Judge Tosses Streisand Aerial Photos
Lawsuit
12/04/2003 12:02 PMRemember back in June when Barbara Streisand
filed a
lawsuit against Ken Adelman for photographing her home as part of
his effort to photograph the entire west coast of the US for
environmental purposes? Despite the fact that it was one of many
thousands of photos, shows very little detail and was taken from
public airspace, Streisand claimed it violated her privacy. Well, now
a judge has looked at the suit, scoffed, and
tossed it out, saying that the lawsuit actually
infringed on Adelman's right to free speech. Once again, this is an
example of trying to hide something online - and in the process
drawing
a lot more attention to it. If Streisand hadn't spoken up, very
few people would even know the photo existed. Now, millions do - and
it's all completely legal.

retail theft (ORT) is "separate and distinct from petty shoplifting in
that it involves professional theft rings that move quickly from
community to community and across state lines to steal large amounts
of merchandise that is then repackaged and sold back into the
marketplace." The Top 10 shoplifted items:

fashion sense as well. The students from the SLIS at Dalhousie
University in Halifax, Nova Scotia are hawking some mighty fine

And, 'action figure' aside, my favorite one has to be the NLA shirt." [librarian.net]

Multiple-enclosures on RSS items?
Multiple-enclosures on RSS items?
12/22/2004 01:10 AM
Disclaimer: These are my thoughts, not spec
text.
This question comes up from time to time, and I've resisted
answering it directly, thinking that anyone who really read the spec
would come to the conclusion that RSS allows zero or one enclosures
per item, and no more. The same is true for all other sub-
elements of item, except category, where multiple elements are explicitly allowed.
The spec refers to "the enclosure" in the singular. Regardless, some
people persist in thinking that you may have more than one enclosure
per item.
Okay, let's play it out. So if I have more than one enclosure
per item, how do I specify the publication date for each enclosure?
How do I specify the title, author, a link to comments, a description
perhaps, or a guid? The people who want multiple enclosures suggest
schemes that are so complicated that they're reduced to hand-waving
before they get to the spec, which I would love to read, if it could
be written. Some times some things are just too hard to do. This is
one of them.
And there's a reason why it's too hard. Because you're throwing
out the value of RSS and then trying to figure out how to bring it
back. There's no need for items any more, so you might as well get rid
of them. At the top level of channel would be a series of enclosures,
and then underneath each enclosure, all the meta-data. Voila, problem
solved. Only what have you actually solved? You've just re-created
RSS, but instead of calling the main elements "item" we now call them
"enclosure".
Sometimes linear thinking leads you to a dead-end, and this is
one of those times, imho. You end up in a torus, there's no wall that
says "you may go no further" but somehow you keep going in circles,
chasing your tail, re-inventing RSS, when there's absolutely no need
to.
So people ask how will we fit show notes into RSS? Maybe we
won't. When you get into show notes, think outlines, and think about
linking MP3s into outline structures. I think this has more potential.
I could be wrong of course (not joking).

RSS, updated items, and links
RSS, updated items, and links
12/29/2004 08:29 PM
One of the big differences between RSS and email is that RSS items can
change.
So the question for any newsreader developer is this: what changes
should trigger an item being marked as unread?
Specifically, today I’m thinking about a subset of that
question: changes to <link> elements.
Take this hypothetical case:
1. An item looks like this:
<title>A title</title>
<description>A description</description>
<link>http://example.org/1</link>
<guid>123</guid>
2. Then the feed updates, and the <link> element changes:
<title>A title</title>
<description>A description</description>
<link>http://example.org/2</link>
<guid>123</guid>
The question: should it be marked as unread or not?
Right now, NetNewsWire marks it as unread. My policy has always been
to err on the side of marking things unread—on the assumption
that, otherwise, you might miss something important.
(Actually, NetNewsWire marks it as updated, and you have a pref that
says whether or not to mark updated items as unread. Which most people
leave turned on.)
The RSS 2.0 spec
doesn’t address the issue of when to consider an item
significantly changed—and I’m not sure the spec
should say anything about that.
Of course, I don’t want new prefs or special cases, I want the
best policy.
Perhaps changes to <link>s should not cause an item to be
marked unread. What do you think?
On a related topic...
People have often asked me why we can’t use the <link>
element as a unique identifier and permalink for news items.
It can’t be a unique identifier because it may change. The New
York Times feeds, for instance, change their <link>s frequently:
they include a query string that allows you to get past the
registration system, and that query string changes. (It’s the
New York Times feeds that prompted the discussion above about ignoring
<link> changes.)
<link>s can’t be permalinks because there is nothing that
says that a <link> has to be a permalink—it could point to
another site entirely.
Which is why I always ask people to use <guid>s in their feeds,
so we can identify items, so we can know when an item is an updated
version of a previous item.
(About Atom there is one thing I adore: that guids—called
<id>s there—are mandatory. I wish they could be
mandatory in RSS too.)

LAS VEGAS -- Now that we take such futuristic things as
high-definition video, broadband Internet, streaming audio, wireless
networking, and dozens of other IT victories for granted in today's
connected world, the next step is how companies are now using
combinations of these in new products. This year's International
Consumer Electronics Show, which first showed the VCR in 1970, the CD
player in 1981, and the DVD in 1996, is all about how current
technologies are teaming up to create new items. And we found some
good examples of how these are going to play out in the next few
years.
