plasticbag : EMI songs are to be sold on iTunes without DRM and at a higher bit rate for a bit extra cash... - Now this is a significant step in the right direction and I have to confess a surprise!

deusx : PragDave: The RADAR Architecture: RESTful Application, Dumb-Ass Recipient - "Put the main application logic into a RESTful server. This is where all the CRUD-style access to resources takes place. Then, write a second proxy ... When browser-based users need to interact with your resources, they actually connect to this proxy."
