Shame on you, Dick Cheney, Shame on you.

Shame on you, Dick Cheney, Shame on you. 01/12/2004 12:47 AM

I can't believe Cheney changed his stance on gay marriage, and so completely at that.

What kind of father goes out on a national stage and says he doesn't believe his own daughter deserves the same rights in her life that he enjoys with his own marriage?

It's not like Dick and Mary have a bad relationship, all his quotes from 2000 supported her and kept her out of the limelight, while she put off grad school to work on his campaign and consulted on gay issues for the 2000 election. They reportedly accept Mary's longtime partner, Heather Poe, into their home and call her part of the family.

The vice president and his wife have fought for family values without completely alienating their daughter until now. I know sometimes career takes precidence over family and that Bush and Cheney have shown on more than one occasion that they can be hypocritical, but Cheney just proved he's worse than all that. He's a shitty father for not defending his daughter.

For Shame Zend! For Shame! I saw over on PHP Everywhere that Zend is having an Interview / Online event with Zeev about PHP 5 (Zeev = Senior Demi God of PHP type of fellow). Yesterday it came up fine but I refreshed the window this morning and then got this message: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a004c' Path not found D: INTERWISE WWWVC IWCAMPUS ICCFILES ZEND EVENTPAGE OI1336../../../../Include/DBConnectionString.inc, line 52 (spaces added for proper breaks in this template) [_Go_] You know something ... I could actually care less about the VBScript stuff (but it is funny) but I do find it really unacceptable that a vendor you pay money to goes down like this. PHP is a highly international community and, consequently, so is Zend. While it may be 7 am in Boston, it's not in London or Israel or other markets they serve. Hasn't anyone heard of monitoring your site for failure and then pinging an admin's pager ? Note: I'm not saying I'm perfect here myself but I'm also not running this type of a 24x7 service. Still the hosting for my clients doesn't go down.

Pop Up Stupidity

Pop Up Stupidity 06/04/2004 11:05 AM
Marketing gets a bad name because too many people in the field of marketing don't understand what it really means. The point of marketing is not just to sell what you have on hand, but to find out what customers want or need, and to then provide it to them. However, instead of focusing on the customer's real needs, too many lazy marketers just focus on trying to convince customers that they need whatever the marketer is selling. This leads to annoying and intrusive advertising practices that may work in the short term, but do a great deal of damage in the long term. What's amazing, though, is that as lazy as these marketers are in terms of actually trying to give the customer what they want, they seem to spend an awful lot of effort trying to give them exactly what they don't want: ever more annoying and intrusive advertising. Now that pop-up blockers are almost everywhere, instead of realizing that people don't want (or need) pop-up blockers, stupid marketers are working on more ways to get around the blockers. We've already written about systems that try to recognize a pop-up blocker and convert pop-ups to floating ads, but now many sites are figuring out ways to use pop-ups even when users clearly have pop-up blockers. This is going beyond lazy marketing into pure stupid marketing. You have someone who has made it clear they don't want what you're pushing, and you deliberately defy them and keep pushing it.

Then he began his second career: An eight year stint with the NSA, where he became the agency's chief scientist. Morris describes himself as "a teenage code clerk." He was trained in math at Harvard, helped invent the first modems at Bell Labs, and tells great stories -- declassified, of course -- about the history of communications intelligence.

Banishing the demons of stupidity from a
system that has been owned 08/12/2004 03:25 PM
Occasionally a computer will become so significantly compromised with viruses, trojans, backdoors, hacked, spyware or malware that it becomes irrecoverable with normal means. Occasionally said computer will belong to a client, family member, friend or otherwise very important person who needs said computer back with data. In most business envrionments user data should be on the server and the following process is not typically appropriate. This process is Windows specific, and will help you deal with Windows less than graceful failures when taken over by viruses, trojans, spyware or has been hacked. If you do not have data to recover, or an substantial operational need to keep that exact install, then just wipe the drive and reinstall the Operating System. There are times however when you really need to recover a system and format c:\ is not an option. This process is not intended to be all inclusive, but to give you a starting point so that you can start doing other needed system repairs and or recover files safely. Fundamentally a recovered system that has been owned can be recovered, but never again should be considered known or trusted. It is always better to wipe and reinstall, but it is not always an option.

