Watson bids Sherlock farewell
Watson bids Sherlock farewell
09/25/2004 11:37 AMWhen Apple took the wraps off Jaguar in 2001, one of the features that
garnered the most amount of criticism was the new and improved
Sherlock, which Steve toted as "Internet services for the rest of
us." Sherlock 3 incorporated mini browsers into OS X, which
brought commonly-used, customizable information to a user’s
fingertips:
<I>Sherlock is dramatically better than standard Web browsers at
retrieving and displaying some of the most practical and useful
information available on the Internet, like stock news, general
headlines, movie previews, locations and show times, yellow pages
listings, eBay auction activity and much, much more. Sherlock displays
each of these 'channels' in its own arrangement of columns and
panes.</I>
The only problem was, it already existed.
Of course, arguments can be made for both sides, and a case can
certainly be made for a logical evolution of Sherlock, but the fact
remains that Watson and Sherlock 3 accomplish the same tasks with
similar interfaces. Over the last three years, Watson and Sherlock
have coexisted in the same space — like Google and Yahoo, or Vienna
Fingers and Oreo Uh-Ohs!, users were left to choose between brand
recognition, color, taste, size, shape and speed.
And as of next Tuesday, it'll be all gone. Watson support will be
dropped (and it looks like its buyer, Sun, won't be releasing its own
port anytime soon). Its tools will be left to fester and whither while
Sherlock quietly rests on the top of the heap.
It seems that Apple has won and can now focus on its upcoming fight
with the Konfabulator crew. Perhaps things could’ve been different if
Apple had approached Watson’s creator Dan Wood and offered him some
compensation — or a job.
For many of you, Oct. 5 will come and go without a second glance.
Sherlock will still be there when you’re looking for a bite to eat or
are in the mood for a late-night movie. For the rest of us, who have
seen the dust accumulate on Sherlock since it stopped searching our
hard drive, the decline and demise of Watson will be a fond memory
that will always hold place in our computing history, marking one of
the few who refused to back down in the face of a corporate shadow,
and showed third-party developers everywhere that just because someone
else can do it, doesn't mean they can do it better.
On behalf of Watson users everywhere, Mr. Wood, we await your next
creation.

12/24/2004 12:10 PMAnother year of gaming goodness has passed us by and another is on
its way. It’ll be tough for 2005 to top 2004, what with Half Life 2,
World of Warcraft, Halo 2 and Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War being only a
few of the great titles we’ve had to choose from. Have we been
spoiled? Can 2005 possibly match 2004? All we can do is wait and see.
So, until next year, here’s some recent news and a few looks back at
the past 12 months.
Farewell, my lovely...
Farewell, my lovely...
12/05/2003 11:27 AMAnd so with a deep sigh I have consigned my beautiful Powerbook
(which has been with me a such a very little time) back to the welcoming arms of
Mother Apple. My child needs to be fixed. The strange mottling
blotchiness of his screen had become worse and worse as the days
passed by until they resembled nothing so much as a pair of staring
blank eyes - evil eyes - that hovered in front of every piece of work
I did, every movie I watched, every e-mail I sent. It's so difficult
with beautiful computers - you love them (like a child), training and
working with them until you operate as one (like a family) until
eventually they betray you (like a child all over again). But when
they turn sour that good feeling stays with you for longer - it's so
difficult to do what must be done but do it you must. They must be
sent off to faraway scientists who'll open them up with strange
devices, rooting around in everything that makes them what they are
and forcing their silicon biology back to standards that their parents
can live with. They must be brought back to civilised behaviour
whatever the cost.
Data may be lost - I accept that. The Powerbook that I gave to the
rather nice-looking man from UPS may not feel or be quite the same
when it returns. It will have been changed, fixed, broken and
reformed. But when it returns it will work - and work it must - for I
have typing to do.
Vietnam and Farewell
Vietnam and Farewell
12/19/2004 03:40 PMThanks, again, for all the terrific comments on the O'Reilly show.
