Are Burglars Casing Houses In Their
Underwear?
06/05/2005 11:57 PM
Virtual tours of homes for sale allow home shoppers to effortlessly tour houses for sale from the comfort of their own homes. However, it's not possible to know what the viewers are actually after. Is a virtual tour a good way for burglars to case a house? Burglars can check out locks, locations of valuable goods and entryways for targeted houses with anonymity and zero fear of being caught. This concern sounds a bit inflated, however. Though realtors report that sellers are wary of the sophisticated technology and opt to post photographs instead of the more detailed virtual tour, this is hardly indicative of a fear of burglary. Traditional open houses seem to be a far better way for burglars to check out places, and most likely a more common choice for today's burglars. The supporting evidence discussed in the article is purely anecdotal -- it would be telling to compare burglary rates for all homes versus homes with the virtual tour and with open houses in a given neighborhood. That said, until virtual tours somehow enable virtual burglaries to happen, there doesn't seem to be a good reason to be concerned.

Ward talks Wiki


Ward talks Wiki 10/29/2003 12:12 AM

Artima have published the first installment of Bill Venners' Conversation with Ward Cunningham, which focuses on the Wiki. When asked how readers can get a bigger picture of what is going on in a Wiki, Ward responds with this:

The first thing you have to understand is that because we made wiki easier for authors, we actually made it harder for readers. There is an organization there, and the organization can be improved, but it isn't highly organized. So the feeling for a reader is one of foraging in a wilderness for tidbits of information. You stumble across some great ones and you say, "This is fantastic, why doesn't somebody just make a list of all the great pieces so I don't have to look at the rest." In other words, "Why doesn't somebody organize this so I can get answers to my questions quickly?" Sooner or later they realize, "Gee, I could do that." They put in a month or two of finding what they care about, and then they make a page, which is their take on what the organization of wiki is.

I think this goes a long way to explaining why a lot of people dislike the Wiki format.
