Microsoft Throwing Its Weight Around

Microsoft Throwing Its Weight Around 12/19/2004 02:57 PM

Yeah, I know. What's new about that?

MS lawyers jumped all over the administrators of digital.forest demanding that they immediately shut down the MacSlash site because someone posted what appeared to be a valid Longhorn serial number in a comment to a post there. (Story here.) From the logs, the MacSlash guys figured that that comment was accessed exactly once in the eight months it was there. By MSN's own search bot.

Chuck Goolsbee, head geek at digital.forest, responded to the hounds:

A short lesson in human nature... Try asking nicely. I realize that owners of intellectual property feel the need to enter into discussions with lawyers blazing, but I know from long experience that attack begets defence, whereas courtesy begets respect. If you look at this situation objectively, I'm sure you will realize that the site owners have not acted in any malicious way. The content in question was posted to the bulletin board by some anonymous user. So, rather than using terms like "Demand for Immediate Take-Down" why don't you try something like "Please remove copyright infringing content".

You will likely be amazed at how much better it works.

(I've always liked that Chuck!)

Of course, Ben from MacSlash edited the serial number out of the comment as soon as he realized it was there. The funny thing is that now that it's gone from MacSlash, it can still be seen in Google's cach e of the page. I wonder how many people have seen it now.

The Technical Research Centre in Finland has developed a technology to assist all of the health nuts in the world. It is a camera phone that scans barcodes at grocery stores and gives all of the nutritional information. This device also gives a purchase history and estimates how much exercise it will take to burn off calories contained. In this day and age, turning the package over and looking at the printed nutritional content is way too hard.

feathers hit the ground before the
weight can leave the air 01/04/2005 06:16 PM

I love that I can look out my office window, and watch a steady curtain of rain fall gently into my backyard. It looks like the powdered milk they used in Singin' In The Rain.

Occasionally, it knocks a leaf off this old maple tree that is in one corner of my yard.

The opposite corner is flooding.

There are about a dozen finches hopping around on my chinese elm tree. The rain doesn't seem to bother them.

It's chilly out, but I opened the window a bit so I can listen to them sing.
