Tritium Flatenna: Cardboard and Foil
Antenna
07/12/2004 08:52 AM
I'd like to see some actually testing (NYCWireless, I
call thee!) of these little folding cardboard antennas, the Tritium
Flatenna, but the idea itself is interesting. The simple metal and
foil antenna is designed to clip onto your existing external antenna
-- no worrying about what type of connector -- and focus the standard
omni-directional into a parabolic, semi-directional antenna. The
upshot for you is that if your home network, for instance, could use a
little boost, and your wireless access point is on one side of your
living space, the $20 gadget could concentrate your signal in the one
direction you need it. If it works, that is.
And where did they get that much Tritium? I suspect Oscorp is
involved somehow. (Thanks, Josh!)

Followup on yesterday's editorial
Followup on yesterday's editorial
12/25/2003 11:32 AM
There's been a bunch of comment on my editorial
yesterday, most of it missing the point, widely. Candidates have to
earn my vote, and they won't if they say one thing and do another.
They don't stand a chance competing with commercial software
developers, yet that's exactly what two leading candidates are doing.
Further, the software market in America is depressed, and I think
that's partly caused by people expecting to get software for free.
A candidate who wanted to help software jobs come back to NH, a
high-tech state, could do something right now to help. No need to wait
till they're elected. And I don't agree with people who say the
candidate's job is to get elected. Sure, that's probably the way the
candidate views it. But I'm not a candidate, I'm a member of the
electorate and a taxpayer. I've yet to vote in a presidential election
that means something. I'd like to, someday. I honestly don't think
this is the year, but I'm doing my part to shift the focus to the
voters and away from 60-second TV commercials. What are you doing?
BTW, Dean is a very average candidate. His handlers ought to
tell him to answer questions frankly. He got a question about the
airplane they were using and tax dodges. He was asked if the story was
true and he said No, and didn't comment further. He said some really
nasty personal things about George Bush and John Kerry, kind of
schoolyard stuff. Not something you'd expect from a Presidential
candidate. That people are rallying around this guy gives you an idea
how desperate we are for leadership. I think we can do better, much
better.
Yesterday's Test Cases
Yesterday's Test Cases
03/31/2005 06:43 AM
Regarding yesterday's test
cases, I got quite a few comments about the second scenario, where
I propose that I become the author of Cory Doctorow's web-published
novel, offer it for sale, and seek distribution.
The uniform response was that since Cory's book is offered
under the Creative Commons attribution share-alike license, I
am not "permitted" to change the author's name, or charge for the
right to a copy. I put the word permitted in quotes, because the
responders haven't explained why Cory's work is so-protected and my
work, which is offered under a standard copyright, isn't.
In other words, the responders think there is a line. Aha!
There are some things one is not allowed to do with another person's
work. They said not only is it possible for Cory to opt-out of my
creative rip-and-burn act of 21st Century artistry, but it actually
requires Cory to opt-in! Well well well.
Does this perhaps ring a bell?
And since I haven't heard from Cory, I still wonder if it's
okay with him that I republish his work for money and claim authorship
of it, since I know he doesn't believe in opt-in or out. I
believe his philosophy is "Tough shit."
Also, I haven't heard from the EFF about the proposal that they
let me filter eff.org, replacing links, author's names, correct
spelling, and edit their copy to be more in line with the philosophy
of the entertainment industry.

some of the fantastic oddities and plans of futurists from the first
half of the 20th century about the far-off world of 1980! Included
are plans for a helicopter in every garage, a Mag-Lev train between LA
and NY that would only be economically feasible if every citizen of
those cities used it to commute to the other each and every day,
futuristic car designs that never came to pass, hovercraft buses, the
shape of trains to come and so on."

means
What yesterday's dumb sampling ruling
means
09/09/2004 01:04 PM
Cory Doctorow:
Yesterday, a judge in the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that all
music sampling, no matter how minimal the sample, no matter how
unrecognizably transformed, is illegal without permission from the
sample-ee.
Lessig explains how the court got there and what it means:
Sampling, we're told, is piracy. But be certain to see the 19
footnotes in this relatively brief opinion, or the 28 separate quotes
the opinion includes from other peoples work. I assume the court got a
license for those.
Now that's not quite fair. The court's decision turns upon its
"literal" reading of the sound recording statute. The sound recording
statute has no de minimus exceptions, the court held. So while you are
free to copy three notes from a musical composition, you can't copy
the same three notes from a recording. So copying (so long as de
minimus) is fine; cut & paste is not. It is a "bright-line" rule
the Court has crafted: Ask permission first. (And don't worry, they
might have added. It's simple.)
So once again: life in the analog world is freer than life in the
digital world. You can do it, just don't use technology to do it
— unless, of course, your lawyer has spoken to their lawyer.

