Euro Gamers Finding Ways to Get PSP 03/19/2005 02:58 AM
With the release of PlayStation Portable in Europe now delayed at least several months, gamers are increasingly turning to other ways to get their hands on the highly anticipated gaming console. In London, some have even turned to "grey market" retailers where the imported Japanese version garners as much as three times the retail price.

RIAA squats and dumps on nation's

RIAA squats and dumps on nation's
libraries 06/23/2004 02:12 PM
As part of the antitrust settlement against the RIAA, the record labels are obliged to donate a large number of discs to public libraries. Rather than giving America's libraries decent music, the RIAA is dumping the worst deletes and cutouts in their warehouses, dumpsterloads of reeking liquid shit, and blaming it all on a computer error:

The Des Moines (Iowa) Public Library was on track to take the lead in redundancies, though the identification of the programming bug may come in time to avert what might have been a record overkill. Its crate of 2,647 CDs, due to arrive in the next couple weeks, was listed as containing 430 single-song discs -- 16 percent of the total -- of Whitney Houston singing "The Star Spangled Banner" at the 1991 Super Bowl, according to Steve Cox, of the Iowa State Library.

The New Laptop and the Future of Music
in Libraries

The New Laptop and the Future of Music
in Libraries 01/03/2005 01:34 AM

Last month I asked for advice about laptops, and I got alot of great responses. Enough people advised against a Tablet PC that it was the first option I discounted since I knew I couldn’t afford one robust enough to offset the criticisms. That left a regular Windows-based machine or an Apple iBook. As is often the case when I ask these types of questions, most of the respondents were Mac enthusiasts and they made such a great case for the iBook that I had one all picked out.

However, as I was reviewing what I really wanted the laptop to do, I realized that my music service of choice, Rhapsody, only runs on Windows. As I’ve noted several times in the past, the only way to get my Rhapsody away from me is to pry it from my cold, dead hands. Yeah, I know iTunes is the bomb on a Mac, but it’s just not for me. I like buying single songs, but I love listening to any of over 800,000 songs more. There are more songs I just want to listen to and/or sample than there are songs I want to purchase, even at 99 cents. I can sample hundreds of new albums every week – the whole album – which is something iTunes doesn’t offer. And boy do I love me my Rhapsody when I’m traveling, which made it a required installation on my laptop.

There were a couple of other programs besides Rhapsody that required Windows, so Windows won in the end. Does it suck that a few programs further lock in the monopoly? Yeah, it really does. Sure, I could have jerry-rigged the iBook to simulate Windows in order to run Rhapsody, but I’m getting tired of jerry-rigging things lately.

So I ended up getting a Gateway 4530GZ, a monster machine with a 1.7Ghz Centrino processor (4–1/2 hours of battery life!), a 100GB hard drive, 512MB RAM, an SD/Memory Stick slot, 4 USB ports, 1 FireWire port, a multi-format DVD writer, a 15” screen, and of course, embedded 802.11g wireless. All in a package that weighs just 5.5 pounds and at a great price. I just can’t get over how light it is, especially compared to the previous laptop.

So while I still have a list of suggestions for improvements I want to send in to the Rhapsody folks, I’m back to being a nomadic computer user, and the kids are quite jealous (I’m not letting them use this laptop). Speaking of whom, here’s yet another kid story.

We visited Barnes & Noble last week to let the kids buy some books with their Christmas money. Kailee also visited the music section, and when I caught up with her, she had a list of songs she wanted me to put on a CD for her. At no time did she ask to buy the CDs, nor did she ask us to get them from the library. She just doesn’t think of music that way. She listens to songs on Rhapsody and then she tells me which ones she wants on a mixed CD. Apparently being in the store just reminded her to look for the names of the songs.

Compare that with David Pogue’s recent observation:

See the Movie, Buy the Song

“Yesterday, for example, we drove about 40 minutes to a special Imax theater that was showing ‘The Polar Express’ in 3-D….

