Free baby photo trojan gets new moms to
sell baby-privacy 04/04/2005 06:24 AM
Cory Doctorow: A friend of mine worked at Procter and Gamble when they hit on the idea of giving away baskets of baby-related freebies to new moms. The idea was that a couple days after the family went home and they needed more diapers, mom would send dad out with the package from the freebies and say, "More like these, please." It's pretty clever, and I'm cool with it -- especially now that the whole thing is handled through brokers who take products from a variety of vendors, with input from maternity wards.

That, I think, is a pretty good way of marketing to new families. It doesn't compromise privacy, it gives them something they need, and it doesn't force them or lock them in. It's informative, useful, and respectful (provided that the marketing makes it clear that there's no medical endorsement of these products).

Compare that to this: a service that sneakily gets moms to agree to a "free baby photo" while they're signing all their necessary medical forms on the morning of their delivery. The company that takes the picture then sells your contact info to anyone who'll buy it.

On the morning of the delivery, the nurse hands a sheaf of forms to the mother-to-be. Buried within is a release form offering a free portrait of the new baby. Mom is wired to three different machines, having her pulse and blood pressure measured automatically while two others sensors detect uterine contractions and the baby’s heart rate and another chattering electromechanical behemoth plots a seismograph of both...

...[T]he photo enterprise is run by a third party, Growing Family. They’ll shoot a picture of your munchkin, in exchange for his or her name and birthdate and your full name and address...

Growing Family will use your information from time to time to promote additional products, services, rewards and special offers from Growing Family Network and its select Network Partners.

Another friend of mine had his baby daughter die from crib-death a few weeks after she was born. For years afterward, he and his wife got a steady stream of marketing materials, including ghastly "birthday cards" from marketers who'd bought the information that they'd had a baby, but never received the message that the baby had died. Needless to say, when their next baby was born, they never, ever bought products from the companies that ghoulishly continued to market to their dead daughter. Link (via A Whole Lotta Nothing)

The President plans yet another silly boondoggle and introduces faith -based driver education. What President are we talking about? Why, Saparmyrat Niyazov, the president-for-life of Turkmenistan. Or, as he likes to be called, "Turkmenbashi"--the " ;leader of all Turkmen".

He's got a lot of spiritual ideas and 24/7 TV coverage. Hey--he's against gold teeth and circuses. If it weren't for his dismal human rights record, I might vote for him myself.

Sometimes I have to remind myself that there are, in fact, much worse choices than the ones I have for November.

Detect and Repair mode

Detect and Repair mode 04/09/2004 03:54 PM

About once a month, Outlook becomes a pain in the ass for me to use for about 2 hours.

Inevitably, it'll hang on me while I'm doing something else, or some other process will hang while I'm using Outlook, and Outlook will refuse the shut down properly.

(I'm normally in the middle of about 15 things when this happens).

I'll shut down the XP box that I use, and let it sit for 20 minutes or so (I guess I'm hoping it'll get over whatever I did that made it mad at me).

After leaving it alone, I'll start it back up, and then I'll try to launch Outlook. It'll tell me that it wants to start in "Safe Mode" (and I'm like ... hmmm, does it normally run in 'un-safe' mode?). I'll let it try, and every-time, it'll faily to start up properly. I'll again, leave the machine alone for 20-30 minutes... hoping Outlook will figure out what's giving it problems, fix it, and then start up... about 90% of the time (or so it seems) it'll fail to start properly, and will just sit there telling me that it's "Not responding" (and I'm like "No Shit!")

So, I'll shut it down using the "End Process" command on the Windows Task Manager.

And then, I'll start up Outlook, and it'll tell me that something is horribly wrong, and that it needs to go into "Detect and Repair Mode". I'll click "ok" and then go away for another 20 minutes or so, while Outlook's installer tries to do it's thing.

About half of the time it works and Outlook continues to work (although it forgets some of my preferences).

The other half the time, I "rinse and repeat" this whole process.

This whole process happens about once a month, and it costs me around 2-3 hours each time it happens...

What a pain in the ass... total loss of productivity.

I don't think Apple Mail has ever 'ceased to function' on me, and I know that Mailsmith hasn't ever broken. Come to think of it, OS X has never crashed on me either...

Had to get that off my chest... Thanks for listening
