Convoy of Death

There’s only one war on our television screens now – that other war, the one from just a year ago, has been forgotten – but not by everyone. In Afghanistan, filmmaker Jamie Doran has uncovered evidence of a massacre: Taliban prisoners of war suffocated in containers, shot in the desert under the watch of American troops.

After screening the videotape last fall, the European Parliament called for an investigation. The United Nations has authorized an official investigation into the film’s allegations, but only if the security of its members can be guaranteed. And security is hard to find in northern Afghanistan. Since this documentary was filmed, eyewitnesses have been tortured. Others have disappeared or been killed.

Michael Powell Has No Problem Killing

A bit more evidence that FCC chair Michael Powell actually does know what he's talking about. The San Jose Mercury News is posting some quotes from his recent visit to Silicon Valley that suggest he understands many of the bigger issues facing the FCC these days and isn't (as some have suggested) looking to regulate everything. On access into the home, he says: "We don't want one pipe. We're doing everything we can to incent the free-radical opportunities for multiple routes to the home. So when you look at FCC proceedings, that's where there's so much energy going into WiFi, and ultra-wideband and powerline broadband and laser optics and free-space optics and other policies that encourage and incent the creation of alternate digital platforms." He even says that trying to regulate a company like Vonage is the same as killing them. He also, explicitly, realizes the very important separation of the platform from the application and realizes the ramifications of that: "And that's why if you're the music industry, you're scared. And if you're the television studio, movie industry, you're scared. And if you're an incumbent infrastructure carrier, you'd better be scared. Because this application separation is the most important paradigm shift in the history of communications, and will change things forever.... I have no problem if a big and venerable company no longer exists tomorrow, as long as that value is transferred somewhere else in the economy." Of course, those big companies have lots of lobbyists and friends in high places who are going to try to make Powell's job more difficult. What he needs to do is to convince them that, in moving forward, there are even more opportunities to make money.

Are Speakerphone Mobile Calls Less
Annoying Than Regular Calls?

Are Speakerphone Mobile Calls Less
Annoying Than Regular Calls? 04/21/2004 03:53 PM
Last week we noted a new study saying that people get annoyed with others talking on mobile phones because they only hear one half of the conversation. At the time, I wrote that this made sense as periods of silence followed by talking are a lot more jarring to the passive listener. However, this BBC report claims that the reason for the annoyance is that it shows that we're more curious about what the other party is saying. I'm not sure I buy that. It seems much more likely that it's the variability in noise, from silent to noisy rather than any form of curiosity. When the conversation is at a constant hum (even when loud), it's much easier to tune it out. Still, the findings do go against the opinion many people have expressed that things like "push-to-talk" where the phone usually acts as a speaker phone would be more annoying since we get to hear both sides of the conversation. In fact, the researchers behind the study are even suggesting that mobile phone makers may want to explore adding speaker phones to more phones to make them less annoying. Of course, the study only set up two conditions: a conversation on a mobile phone and a face-to-face conversation. They didn't test the speaker phone situation to see how annoying that was. It's possible that the annoyance factor comes from the inability to make use of body language to express concepts as well, leading to a different tone of voice.

Actually I have not been told I can't say anything but I have put my own gag order into place. Their are some of you I have known for years and I understand your feelings were hurt when I said sorry not commenting yet.

Regardless I will give you all the full story when the timing is right. I apologize for not spending as much time posting here as this project has taken up a considerable amount of my time. The holiday activities haven't helped either.
