IBM, Fox Working To Make TV Content Less
Useful
04/18/2005 01:59 AM
It's amazing how much effort some companies are going through to make their products less useful to customers. The latest is an effort by IBM and Fox Entertainment Group (patent pending, of course...) to take the broadcast flag (which might not be legal) one step further and add the ability to block transfers outside of a local viewing area. Now, there is some good in hearing that this is happening -- because it shows that the industry at least admits that there are some cases in which sending a TV show over the internet makes sense, even if it's very limited. In fact, the main reason they're working on this is because some were afraid that the all out "no copying over the internet" broadcast flag would prevent people from sending a TV show from their DVR to their computer, or from one TV to another, or some other similar local area transfer. Of course, an easier way to handle that is to just remove the broadcast flag altogether, saving not only the time and the money, but the annoyance from viewers who are trying to do something legitimate and are stymied by restrictive technology. Once again, though, it's worth pointing out that the TV they're talking about is broadcast TV which is (oh yeah!) already being sent out for free over the airwaves and which is supported by commercials. In other words, this is TV that the companies should want to make as easy to share as possible because it drives more people to watch, more people to see the commercials, and, thus, more advertisers interested in buying ad space.

Why Charging For Newspaper Content

Why Charging For Newspaper Content
Online Doesn't Make Sense
11/07/2003 04:16 AM
One of the arguments that shows up here repeatedly is on the backwardness of local newspapers charging for online content. There are a number of reasons why it's a bad idea - from the level of taking yourself out of the online discussion and believing that walled garden content can survive to misunderstanding the very basic economics of the internet. Still, many newspapers are trying to do so, and some even believe that it's going well. Along comes Vin Crosbie, who knows both the newspaper business and the online content world, to smack a little sense into them. The Albuquerque Journal explained why they thought they were brilliant for creating a "successful" operation charging for their online content, and Crosbie picks apart the argument, bit by bit, and explains how they're actually losing money on this plan - and how all their other examples of newspapers charging for online content are bad (or irrelevant) examples. If you're interested in the economics of online content, it's worth a read.

Building accessible tables. 09/30/2002 01:52 PM
CSS and XHTML have given tables a pretty rough ride in recent times. Of course, this is the fault of just about all web developers who have at some point in their career used them for laying out page elements. This article is not about using tables for layout. It is about how to use tables to display information in an accessible manner. Use XHTML and CSS all you want for layout, but if you have information relationships to display, use tables and use them well.

Many developers still view graphics and accessibility as being on opposing ends of the web development scale. The truth is that including graphics in your documents does not mean your page has to be any less accessible. In fact graphics can be used to enhance the accessibility of a page. There are, however, a few key techniques that you can employ to ensure that you don't have to construct alternative "Text-Only" documents.

Building Accessible HTML Tables for the
Disabled


Building Accessible HTML Tables for the
Disabled
10/01/2002 12:25 PM
Blind and other severely vision impaired users rely on assistive technologies to render web content. All text can be fed through a screen reader or refreshable braille display to be presented to the user. However, despite containing text, the table above could make a real mess of things without a few extra behind the scenes accessibility enhancements. To an assistive browser our table could well look like this:
Time Planned Task Preferred Task What I actually did
10 - 12 Catch up on replying to my emails. Have a lie in. Surfed
aimlessly.
12-1 Have Lunch. Have Lunch. Had Breakfast.
1-5 Finish that project. Go to video store. Caught up on my emails.

Ok, we can still kind of make a little sense of it. That is because we can see it. A blind user can't easily scan back up and check what the third piece of information relates to. Was it what I actually did, or what I would have preferred to do? This is why we need to create relationships within the code of our table. Thankfully, from HTML4.0 a bucketful of accessibility enhancements were introduced to enable the conscientious developer to do this. -- Tim Roberts