Yesterday's news is tomorrow's
fish-and-chip paper
02/01/2005 09:42 PMDan Gillmor offers a plea to newspapers to
open up their for-pay archives. He's got logic on his side but
business inertia against it. Newspapers are used to getting revenue
from their old content because third parties like Lexis/Nexis pay them
for it and then charge whopping fees to their own customers to access
the material. Those same papers are seeing classified ad revenue drain
away to the Web; I just don't see their corporate leaders choosing to
abandon this real revenue for the intangible possibility of long-term
grown in keyword advertising on open Web archives.
Is this short-sighted? You bet. Is that Lexis/Nexis revenue going
to vanish eventually anyway, as the open Web displaces it and reduces
demand for the old for-pay stuff? You bet. Will the newspapers then
lose out, long-term, as other institutions step into the vacuum on the
Web and become the "publications of record"? You bet.
This is, I think, inevitable, given the pattern in American
business that makes it nearly impossible for existing institutions to
sacrifice this quarter's revenue for riskier, long-term goals.
Newspapers as businesses are hugely conservative; they change slowly
if at all. It seems almost certain to me that over the next 30-40
years local newspapers will vanish. We'll be left with two or three
national institutions like the Times and the Journal -- they've got
their own upscale market of people willing to pay for in-depth
coverage, and they'll figure out a path to deliver it in whatever
format their readers want. For local news and information, it will be
cheaper, more efficient and more profitable to serve the public
electronically.
The economic structure that supported local newspapers is going to
migrate, is already beginning to migrate, online. And I don't
think most newspapers are nimble enough to follow. New players will
pick up that business -- and take on the mantle of providing local
news. In the course of this change we'll gain some speed and variety
and all the new possibilities of a many-to-many information world;
we'll also lose some valuable traditions. Our recycling bins, at
least, will thank us.

08/09/2004 04:52 PM- If there was an award category for stoner teen comedy, Harold and
Kumar go to White Castle would deserve an Oscar. Aside from being an
enjoyable movie, two things stuck out: 1) Most of the white characters
are one-dimensional stereotypes, while characters of other ethnicities
usually had depth. It's nice to see the shoe on the other foot, and I
thought it was hilarious and illuminating. 2) Neil Patrick Harris
doesn't take himself too seriously, allowing himself to be mocked in
both this movie and in Undercover Brother. Most actors can't laugh at
themselves, but NPH continues to let himself be the butt of jokes
which is worthy of praise.
- The X games were pretty much a disaster. First they confined
programming to just a few hours over the course of three nights on
just ESPN instead of a week of programming on any of the ESPN channels
(put the whole competition uncut on ESPN 8 ("The Ocho") at
2am!). Then they insisted on showing things live instead of editing
them on tape. This created a couple big problems: worse than just
being live, they actually delayed the athletes for TV time, sometimes
for 30 minutes or more. That means muscles and minds cooled down
during the dead time and people got hurt, badly in some cases. The
other big problem was that open-ended events could go on forever. One
night's two hour slot featured two guys on motorcycles trying to jump
over a stick for 90 minutes, leaving the bike vert comp to wait, which
barely got started at the end. Then the bikes had to delay for a slot
within Sportscenter (which wouldn't have gotten recorded unless I was
watching it happen live), and ESPN didn't show street skating at all,
because there was no time that night. It appears that advertisers have
left the event (much less top-flight sponsors than previous years),
but it would have been nice if ESPN could have recouped their losses
by showing more of it on TV -- if for nothing else than fans. I
suspect at the rate things are going, there will be no X games next
year.
- this is
the best TiVo story I've heard.