Blaming The Mobile Phone For Economic
Troubles, Stupidity

Blaming The Mobile Phone For Economic
Troubles, Stupidity 09/10/2004 10:43 AM
Someone who prefers to be anonymous sent in this opinion piece, supposedly written by an economics professor at Kyoto University looking at the troubles in the Japanese economy over the last thirteen years and then, at the very end, blaming it all on mobile phones. The article looks at consumer electronics, the entertainment industry and the automobile industry, but then shifts gears to look at mobile phones, noting that even while mobile phone sales are "booming," it's done nothing to help the economy. Then, the professor points out that so much mobile phone use is leading to high bills which "dampen household spending" (assuming, of course, that "household spending" doesn't include mobile phone bills). Then, even though he has already complained that entertainment revenues are down because there aren't "sufficient" services to provide them, he complains that Japanese young people are "wasting hours each day" text messaging and playing online games. Finally, he concludes: "The cell phone is the cause of the business slowdown as well as the erosion in young people's intelligence and scholastic abilities." So, basically, it sounds like the thesis is that spending on mobile phone service is somehow "bad" because it takes away from other spending, which is somehow "good." Seems a bit hard to back up.

Books I Did Not Read This Year: For novelty or perhaps for gleeful one-downmanship, Kieran at Crooked Timber shares a list of books he did not read in 2003. Literary guilt is hardly new, but some argue our neuroses about unread books grows as our distractions multiply. Of course, this attitude (besides bordering on criticism of the glib, "pop lite" type) usually comes part and parcel with the common complaint that paper culture is dead. And one could easily make a distinction between neurotic englit-geek Guilt and the casual reader's mere missed opportunity. Without rehashing either of those discussions, what are the (presumably) best books (or any pieces of art) you didn't consume in 2003?

Wall of shame for RSS feeds?

Wall of shame for RSS feeds? 01/26/2004 04:12 PM
I get bug reports every day about feeds that don’t display correctly in NetNewsWire. At least 99% of the time it’s because the feed is invalid, but not so invalid that NetNewsWire gives up on it.

Most of the time I encourage the person who submitted the bug report to report the bug to the feed producer. I have no idea how often that happens—at any rate, it seems to have little affect. Some feeds (some popular feeds, even) stay broken.

Somebody suggested creating a wall of shame for broken RSS feeds. (I apologize: I don’t remember who suggested it.)

Part of me loves the idea. I’d create a weblog where I and other people could post reports of broken feeds.

But I don’t really like the idea because it’s so, well, negative. The big picture is to encourage syndication, not play syndication cop.

(Imagine a site saying that they took down their RSS feed because the syndication police kept bugging them. It would happen.)

Anyway, in short—wall of shame, no. But I’m still thinking about ways to boost the quality of feeds.

Lessig: Shame on you, O'Reilly

Lessig: Shame on you, O'Reilly 07/24/2004 04:14 PM
Larry Lessig has written a long open letter to Bill O'Reilly that opens "You have declared a 'war' on the New York Times. That's good for you, good for them, and good for our democracy: Strong opinions deserve strong spokesmen. Your battle will help sharpen a debate about matters important to the Republic." Lessig then proceeds to take O'Reilly to task, point-by-point for an ongoing campaign of pathological libel agaist Jeremy Glick, the son of a 9/11 victim who spoke out against the Bush Presidency and the war. Glick appears in Outfoxed, a new documentary that criticises O'Reilly and his network, and in answering the charges raised in Outfoxed, O'Reilly has chosen Glick as a symbol of what he hates, and in order to make his point, he has been lying repeatedly about what Glick said and did. Lessig's point is that attacking a giant media organisation is one thing, but using your on-camera bully pulpit to repeatedly slander someone who has already lost so much is unconscionable.

# on February 5th, you told your viewers that "Glick was out of control." He may have been out of your control. But you and our government have got to learn that just because someone disagrees with you, he doesn"t become a security threat. Again, watch the interview, Mr. O"Reilly. He was not "out of control."

