Will There Be a Windows Media Player 12?

April 24, 2009

We first got a look at Windows Media Player 11 back in 06 and of course, it’s become the default player for Vista and still appears in the Win 7 betas but other than that, there’s not been a lot of news or momentum around WMP or the WMP eco-system. At a time when Apple is leveraging iTunes as a core platform for Windows/Mac content management and other services, WMP seems to be quietly withering on the vine (or the OS, as the case may be).

We’ve already heard about the next version of IE, what about the next version WMP? Or will the next version of WMP just be the Zune software?


Apple ][ forever?

I was watching the movie 2010 last night and there was Roy Scheider using an Apple IIc on the beach (with the rare LCD display add on).

Perhaps Roy just has a love old technology as I do. Or just didn’t think a netbook was up to the task even in 2010.

Thanks to @haramati for finding the screen grab.