Anyway, there’s a catchy song in the movie that my kids kept singing all the way home. Well, the first two lines, anyway; that’s all they could remember. So when we arrived home, although we had only ten minutes before bedtime, I thought I’d put all of this Internet digital-music stuff to the test.

I fired up the iTunes Music Store, typed in ‘Polar Express,’ and had the song bought ($1) and playing on my computer within—no exaggeration—60 seconds. Now that I knew the name of the song, I hit Google, typed ‘When Christmas Comes to Town lyrics,’ and clicked the ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ button. Boom, I was looking at the complete lyrics.

In the time it had taken my kids to take off their coats and snowy shoes, all of us were standing in front of the computer, volume cranked, happily singing along by reading the lyrics as iTunes played. Three times, in fact.” [Pogue’s Posts]

All of which worries me that music doesn’t have much of a future in libraries, particularly in public libraries. There’s already a digital “box set” of U2 music on iTunes that has 446 songs on it, plus a lot of rare and live goodies. In particular, it has 40 previously unreleased tracks, which means there are 40 tracks out there that no library anywhere can circulate. Talk about a digital divide.

Not only that, Engadget asks 2005 Year of the MP3 Phone? Go read it and then remind yourself that this is a rhetorical question and the answer is yes. So where does all of this leave libraries?

Netherlands Bound - Ticer Course on
Digital Libraries! 04/11/2005 08:28 AM

I’m thrilled to be included as a presenter in this year’s International Ticer School at Tilburg University in the Netherlands this coming August, even more so after I saw the list of other speakers! Here’s the press release:

“The International Ticer School (known for its former International Summer School on the Digital Library) offers a brand new, modular course for librarians and publishers: ‘Digital Libraries à la Carte: Choices for the Future,’ to be held at Tilburg University, the Netherlands, 22-26 August
2005.

From its 'menu' of five one-day modules, you can pick your choice:

• trends and strategic issues
• technological developments, relevant to libraries
• consortia and licensing
• open Access and institutional repositories
• the role of libraries in teaching and learning

Top speakers will present their views. Below is a selection.

• Marissa Mayer is Director, Consumer Web Products at Google
• Derk Haank is CEO of Springer and former CEO of Elsevier
• Peter Suber and Richard Poynder are among the most cited authors on Open Access
• Jenny Levine's blog (theshiftedlibrarian.com) is read by thousands of librarians
• Carol Tenopir has published over 200 journal articles and is cited frequently
• Deb deBruijn closed the worldwide biggest consortium deal (over 50 million dollar)
• Gerry McKiernan is the compiler of several known Web registries
• Steven Gilbert is president of The TLT Group and an expert on learning landscapes
• Pat Maughan transforms the undergraduate curriculum at the prestigious UC Berkeley to include information literacy training

To guarantee a highly interactive programme, the number of participants is limited to 45 per module, lectures contain an interactive component, and two
modules are concluded with a practical workshop. The course is recommended by JISC, the DARE project and SURF Diensten.

The course website can be found at www.ticer.nl/05carte/. If you register before 1 June 2005, we can offer you a discount. Do you want a quick update in just one to five days? Then Tilburg is the place to be this summer!”

Sounds pretty awesome, doesn’t it? There’s more information on the web site (including full descriptions of each module), so if you can attend, I highly encourage it!

Search Engine Technology and Digital Libraries - Libraries Need to Discover the Academic Internet by Norbert Lossau, Bielefeld University Library, Germany
D-Lib Magazine June 2004 Volume 10 Number 6
http://www .dlib.org/dlib/june04/lossau/06lossau.html

This article is the revised and elaborated version of a presentation that was delivered at the invitation of the American Digital Library Federation (DLF) at their Spring Forum meeting in New Orleans (http://snipurl.com/7kqx). It will be followed by "Search engine technology and digital libraries: Moving from theory to praxis" as a collaborative article from this author and Friedrich Summann, Head of IT at Bielefeld University Library. With the development of the World Wide Web, the "information search" has grown to be a significant business sector of a global, competitive and commercial market. Powerful players have entered this market, such as commercial internet search engines, information portals, multinational publishers and online content integrators. Will Google, Yahoo or Microsoft be the only portals to global knowledge in 2010? If libraries do not want to become marginalized in a key area of their traditional services, they need to acknowledge the challenges that come with the globalisation of scholarly information, the existence and further growth of the academic internet.

