Netgear's got a new
"Wireless Travel Router," the WGR101, a pint-sized 802.11g device
designed to provide WiFi in hotel rooms or anywhere else you might
need it. A built in "double firewall" provides security in addition to
64 or 128-bit WEP and (when they get the drivers done, it looks like)
WPA upgradeable. No idea what sort of coverage range it will provide,
but if you need a WiFi router you can toss in a bag, the 0.7 x 2.3 x
3.4 inch WGR101 can be had for about 100 bucks.

Intl MPAA/RIAA to ISPs: cut your own
throats
04/08/2005 05:28 AMCory Doctorow:
The MPA and IFPI (international versions of the MPAA and RIAA,
respectively), has produced a report describing the code of conduct
they'd like ISPs to embrace -- basically, they want ISPs to act like
AOL in the old days. Any ISP that adopts this code of conduct is
cutting its own throat -- seriously, this thing is a frigging
embarrassment, it really makes the IFPI/MPA people look like they live
in Narnia. The MPA/IFPI people I've met on the road are generally
lightweights, prone to telling easily countered lies, ignorant of the
law, fumble-tongued and ham-fisted. This report tells me that my
impression of them was dead on. Here are some callouts from CoCo:
* "remove references and links to sites or services that do not
respect the copyrights of rights holders".'
* "require subscribers to consent in advance to the disclosure of
their identity in response to a reasonable complaint of intellectual
property infringement by an established right holder defence
organisation or by right holder(s) whose intellectual property is
being infringed"'
* terminate contracts of recidivist'
* implement instant messaging to communicate with infringers'
* implement filtering technologies to block sites that are
'substantially dedicated to illegal file sharing or download
services.'
* voluntarily store data for copyright enforcement...
"To enforce terms of service that prohibit a subscriber from operating
a server, or from consuming excessive amounts of bandwidth where such
consumption is a good indicator of infringing activities."

Pearson Intl Airport threatens to sue
websites that take its name in vain
11/13/2003 07:35 PMPearson International Airport, of Toronto, Ontario, has threatened
legal action against a website for mentioning its name. The site in
question is urinal.net, a user-submitted gallery of pissoir photos --
including a couple from Pearson. Inexplicably, Pearson has the surplus
budget laying about with which to pay some puffed up dillweed to send
letters to urinal-gallery sites, threatening to sue them for illegally
(sic) putting the name of the airport on said site. I think that some
goddamned budget-cuts are in order at Pearson.
The GTAA [Greater Toronto Airports Authority] would like to request
that you remove Toronto Pearson International Airport from the title
of the page below, including the removal of Toronto Lester B. Pearson
International Airport from within the page. If you choose to keep the
photos, we just request that you remove the text below in red. We
appreciate your cooperation. We will check back in a week to ensure
that this information has been removed. If at that time it has not,
we will forward it to the Legal department for subsequent action.

Diller To Show IAC Is No Travel Company
By Creating IAC's Travel Company
12/22/2004 01:16 AMBarry Diller has done a good job buying up various online "middleman"
companies in a variety of spaces from travel to social networking to
dating. However, he says too many people view InterActiveCorp as a
travel company and that's making it more difficult to acquire
non-travel companies. So, in order to
prove that he's not
running a travel company...
he's
going to show them what it means to really run a travel
company. That is, he's going to spin off all of IAC's travel
properties, including Expedia, Hotwire, TravelNow and Hotels.com, into
one company (which he'll still run), and keep all the other properties
as IAC. While it may be a good idea to realize the value of those
other properties, from the beginning Diller kept talking about the
synergies of having all of these properties under the same umbrella.
Apparently, those synergies only go so far when the stock price isn't
as high as he had hoped.

