Wall Street Journal: ‘EMI to Sell Much of its Music Without Antipiracy Software’ ★

So it looks like tomorrow’s event is about selling DRM-free music, not the Beatles. (The full article is behind the WSJ’s pay wall, unfortunately.)

Apple and EMI Plan Joint Announcement Monday ★

BBC News:

EMI is to hold a media event on Monday with Apple boss Steve Jobs as special guest, prompting speculation that Beatles songs will finally go online.

In an invite to media sent out on Sunday, EMI said it was announcing an “exciting new digital offering”.

There will also be a “special live performance” at the London event by an unnamed artist or band.

If it’s The Beatles, and Paul McCartney is the unnamed artist who’s going to perform, will Ringo play with him?

And/or perhaps EMI is going to allow Apple to sell their music sans DRM? It’s got to be one or the other — what else would get Steve Jobs to fly to London?

The Museum Plagiarius ★

Mark Pilgrim:

To sum up, you can turn text selection off by setting the unselectable attribute to on, and then you can turn text selection back on by setting the document.expando property to false. No other functionality is affected, and it only works in Internet Explorer.

10-Year Anniversary of Scripting News ★

Dave Winer resets his front page to reflect what it looked like 10 years ago today, the first day of Scripting News. Congratulations, and thanks.
