affiliates; NBC is selling episodes through DirectTV. Neither will reach as many people as ABC does through ITMS.
iSquint ★: Freeware (donations accepted) video conversion app for iPods. (Via 2lmc Spool.)
Aardvark’d ★: Documentary about four interns given 12 weeks to design, implement, and ship Fog Creek Copilot, a new product for Joel Spolsky’s company. Paul Graham and my friend Aaron Swartz make guest appearances.
Rich Text Editing With Dojo ★: This seems to work better, especially with Safari, than any other WYSIWYG-style browser-based editor I’ve seen. Impressive.
