APPLE'S NEW SUBSCRIPT EDDY CUE

Apple announced Tuesday a new subscription service that allows publishers of any “content-based apps” to offer their customers recurring payment plans. The announcement comes just weeks after the unveiling of News Corp’s The Daily, the first-ever iPad-only newspaper, which uses the subscription service.

The subscription deal doesn’t just include magazine and newspaper apps, however. Apps that offer music and video content will be able to offer the subscription service as well. DT

TakePlace was made with you in mind It's about ideas and innovation, creative perspectives, and solutions. We're advocates for change, because change needs friends. We explore complex systems, adaptive agents, modeling, simulation, artificial life, and complex (information, biological, and social) networks. We especially focus on the Web as a complex information network in which we leave abundant traces of our social and semantic activities: what we do, what we are interested in, whom we talk to, what knowledge we acquire and contribute. Our research spans from modeling the dynamic processes that occur on the Web (how information networks grow and evolve, how individual and collective traffic patterns emerge, how attention bursts are generated and shaped by social and search tools) to designing tools that mine the Web to build better search, navigation, management, and recommendation tools (where ‘better’ means more intelligent, autonomous, robust, personalized, contextual, scalable, adaptive, and so on).
