– [Video profile: Marnie Webb of NetSquared](https://web.archive.org/web/20090930002249/http://www.netsquared.org/blog/eddie-codel/video-profile-marnie-webb) (I spoke to Marnie recently about NetSquared, which is all about empowering non-profit organizations with the use of computers and networked technologies. More soon on that…)

– [More speculation about an iTunes for movies](https://web.archive.org/web/20090930002249/http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=1567) (AppleInsider uncovers a survey about a potential “iTunes movie service” — most analysts think such a thing is coming soon from Apple)