I've learned a lot from them. I may write an op-ed about the
experience. But for now, a few words about Vietnam.
By the time we got to 1968, it was no longer possible to imagine a
criminal prosecution of Gene McCarthy for opposing the war.
Constitutional law and American culture had progressed to the point
that it would have been unthinkable for the Johnson or Nixon
administration to have treated antiwar leaders the way we once treated
people like Matthew Lyon, Clement Vallandigham and Eugene Debs. But
this doesn't mean the government couldn't find other ways to attack
dissent. Prosecutions for draft-card burning, flag burning, and the
public use of offensive language were frequently directed against
antiwar protestors, not because the "crimes" were worth punishing, but
because it was a way of "getting" those who offended government
officials.
More important, the government initiated an aggressive series of
undercover programs -- COINTELPRO ("counterintelligence programs)
designed to "expose, disrupt, and neutralize" the antiwar movement.
FBI agents and confidential informants infiltrated antiwar
organizations at every level to gather the names of those who opposed
the nation's policy. When all was said and done, the government had
compiled dossiers on half-a-million Americans. But the goal was not
just to create files. It was to act against those who had the temerity
to challenge the government.
The Nixon administration launched IRS audits of those who contributed
to antiwar organizations, the FBI sent letters to the landlords of
antiwar activists informing them that their tenant was a "Communist,"
it sent anonymous letters to colleges and universities accusing
antiwar activists of drug violations, it encouraged local police
agencies to arrest war opponents for traffic and other offenses, and
so on. The FBI also sent anonymous letters to members of antiwar
organizations accusing other members of embezzling the organization's
fund, sleeping with the partners of other members, and even being FBI
agents. The goal was to confuse, demoralize, distract, and discredit
those who opposed the war, without doing anything that could be seen.
None of this was known to the public until 1972.
Finally, a word about the Supreme Court. As we saw, in World War I,
the Court upheld the convictions of antiwar protestors under the
Espionage and Sedition Act. During World War II, the Court upheld the
Japanese internment in Korematsu v. United States. During the Cold
War, the Court in Dennis v. United States, decided in 1951, upheld the
convictions of the leaders of the Communist Party of the United States
on a charge that they had "conspired to advocate" the violent
overthrow of government. As Justice Douglas put the point at the time,
the Court had decided to "run with the wolves."
This is not a very happy record. Indeed, the conventional wisdom is
that the Supreme Court will never resist the executive branch in
wartime. This is overstated. During World War II, the Court held
unconstitutional the efforts of the Roosevelt administration to deport
American fascists; during the second half of the Cold War the Court
took a strong stand against McCarthyism; during the Vietnam War, the
Court rejected the Nixon administration's effort to enjoin the
publication of the Pentagon Papers and rejected its claim that it had
a constitutional power to engage in national security wiretaps without
a warrant. Most recently, the Court rejected the extreme claims of the
Bush administration with respect to the rights of the Guantanamo Bay
detainees and the rights of American citizens held as "enemy
combatants" by the United States military. We should not expect too
little of the Supreme Court.
Ultimately, though, the protection of civil liberties depends on an
informed, determined, and courageous public. As Louis Brandeis once
observed, "courage is the secret of liberty." May you all have the
courage of your convictions.
As Larry said when he introduced me, this is my virgin blog. It was
great fun for me, and I hope he'll invite me back again sometime. I
wish you all a happy and healthy New Year.

Farewell HyperCard
Farewell HyperCard
04/21/2004 11:54 PMMore than 16 years since its original debut, HyperCard was pulled from
Apple's site towards the end of last month (March 2004). Created by
Bill Atkinson of the original Macintosh team, HyperCard was a kind of
easy-to-use, visual database system / programming environment that put
custom application development into the hands of the average person.
It was one of the very first applications to implement the concept of
hypertext / hyperlinking / hypermedia. Originally offered freely to
all Mac users, HyperCard was embraced by so many and became the
vehicle of so much custom development that even the author was taken
aback.
