Washington Post Rounds Up How to Find Hotspots

Washington Post Rounds Up How to Find
Hotspots
04/24/2004 12:57 PM

The Washington Post presents a summary of advice on finding hotspots, signing up for service: Daniel Greenberg points out the dilemma of Wi-Fi hotspots: if you don't know where they are, how do you find them? He mentions our partner Jiwire along with its free downloadable hotspot finding application (Mac, Windows, Linux), and Jim Sullivan's excellent Wi-Fi Free Spot directory. Greenberg also runs through options for paying (or not paying) for service at hotels, coffeeshops, and other venues....

Cell Phones Find Hotspots


Cell Phones Find Hotspots 09/17/2004 12:24 PM
A new service in the UK lets Wi-Fi users find nearby hotspots with their cell phones: By sending a text message to a certain mailbox, users will receive a list of the nearest Wi-Fi hotspots. The service offers up hotspots that are near the cell site that the user's phone is communicating with. This is a fantastic offering for finding hotspots in an area users may not be familiar with. There are plenty of hotspot locators online, but they require users to investigate hotspots in the area in advance. For all the procrastinators out there or for folks who may find themselves unexpectedly in need of a hotspot, the cell phone locator service is great. Now this company just needs to start offering the service in the United States…...

The Washington Post gets it


The Washington Post gets it 06/09/2004 06:03 AM
Much of what civil libertarians feared about this administration turns out to be have been true. As the Washington Post points out in today's lead editorial, Legalizing Torture: This week, thanks again to an independent press, we have begun to learn the deeply disturbing truth about the legal opinions that the Pentagon and the Justice Department seek to keep secret. According to copies leaked to several newspapers, they lay out a shocking and immoral set of justifications for torture. In a paper prepared last year under the direction of the Defense Department's chief counsel, and first disclosed by the Wall Street Journal, the president of the United States was declared empowered to disregard U.S. and international law and order the torture of foreign prisoners. Moreover, interrogators following the president's orders were declared immune from punishment. Torture itself was narrowly redefined, so that techniques that inflict pain and mental suffering could be deemed legal. All this was done as a prelude to the designation of 24 interrogation methods for foreign prisoners -- the same techniques, now in use, that President Bush says are humane but refuses to disclose. There is no justification, legal or moral, for the judgments made by Mr. Bush's political appointees at the Justice and Defense departments. Theirs is the logic of criminal regimes, of dictatorships around the world that sanction torture on grounds of "national security." For decades the U.S. government has waged diplomatic campaigns against such outlaw governments -- from the military juntas in Argentina and Chile to the current autocracies in Islamic countries such as Algeria and Uzbekistan -- that claim torture is justified when used to combat terrorism. The news that serving U.S. officials have officially endorsed principles once advanced by Augusto Pinochet brings shame on American democracy -- even if it is true, as the administration maintains, that its theories have not been put into practice. Even on paper, the administration's reasoning will provide a ready excuse for dictators, especially those allied with the Bush administration, to go on torturing and killing detainees. Perhaps the president's lawyers have no interest in the global impact of their policies -- but they should be concerned about the treatment of American servicemen and civilians in foreign countries. Before the Bush administration took office, the Army's interrogation procedures -- which were unclassified -- established this simple and sensible test: No technique should be used that, if used...

The Washington Post does RSS -- badly


The Washington Post does RSS -- badly 04/16/2004 03:44 AM
I grew up in Washington, DC, and even after 20 years on the West Coast, I am used to reading the Washington Post daily, even as it has slowly transformed itself from the anti-establishment hero of Watergate in my youth to the neoconservative Republican paper of today. I have displayed its headlines on my personal news page for years, and use the headlines to pick which stories and columns to read online every day. Today the format of the headlines on my site changed drastically. The good news? The Washington Post finally started offering official Washington Post RSS feeds. No longer do I have to rely on Mike Krus' excellent NewsisFree services to get Washington Post headlines. I can go directly to the horse's mouth. The bad news? The RSS feeds are crippled. Each one has only a few headlines -- for example the Top News feed and the Opinions feed each currently have only 3 headlines. So now I only get some of the stories on the front page, not all of them. And where are the columns by my regular columnists, Colbert King, David Ignatius, and Richard Cohen (now that he has regained his senses)? The headlines also have the inane text (www.washingtonpost.com) at the end of each linked headline, as though anybody clicking on the linked headline would be taken somewhere else. It looks like something that would have been put on the web in 1995, not 2004. This is a really foolish way for them to put content out to people -- it is one of those cases where halfway is worse than none. By having only some but not all of the top headlines, they make it less likely, not more likely, that people outside Washington will rely on Post for news. By putting the stupid (www.washingtonpost.com) in every headline, instead of just the first or last one, they make it less likely that someone will want to display their headlines on their site. My guess, from years of reading the Post and reading about the Post, is that it is the result of political infighting inside the Post between people afraid of giving away their content, and people who see the value of syndicating headlines as a way of increasing influence and getting more people to read the Post online. It certainly looks like a typical Washington political compromise, ugly and satisfying neither opponents...

Washington Post Buys Slate 12/22/2004 01:16 AM
This had been rumored as a "done deal" for a few months already, but it became official today that the Washington Post was buying Slate, the online magazine published for many years by Microsoft, but put up for sale earlier this year. Microsoft started Slate as an experiment with the idea that they would be able to successfully charge for content -- a plan that failed pretty rapidly. Meanwhile, the Washington Post says there will be few changes, but they wanted to do this to beef up their online content. Of course, the Post used to run an online site called Newsbytes, which they killed off for no good reason. You also have to wonder if the Post is going to shove Slate behind an annoying registration wall, like they did with much of their regular online content.

The Washington Post Co. announced Tuesday that it has agreed to purchase online magazine Slate from Microsoft.

In a deal that had been rumored since at least mid-November, the Post will take Slate off Microsoft's hands for an unspecified amount of money. The online magazine, which produces original editorial content on popular topics such as politics, has been controlled by the software giant since Slate first began publishing in 1996. According to Nielsen Net/Ratings, the magazine had 6 million unique users in November.
