Open(?) Mobile Alliance

Open Mobile Alliance requires a paid membership to access most of their technical documentation.

Yes, I know there is a difference between open and free.

But WAP is sinking - trying to keep the documentation secret, surely doesn't help.

Phishy Apple

Downloading Quicktime from Apple.com redirects me to some subdomain of edgesuite.net. Www.edgesuite.net does not exist, edgesuite.net does not have an IP. It is owned by Akamai - is that supposed to be good enough for me to open the firewall?

Apple downloads should come from the apple.com domain - anything else smells too phishy.

Xerox committed to PDF/A ?

Googling for Xerox and PDF/A (archive safe PDF) I found XML or PDF-A for archiving ?

But is Xerox committed to PDF/A? I do have one PDF from a Xerox scanner, failing with Header is not followed by four byte sequence with values greater 127.
