Quirky Google Culture Endangered? 04/28/2004 05:58 AM

An IPO could mean a massive payday for employees holding options. But going public could kill off the company's old-school Silicon Valley perks, like roller-hockey games and free chow cooked up by the Grateful Dead's former chef.

It's interesting that Tom wrote this today--the day I got to meet him in person: Yahoo kicked the engineers aside quite some time ago. Co-founders Jerry Yang (does he still carry the title of “chief yahoo” on his business card?) and David Filo probably still do engineering type stuff, but the business is handled by people who know how to run a large media company. Yet at Google, there are NO media professionals! They’ve done well so far, no one...

The Fight Between Sharing Culture And
Owning Culture


The Fight Between Sharing Culture And
Owning Culture
06/22/2005 02:17 AM
It seems that museums are finally starting to realize that the digital age represents a real opportunity for them to reach many new people by digitizing their offerings and sharing the culture they represent across a much wider audience than a physical museum allows. It seems that many museums are having trouble figuring out how to digitize their collections, and would welcome help in doing so. However, another story points out how that can cause problems when the people involved get stuck on intellectual property issues. Apparently some people who created 3D digital versions of Michelangelo's David are freaking out that if they share the digitization without some form of copy protection people might (gasp!) share it without permission. Wait a second... isn't that what they should want? That would allow them to share the cultural wonder with many, many more people, and allow them to experience it in ways never possible before. That's a good thing, not something to be worried about. However, in an age where people seem to think that every idea, concept, software or piece of data needs to be "owned" and locked up, apparently it's the natural response -- and that's unfortunate for every culture.

A Troll Apart: Comments Endangered


A Troll Apart: Comments Endangered 07/12/2004 07:27 PM
As you all know, we have a troll problem here. At least one person is repeatedly violating the reasonable boundaries of discourse, to the point that he/she has become unwelcome and whom we've attempted to remove from the premises. But I believe our troll is signing in from a major Internet service provider that, like most ISPs, gives out dynamic IP addresses (a different one every time he logs on to his provider). Block one IP address, and he/she just signs in again and starts up the trolling machine. UPDATE: I'm asked to describe the problem in more detail. OK, the person (or his/her virtual clones) doing this has repeated false statements about what I do and what I believe even after being told they are false. I have no problem with people who disagree with what I write or who think I'm an idiot, as anyone who's read the comments here knows. But that's a long way from plain dishonesty, which is just not acceptable. So we are now faced with a decision. We can:
  • Keep playing whack- a-mole with our troll, but this is time-consuming and annoying (perhaps what he/she wants);
  • Ban an entire range of IP addresses, which would prevent some legitimate comments from getting through (something I'm exceedingly reluctant to try);
  • Or shut down comments entirely until we have a new posting system that prevents this kind of ugly behavior by people whose purpose appears to be disruptive, as opposed to having a serious debate of the issues. If we take the third alternative permanently, as we have done for the moment, our troll will lose the ability to disagree with me on this blog. Is that really what he/she wants? I'm baffled by such people, but also nearly out of patience. Suggestions? Send me e-mail. Thanks.

    [foo] Endangered Devices - Buy an HDTV
    for Freedom! (Offer not good after 7/05)
    09/11/2004 04:14 PM
    Wendy Seltzer, lawyer for the EFF (join here), talks about the drive to mandate building restrictions devices into hardware that plays media content. The broadcast flag requires HDTV devices to check for a "do not redistribute" flag in the content they receive. With the flag, they can't output high-def digital or record it. She says that this mitigates against open source software since it is modifiable; all tuners would have to be closed source. "In the post broadcast flag world, no one can bulid a TiVo without first asking permission from the FCC." Until July 1, 2005, it's capable to...