DELOS Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries
http://www.delos.info/

The DELOS network intends to conduct a joint program of activities aimed at integrating and coordinating the ongoing research activities of the major European teams working in Digital Library - related areas with the goal of developing the next generation Digital Library technologies. The objective is to: a) define unifying and comprehensive theories and frameworks over the life-cycle of Digital Library information,and b) build interoperable multimodal/multilingual services and integrated content management ranging from the personal to the global for the specialist and the general population. The Network aims at developing generic Digital Library technology to be incorporated into industrial-strength Digital Library Management Systems (DLMSs), offering advanced functionality through reliable and extensible services. The Network will also disseminate knowledge of Digital Library technologies to many diverse application domains. To this end a Virtual Digital Library Competence Centre has been established which provides specific user communities with access to advanced Digital Library technologies, services, testbeds, and the necessary expertise and knowledge to facilitate their take-up.

Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL), 2005
http://www.jcdl2005.org/

The Joint Conference on Digital Libraries is a major international forum focusing on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues. The theme of JCDL 2005 highlights the powerful role of digital libraries as cyberinfrastructure. This cyberinfrastructure has the potential to engender the creation of new tools, research methodologies, and processes that will enable scientists and learners to investigate the natural world, the social world, and the human-built environment in new and previously unimaginable ways. As global interests in computation, information management, networking, and intelligent sensing converge, the conduct of research and education will be transformed. They welcome researchers and practitioners with broad and diverse interests including: technical advances, usage and impact studies, policy analyses, social and institutional implications, theoretical contributions, interaction and design advances, and innovative applications in the sciences, humanities, and education. Participation is sought from all parts of the world and from the full range of disciplines and professions involved in digital library research and practice, including computer science, information science, librarianship, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, technology, medicine, social sciences, and humanities. All domains - academe, government, industry, and others - are encouraged to participate as presenters or attendees. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Tesco, the UK's biggest retailer, recently announced record full-year profits and now controls a frighteningly dominant 27% share of all grocery sales in the UK. Put another way, the retail juggernaut now accounts for one in every eight pounds spent in British shops. Such a lofty position has got many worried and Tesco is getting flak for everything from being responsible for shutting down rural post offices to becoming a fully-paid up agent of Big Brother. Now Tesco has its very own nonaffiliated bloggers. The team behind Supermarket Sweep Up - a vertically targeted blog - say their aim is to place the UK's biggest retailer under "greater public scrutiny". Now that big media can't afford to run decent investigative journalism, is a collaborative 'investigative blogging' the best way forward?

Lethal injection hurts

Lethal injection hurts 04/16/2005 02:49 PM
David Pescovitz: Lethal injection as its currently practiced may not be a particularly painless way to execute someone. In the medical journal The Lancet, researchers report that in 90% of the cases they examined, the executionees were not completely anesthetized to pain when they were kicked off this mortal coil and 40% may have been conscious when it happened. Since they couldn't very well ask their subjects, the researchers analyzed the post-mortem blood levels of anesthetic in 49 executed inmates. From New Scientist:

Since 1976, when the death penalty was reinstated in the US, 788 people have been killed by lethal injection. The procedure typically involves the injection of three substances: first, sodium thiopental to induce anaesthesia, followed by pancuronium bromide to relax muscles, and finally potassium chloride to stop the heart.

But doctors and nurses are prohibited by healthcare professionals’ ethical guidelines from participating in or assisting with executions, and the technicians involved have no specific training in administering anaesthetics.

“My impression is that lethal injection as practiced in the US now is no more humane than the gas chamber or electrocution, which have both been deemed inhumane,” says Leonidas Koniaris, a surgeon in Miami and one of the authors on the paper. He is not, he told New Scientist, against the death penalty per se.
