Survey Hints at iTunes Gift Cards for Specific Shows and Movies
An iTunes customer survey suggests that Apple is looking at selling iTunes gift cards for specific music, shows and movies. A nice branding idea, but I could definitely see some tragedies coming out of this—your mom buys you a card for the this entire season of Heroes, but halfway through it, you give up because you just can't take Hiro and Ando's ineptitude anymore. Or, your girlfriend gets one for Sex in the City even though she'll never watch it on iTunes, and then you can't use it for something better, like watching George Lucas rape Indiana Jones on South Park. Like I said, tragedies. - Thanks Alaska!

Vudu HDX 1080p Movie Downloads Reviewed: "Insanely Sharp"
Vudu's new HDX 1080p movies—promised to be "Blu-ray quality"—go live today. David Pogue has the first look, and while HDX movies are not literally Blu-ray quality (which would be an impossible with our crappy broadband), they are indeed "insanely sharp" and compared to other movie downloads, it's like "seeing a movie on VHS videotape and DVD side by side."

Norway Forgets Who They're Dealing With, Demands Apple Open Up FairPlay DRM (Again)
Norway is ostensibly big on neutrality, even when it gets them invaded and pulverized, so it's not surprisingly it hates Apple's FairPlay DRM, which only lets songs play on iPods. It even has a law requiring that consumers be able to use digital media with whatever device they choose, which FairPlay obviously pees all over. After a lovely chat with Apple in February, not much has changed, so gentle Norway is going to play war against Apple over FairPlay for the rest of hapless Europe. More »

1Gbps Fiber-Optic Service Arrives in Japan on October 1
Near-instantaneous porn downloads will soon be possible in Japan thanks to a speedy new, widely available, fiber-optic service from ISP KDDI. The service will offer upload and download speeds (each way) of up to one gigabit per second. The service goes online October 1 for single family homes and low-rise apartment buildings for about $56 a month, and will be considerably higher than the current 100 megabits per second norm most Japanese citizens already enjoy today. If the outcome of the 2008 election doesn't get me to move to another country, these currently untouchable download speeds just might. [Japan Today]
