Musarium: discovering signs of
intelligent life on planet earth 08/08/2004 05:33 AM
I've been having a great time exploring the maze that is Musarium, wandering about and peeking into into various nooks and crannies to find such exotica as the wonderfully bizarre birdhand book, and absorbing cultural artifacts and musings, including the poetic Visions and Icons (I really love the way the text works with the images on this), the atmospheric Familiar Ghosts (the texts will cue you on clicking through this somewhat dream-like landscape), the time-capsule imagery of Balkan Portraits (1906-1910), the breathtaking portraits of photographer Steve McCurry (famous for his National Geographic portait of the Afghani girl), the subterranean monologue of Grand Central: the View Down Under, and the shocking and heartbreaking Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America. There's a lot more, so take your time. You can use this page to access archived material.

I found some of your life. You are unknown to me. Your camera's memory card was in a taxi; I have it now. I am going to post one of your pictures each day. I will also narrate as if I were you. Maybe you will come here and reclaim this piece of your life. (via the Morning News)

Near-Death Company Springs To Life,
Thanks To Found Patents 03/31/2005 07:20 AM
Dan writes "Ampex is another company resorting to an arsenal of patents to keep themselves alive. Now, their stock price price has taken off." This story is an interesting one. The company has been around for quite a long time, and obviously has done some very innovative things over the years. However, its patent windfall seems like a fluke. It certainly doesn't sound like any of the companies they've convinced to cough up these millions of dollars really made use of these patents -- they just came up with the same concepts independently. That, of course, demonstrates the weakness of the patent system. The point of the patent system is to publicize the info, so that others can build on top of it, while compensating the original creator. The problem, though, is that if innovations are done entirely separately of the patents in question, then you could easily make the claim that the original patents aren't valid. They should only have been granted if they were "non-obvious" and if others are coming up with the same thing independently, it's difficult to claim it wasn't obvious to the skilled practitioner. Either way, while the article suggests Ampex is trying to build a business model out of this, it's hard to see how it's sustainable for more than a few years. Sure, they're creating a licensing program, but the patents will run out in a few years -- and they realistically lucked into this patent windfall. They've just been hanging onto them for years, and suddenly noticed they were relevant. That's not a sustainable business model, but a lucky windfall.

New Microsoft security flaws found 08/20/2004 12:25 AM
Internet security experts have found two "flaws" with Microsoft's long-awaited security update for its Windows XP operating system but the software giant insists that the new Service Pack 2 (SP2) is secure. Microsoft says SP2 offers users the latest security "innovations" but Internet security experts say hackers could exploit cracks in SP2 defences to exploit a user's computer. Microsoft began rolling out SP2 this week. It says the update fixes several security holes and provides new protective features.

Encinitas inventor William Louis has been fighting Microsoft Corp. since 1998 over patents for ergonomic keyboards – with very little success. Yesterday, he finally had something to smile about. A federal appeals court resurrected Louis' long-running federal lawsuit accusing the software company of patent infringement. In the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the court said a U.S. District Court judge in San Diego made a mistake when she ruled that patents held by TypeRight Keyboard Corp. for V-shaped keyboards with wrist rests were invalid. Louis co-founded TypeRight in the early '90s.

Of all the personal computers to be unwrapped during the holiday season, more than 80 percent will be used to go online and search the Web's more than 92 million gigabytes of data (comparable to a 2 billion-volume encyclopedia). Getting online is the easy part, finding a useful Web page is a bit harder—keeping track of a useful Web page is another issue altogether.

People have devised many tricks—such as sending e-mails to themselves or jotting on sticky notes—for keeping track of Web pages, but William Jones and Harry Bruce at the University of Washington's Information School and Susan Dumais of Microsoft Research have found that often people don't use any of them when it comes time to revisit a Web page. Instead, they rely on their ability to find the Web page all over again.
