Computer industry to entertainment
industry: we lied (right on!)

Computer industry to entertainment
industry: we lied (right on!) 09/22/2004 02:18 AM
Cory Doctorow: This amazing open letter to the entertainment industry, signed by the computer industry, is a nigh-perfect expression of what constitutes a successful approach to Internet technology. And it made me laugh my ass off.

We lied to you. In the golden 80s and 90s we told you micropayments and content protection would work; that you would be able to charge minuscule amounts of money whenever someone listened to your music or watched your movie. We told you untruths which we well knew would never work - after all, we would've never used them ourselves. Instead, we wrote things like Kazaa and Gnutella, and all other evil P2P applications to get the stuff free.

We told you these things so that you would finance the things we really wanted to build, not the things that you wanted to be built. We knew all along that DRM schemes do not work, and we knew that whatever we create can be broken by us. We don't care anymore, because your money made us bigger than you.

Look at us: every year, we churn out more computer games than your entire industry is worth. You know how we do it? We like our customers. We don't treat them like potential criminals, and try to make our products do less. We invent new things like online role-playing -games, where the money does not come from duplication of bits (which cannot be stopped, regardless of your DRM scheme) but from providing experiences that the people want.

We saw that you were old and weak. So we took advantage of it: told you things that you wanted to hear so we could kick you in the head in twenty years. Some of us told you that the future is going to be interactive - what did you do? You started to think how to make interactive movies (CD-I, anyone?), which is not what it really means, while we wrote games and tried to understand the new mediums, not how to bolt it on onto old things.

We lied to you. And we apologize for that, but it was for the greater good. So we're not the least bit sorry.

Signed: The Computer Industry

So, who would have ever thought of RSS feeds on your iPod? Oh, yeah, I did(!). I wrote RSSiCal long before PodNews came out.

Albeit, PodNews does have a few other features. I think it is kind of a pointless app for subscribing to RSS feeds. I would much rather have my RSS feeds in iCal. Oh well. I always was the trend setter. ;-)

For those of you who use RSSiCal, thanks. For those of you who don't like it, let me know how I can make it better.

Leaving New Hampshire to the Libertarians, We now have another state to worry about: South Carolina. Christian Exodus proposes to move "thousands of Christian constitutionalists to specific legislative districts in South Carolina through a series of emigrations." While advocating secession from the Union (boy, that's gonna win 'em some black votes), their stated purpose is "ChristianExodus.org really desires the return of constitutionally limited government to the whole of these United States." Great.

Another Thought Experiment

Another Thought Experiment 01/16/2004 01:04 PM

Mark Pilgram expresses his concerns about how some aggregators plan to handle invalid Atom feeds. Mark believes that rejecting invalid XML on the client side is a bad idea, and proposes a thought experiment in which all web browsers use strict XML parsers and refuse to display XHTML that isn't well-formed.

This is a bit of a bait-and-switch, though. XHTML has the whole sordid history of HTML on its back, and since browsers have generally been forgiving of even the most convoluted HTML there's a substantial backwards-compatibility issue. The XML-based Atom, however, is brand-spanking new, so it doesn't have the same baggage as XHTML.

So, let's try another thought experiment. I've copied Mark's Atom newsfeed and made it invalid XML by adding a single & character, then uploaded it to my site:

http://www.bradsoft.c om/feeds/badatom.xml

Mark asks us to "imagine that all web browsers use strict XML parsers," but rather than use our imaginations, lets see what happens when we browse this feed in Internet Explorer:

Hmmm...IE appears to be doing client-side validation, and it shows an error instead of displaying the feed's contents. Okay, so let's try Mozilla:

Looks like Mozilla does the same thing. How about Opera?

So, the most popular Windows browsers all perform client-side validation, and fail to display the contents of the invalid Atom feed. There's nothing surprising here, of course - any validating XML parser will reject this feed.

Consumers of RSS feeds have had to code around all sorts of validation problems in order to be backwards-compatible with existing feeds. Atom, however, is new, so customers aren't already subscribed to hundreds of invalid Atom feeds. Being well-formed is a requirement of XML, and Atom is defined as an XML format, so why not expect Atom feeds to be well-formed? Let's get it right this time.

Symbiotic thought 02/01/2005 09:09 PM
Steve Johnson, one of my favorite writers, has a piece in the NYTimes about software that collaborates in the thinking process. He elaborates in his blog, complete with screen captures of DevonThink at work. The software does a semantic analysis of what Steve's written and his research notes. Now if only I had ten years' worth of research notes stored in my computer! (Maybe Steve would let me borrow his.)...
