12/17/2004 06:32 PMIt'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 AMIt 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 PMAs 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...