Blogging/Roller talk last night in
Orlando
Blogging/Roller talk last night in
Orlando
12/19/2004 03:30 PM I gave my blogging and Roller talk to
the combined Orlando and Gainesville Java User Groups last
night. I think the talk was pretty well received among the 30 or 40
Java users in attendance, but I've only given a half dozen
presentations so I felt a little wobbly. There were a couple of times
where I could not find quite the right words to complete a thought,
but overall I think I'm improving at public speaking (I just noticed
that Sun-U offers a course called "executive presentations" -- maybe I
should sign up for that).
The talk was really two talks in one, a blogging talk and a Roller
talk. I call the blogging talk "Blogging: What's the Big Deal." It
covers the basics of blogging and includes newsfeeds, newsfeed
readers, web services API, blogs at work, K-logs, Cluetrain in a
nutshell, and blogs for community building. In my opinion, the big
deal is simple: blogging technologies make it easy for people and
programs to read and write the web. That empowers writers of all
varieties and creates lots of opportunities for software developers.
The Roller talk is designed to give potential Roller users an
overview of Roller features, the status of the Roller project itself,
and Roller architecture/internals. I also include some lessons learned
about performance and scalability. The Roller talk is informative, but
much less thought provoking than the blogging talk and that was
reflected in the number of questions I recieved.
The questions were pretty interesting and almost all concerned
blogs at work. Here are the questions and answers I remember:
Q: What role does ownership play in blogs and wikis? Is it
really important that you put your name on your blog?. Ownership
and identity play an important role in blogs and wikis, but more so
blogs. Putting your name on your blog is how you get credit for your
writing and the cool links you are pointing out. That said, anonymous
bloggers play an important role too. Anonymous bloggers can safely
speak more freely than named bloggers and this can be very important
in some situations. Anonymous bloggers get credit too and can gain
trust and authority by writing well, being honest, gaining readers,
and earning links from other bloggers.
Q: Isn't there a risk that employees will be judged by the
quantity and quality of their blogs, and we will therefore
discriminate against introverts, people who'd rather work than write
about working, and folks who's blogs are just not that cool? I
guess there is some danger of this. As we do now, we'll have to trust
folks to understand that people are different. Some people are quiet
and private and prefer to work rather than to write and talk about
work. I think this is mitigated by the fact that some folks who are
introverts in a social setting might not be so introverted when online
or writing in their blogs.
Q: I can understand allowing your employees to blog publicly,
but was is the benefit of supporting them by providing them with
company servers and support to do so? This question came before I
got to my Cluetrain in a nutshell slide, so my answer was that
providing employees with public blogs is a way to encourage them to
blog and once I explain the Cluetrain you'll understand why I say that
is a good thing.
Q: Blogs are essentially UseNet newsgroups "minus minus" without
easy way to search all posts on a topic and without threading.
Usually, with a new communications medium we move forward, not
backwards. Are bloggers concerned about that? Yes, bloggers are
concerned with this and there are efforts to make it easier to search
blogs (e.g. Feedster) and to support
threading of blog-to-blog "conversations" (e.g. permalink based
threading in BlogLines and SharpReader). But blogs are a
different medium and they don't replace newsgroups and forums.
Subscribing to a blog is different that subscribing to a newsgroup.
With newsgroups, you subscribe to a topic but with blogs you typically
subscribe to a person or a group of people and topics can vary widely.
I think that is a good thing; people are more interesting than
topics.
Q: Is it possible for a blogger to sell subscriptions to his
blog content? I admit that I have not been following the blogging
for money discussions very closely, but after some mumbles I managed
to come up with a couple of answers.
- Offer a free newsfeed to alert subscribers of new content, but
require them to login to their non-free user account to view they full
content.
- Use a Podcast approach to automatically download newly available
content to user, but the downloaded content is in a password protected
format.
- Require login to access your newsfeeds, but users would need a
newsreader that can handle authentication.
But, newsfeeds are lossy aren't they. I mean, what happens if a
user is offline for a couple of days and the user's newsreader misses
some entries because they have already scrolled off the bottom of the
newsfeed? Users that are paying for a subscription are going to much
less forgiving about missing a couple of items.
That's all the questions I can remember. Slides should be available
soon in PDF form on the Orlando JUG site.
