Paperless democracy's test

Paperless democracy's test 03/06/2004 01:59 AM
Ed Cone writes about what conclusions to draw from the fact that Maryland's use of electronic voting machines on Tuesday seemed to go well: "'Election officials will think that this validates the system, that now we can all see that it works just fine - but that's not the case,' says Michael Wertheimer, a systems-security consultant..." My favorite bit: A sampling of voters at Lutherville, Md., on Super Tuesday showed that the systems worked well on the surface. "The machine was easy to use," says Charlie Mitchell, 49. "The only thing I wondered about was what I had read about...

Are Paperless Holidays Good?

Are Paperless Holidays Good? 12/15/2003 03:33 AM
Now that the holiday season is in full swing, some are wondering if the trend to move away from paper holiday cards and letters is taking away from the concept. If it's the thought that counts, does it count less when the end result is easier/cheaper or less personalized? Part of this sounds like typical complaining about the "less personal" feel of some new technologies. Just like many things, I think it has advantages and disadvantages. Certainly, in some instances it seems less personal. Also, going completely electronic means that some people will never see your message thanks to spam filters and fear of viruses. However, it also can make it easier to communicate with some people. Already this year I've received two electronic holiday notes from friends who I'm sure I wouldn't have heard from otherwise. The ease of email/web communications made sure I got included and lets me know what they're up to, and reminds me to drop them a separate note to see how they're doing. While it would be great if we could all write deeply personal notes to everyone we know, the ease of internet communications makes it possible to stay in touch with those who you're not as close with, but who are still worth keeping as friends.

Public yet Proprietary

Public yet Proprietary 12/19/2004 03:06 PM

News about Google Print raises some interesting questions.

If John has the only copy in existance of a physical book of which content not available anywhere, and its copyrights have expired, what rights does John have over the content of the book?

If Dave makes a deal with John to digitize the book's content, what rights does Dave have over the digitized content?

John owns the physical instance of the book, therefore he has full control over access to it even though he does not own the content.  Can John legally dictate terms of use over the content which he does not own in exchange for access?

Dave has a virtual instance of the book, so he also has full access control.  Can Dave provide online access to the book's content under whatever terms he dictates?

Now replace John with an public or government-funded institution.  What rights does the we have over the book and it's digitized contents?

Another twist.  Suppose Evan breaks into Dave's system, takes a copy of the digitized content, and posts it in newsgroups which Phil downloads.  Did Phil break any laws?  Can Phil use the content?

I am not a copyright lawyer so I don't know the answers to these questions.  Perhaps Professor Lessig can answer.

To me, ownerless doesn't mean community property.  It means free for the taking.  Google is doing exactly that, taking.  I have mixed feelings about what they are doing.  On one side, they are making new information readily available which is good.  On the other side, they seem to be claiming stewardship over orphaned information.

Xbox 2 to Use Proprietary Discs?

Xbox 2 to Use Proprietary Discs? 12/15/2003 03:16 PM
Microsoft's career page contains a very interesting job advertisement. The ad says that the Xbox Team "is looking for a strong PM/Engineer to manage the design and development of the Xbox Game Disc for the next generation Xbox console." Moreover, the ad stresses the importance of anti-piracy technology in the development of the new discs for the next generation console. Although it is possible that MS will simply try to incorporate sophisticated anti-piracy features in the now standard DVD medium, it is probably easier for them to develop a proprietary format. Nintendo did it with their GameCube discs, and they were quite effective in combating piracy -- so why not Microsoft?

How the internet is failing research, or
is it the other way around

How the internet is failing research, or
is it the other way around 03/14/2005 06:11 PM
Last night I listened to a lecture from the dean of the College of Education at University of Central Florida. Her lecture was about the grants the college has been winning, how they're being used, the restrictions grants have on them, and how important research is.

She started talking about how research benefits K-12 education, as you might expect from a College of Education dean, but all I heard was the breakdown between grant research and information dissemination on the Internet. The Internet has certainly not failed in performing secondary information research for K-12 schools. It hasn't failed as a commerce medium or distance education tool.
