o Microsoft Asks European Court to Suspend Antitrust Ruling

Luxembourg -- Microsoft appeared before the European Court of First Instance on Thursday and asked for the suspension of the EU's recent antitrust ruling against the U.S.-based software giant. Microsoft lawyers argued that complying with the ruling and sharing software codes with its competitors in Europe would do "irreversible" harm to the company and asked the court to suspend the ruling pending its appeal. "The insights revealed will be revealed forever, regardless of contractual safeguards," Microsoft lawyer Ian Forrester told the Court. "The bell once rung cannot be un-rung." Microsoft also argued that the early implementation of the ruling was not necessary to protect competitors. In March, the European Commission ruled that Microsoft had violated EU antitrust laws and ordered the company to pay a record fine of $600 million, provide rivals with software codes and offer a version of Windows without Media Player. Microsoft is scheduled to appear in court again on Friday.

o Senate Postpones Vote on Controversial File-Sharing Ban

Washington -- The U.S. Senate has postponed a vote on a controversial copyright bill scheduled for Thursday, the "Induce Act," which would effectively ban peer-to-peer file-sharing networks and most any technology that could be used to "induce" users to commit copyright infringement. In recent weeks, the Senate has heard opposition to the proposed legislation voiced by groups including The American Conservative Union, National Taxpayers Union, Public Knowledge and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

o Nintendo: Game Boy Advance SP Sales Up 70% Since Price Cut

Redmond, Wash. -- Nintendo of America said on Thursday that, since slashing the price of its Game Boy Advance SP handheld to $79 on Sept. 2, the device has seen sales jump 70%. The company also announced that its "Pokemon FireRed" and "Pokemon LeafGreen" titles for the device have combined sold more than a million units since their release on Sept. 7. Nintendo credits the success of the Pokemon titles partly to the new Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter, which contains wireless communication technology from Austin, Texas-based Freescale Semiconductor, that lets players trade and battle their Pokemon characters and instant message one another.

o Animation Studio Wild Brain Inks 3D CGI Movie Deal With Dimension Films

San Francisco -- Wild Brain, a creator of animated entertainment, announced on Thursday that it is branching out into CGI animated feature-length films, having signed a multi-year co-production agreement with Miramax's Dimension Films. The company also named former Warner Bros. president of worldwide theatrical business operations Jim Miller as chairman.

o Briefly Noted:

(Irvine, Calif.) Japanese electronics firm Toshiba has announced that it will begin mass producing 0.85-inch hard drives for consumer electronics by the end of the year. Although the capacity of the drives has not yet been decided, they will be even smaller than the 1.8-inch drives Toshiba makes for Apple's iPod and its own Gigabeat players. The company said the new drives will consume half the power and be able to withstand much greater impacts than their larger predecessors. Toshiba also announced a new DVD-R disc that supports Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM), a digital rights management standard that allows copy-once recording of scrambled digital TV broadcasts. To record programs in the DVD-VR format, the 4.7GB discs must be used in tandem with a digital video recorder that supports CPRM as well.

(San Francisco) Wired News on Thursday reported on "Debate Facts," an Internet rapid-response effort organized by the Bush campaign to rebut any challenges or misstatements made by Democrat John Kerry during tonight's presidential debate. Debate Facts will provide a live feed to about 5,000 conservative blogs, as well as to the traditional news media. "Our rapid-response effort is based on the premise that no attack or no misstatement will go unchallenged," Debate Facts director Michael Turk told Wired News. Other than live commentary on Kerry's campaign blog, it appears that the official Democratic online commentary on the debate will come in the form of an email sent once the debate concludes.