# on February 5th, you told your viewers that Glick was "spewing hatred for this program." Watch the interview, Mr. O"Reilly. He criticized you, not the program, for unethically using sympathy for the 9/11 victims for your own political ends. He was calling your behavior improper. You had not earned his hatred.

Cingular RIM BlackBerry 7100g

Cingular RIM BlackBerry 7100g 01/04/2005 09:01 AM

MobileTracker is reporting that Cingular will be getting their own version of the RIM BlackBerry 7100* series, branded as the 7100g. The keyboardless T-Mobile 7100t has been a relative success for the company, despite recent issues with the network access from the carrier. UK carrier Vodafone has their own version of the 7100 which is essentially the same product as T-Mobile's, despite a new external case. That's basically the same deal here, as far as I can tell—don't expect anything revolutionary.

My goddamn Windows machine is dying, which is less than awesome. Hopefully I can get this out to you before it decides to reboot itself again.

Anyway, MSNBC's Krakow took the new BlackBerry 7100t out for a spin - available only on T-Mobile - and it looks really nice. Not only are the internals decent, with a quad-band, multi-network radio, Bluetooth, and an ample screen, but the new keyboard - you know, the really strange 20-key QWERTY version - reportedly gets the job done, thanks in large part to an extra-strength 'SureType' predictive text software.

And what do you know? They tossed in a free picture of the upcoming Nokia 9300 Communicator [pictured right], too. I like how these guys work.

So the AT&T Wireless Ogo isn't coming out today - I think we can chalk that up to an overanxious rep - but it should be out soonish, from what I can gather. In the meantime, check out this comparison shot. It's a little bigger than I was hoping, but if it really just costs $100 I'm not going to complain about a little extra size. Besides, that might make the keyboard more useful.

And if AT&T lets people install their own software on it, it's got an even better chance to give Danger a run for the Sidekick money. I have my fingers crossed, which made typing this really hard.

Om Malik writes......

Amdist all the hoopla around Motorola' new products, one news which got little mention was the deal struck between Moto and Blackberry for MPx. By now, Blackberry has signed-up most major phone makers, and has worked out plans to embed its software/service on all sorts of SmartPhone OS platforms. We are looking at a defactor wireless email platform? Perhaps!

But this clearly is not good news for well, Good Technology! Motorola's MPx was supposedly going to be an exclusive Good deal, but I guess not. And those smart VCs who have pumped in nearly $250 million into wireless email must be reaching for their large box of Tums! Good alone accounts for $146 million of the total.

My theory on this is, that by launching an aggresive marketing/hype campaign, Good galvanized those meek canadians into action. Had that not happened, RIM probably would have kept doing what they were doing - selling devices and service and growing at a nice Canadian pace. Threatened, they went on and signed up all these people. Voila! They are in good place, Good in not!

• A Microcosm of VC Madness: $250M for Wireless E-Mail
• Return of Hype
• What's So Good?

[gigaom]

I totally agree with Om.

This is an example where patents and VCs have really FUDed the landscape and all of a sudden a sleeping Tiger has been clued in and appears to grok it now.

I just hate the concept of the mini-keyboard being patented - but let's just get on with making sure it's baked into all sorts of devices - as my chubby fingers will NEVER learn to thumb type, graffitti or whatever.

I'm a QWERTY keyboard guy - till I die - I got no choice about it. And there's no way in hell I'm typing SMS messages with a phone pad....

Anyway - congrats to Blackberry - not let's get on with it.

For now, you can file the 'Blackberry Thumb' issue along side the folder where you would have kept your worries about cellphone radiation, had you not forgotten them since that tumor pressed too firmly into your hippocampus. Sure, dinking around on thumbboards probably isn't exactly the optimal use of your opposable digits, but it's likely no worse than the dreaded "Nintendo Thumb" that struck down a whole generation of good typists, who now are cursed with occasional involuntary run-ons of 'ABABSELECTSTART.' Until this doctor in the UK can actually point to a documented case of someone suffering from tendentious, I think I'll keep promoting the thumbboard as one of the best mobile input devices we have ABABSELECTSTART available.
