o Amazon.com Launches "Unbox"
Video Download Service
Seattle - Amazon.com on Thursday announced the launch of a
video download service, Amazon Unbox, which will offer a selection
of thousands of TV shows, movies and other video content from more
than 30 studio and network partners. The service claims DVD-quality
picture for video content that can be purchased on one PC and
downloaded to another, and also transferred to Windows
Media-compatible portable media players. Unbox uses progressive
downloading technology, so most broadband users will be able to
begin viewing videos within five minutes of ordering, rather than
after the entire file arrives. Initial network content partners for
Unbox include CBS, Fox, BBC, Cartoon Network, Comedy Central and
MTV, while studio partners include Fox, Paramount, Sony Pictures,
Universal, Warner Bros., Lionsgate and MGM. TV shows offered on
Unbox, such as "CSI," "24" and "Star Trek," will sell for $1.99 per
episode. Movies will sell for between $7.99 and $14.99, and rent for
$3.99, with titles available at launch to include "Brokeback
Mountain," "V for Vendetta," "Walk the Line," "Chinatown" and "Ben
Hur." Amazon is offering a free trial of the Unbox service, in the
form of a free TV show download for users. "Now Amazon.com customers
can choose to get videos delivered to their doorstep from Amazon's
DVD store or choose Amazon Unbox and download DVD-quality picture
movies or television shows to their PC," said Bill Carr,
Amazon.com's vice president of digital media.

Facebook Social Network Faces Privacy Backlash Over New Features
San Francisco - Facebook, the second-largest social
networking site with 9.5 million primarily college and high school
student members, is facing a backlash after it added features that
automatically notify friends when changes are made to their
profiles. Reuters reported that over 600,000 Facebook members had
signed a petition by midday on Thursday, asking the company to
discontinue its "News Feed" and "Mini-Feed" features -- which notify
friends when a member posts new photos, joins a group, or leaves a
blog comment. Many members see the notifications as too intrusive.
"You used to do something in Facebook and your friends would happen
to see it. Now, you do something and people have to see it. Your
actions are being announced with a bullhorn," student and
SaveFacebook.com organizer Kiyoshi Martinez told Wired News. Mark
Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Palo Alto, Calif.-based Facebook,
acknowledged the outcry but made no indication of plans to remove
the new features. "Calm. Down. Breathe. We hear you," Zuckerberg
wrote in a note to Facebook members. "None of your information is
visible to anyone who couldn't see it before the changes. Nothing
you do is being broadcast; rather, it is being shared with people
who care about what you do -- your friends."

Google Launches News Archive Search
Mountain View, Calif. - Google has launched a new service

The Washington Post and Newsweek. The index also includes articles
from news aggregators like AccessMyLibrary.com, Thomson Gale,
Factiva, HighBeam Research and LexisNexis. Google said it is working
to include more international news sources, and plans to introduce
the service in other countries as well.

Raises $11.6 Million
Menlo Park, Calif. - Promptu, a developer of voice-powered
