Canadian Copyright Board allows

Canadian Copyright Board allows
downloads, copyright levies 12/14/2003 12:27 PM

The Copyright Board of Canada issued a ruling on " private copying ", largely via peer-to-peer computing, with several components. First, downloading is acceptable, but uploading is not (presumably to target hyperpirates). Second, new mechanisms for levies were described, freezing current ones, allowing new charges.

the Copyright Board said uploading or distributing copyrighted works online appeared to be prohibited under current Canadian law. However, the country's copyright law does allow making a copy for personal use and does not address the source of that copy or whether the original has to be an authorized or noninfringing version, the board said.

When should changes take effect

When should changes take effect 01/22/2004 02:10 AM
Another question about Info/Inspector windows on OS X: when should changes take effect?

Some info windows (like NetNewsWire’s) have an OK or Apply button. Others update the object as you make changes in the Info window.

I think having a button is somewhat old-school: it’s very much like the days when non-document windows tended to be modal. You’d click OK to make the changes or Cancel to not make the changes.

But yet a button in a modeless window gives the user the chance to be explicit about making the changes. You can back out halfway through, and just not click the OK or Apply button.

Such a button becomes a problem, though, if you have multiple panes of info. To what does the button apply? All the panes where you made changes, or just the current pane?

(In case it’s not obvious, I’m adding some per-feed prefs—such as for feed validation—to NetNewsWire, and I’m looking at prior art in thinking about how to add extra info to the Info window. And I’m finding that prior art is a jumble: there is no clear consensus as there is with preferences windows. Ideas are of course welcome.)

The Matthew effect "It was Merton who identified and named the tendency always to assign exclusive scientific credit to the most eminent among all the plausible candidates. At least I hope it was he, though I'm sure Merton, who invented many wonderful jokes himself, would have been delighted if the credit for it turned out to be misattributed to him." Or is this called the flypap er effect? The question remains: Who popularized the phrase 'Shut up and Calculate!'

The Slashdot Effect

The Slashdot Effect 12/17/2004 06:43 PM

Slashdot effect: Interesting comments and links about the Slashdot effect.

Few definitive numbers exist regarding the precise magnitude of the Slashdot effect, but estimates put the peak of the mass influx of page requests at anywhere from several hundred to several thousand hits per minute. The flood usually peaks when the article is at the top of Slashdot's front page and gradually subsides as the story is superseded by newer items. Traffic usually remains at elevated levels until the article is pushed off the front page, which can take from 12 to 18 hours after its initial posting.

Someday people will live in fear of "The Gadgetopia Effect."

The Tivo Effect

The Tivo Effect 03/22/2005 04:32 PM

How big is something when it gets an "effect"? And what about when no one can decide what that "effect" is?

I'd been hearing about "The Tivo Effect" for a while, and I figured it'd make a good post, so I went looking for a definition. I found this article, this one, this one, this one, and dozens of others, all claiming something different about "The Tivo Effect."

As near as I can tell, it could mean:

• the tendency for advertisers to increase product placement within TV shows (since actual ads can now be skipped)
• the echo created by two TVs in the house watching the same show while one of them is "time-shifted" because of Tivo's ability to pause live TV.
• the inability to go back to life before Tivo
• the increased spare time you have now that you can reduce your TV watching into concentrated blocks of time
• the decreased spare time you have now that you record and watch shows you might never have recorded before

So I still have no idea what The Tivo Effect is, but what's important is that Tivo has affected television viewing to the point where it has a "named effect." And evidently so many of these effects that no one can agree what the most important one is. Do you have a definition for "The Tivo Effect?"

Someday there will be a "Gadgetopia Effect." When that day comes, someone please tell me what it is.

The Taligent Effect

The Taligent Effect 06/21/2004 01:20 AM

The Taligent Effect
By Don Box

Several times this week, I found my self using the term "the Taligent effect."

The Taligent effect is what happens when a group of people put adherence to a software trend first and lose sight of the value of shipping software that people will actually use.

Taligent was Apple's (and later IBM's) attempt to rewrite an existing product using the trends of the day. The product was an operating system (first called "Pink" when it was at Apple). The technology trend was objects, but because the project hung around so long without shipping, the trend at the end of the project was frameworks.

What was the net artifact of Taligent? Three beautifullyproducedbooks from Addison Wesley. That's it. No DLLs or EXEs that I can see.

Apple apparently learned their lesson from the Taligent experience and ultimately bet on the software stack from NeXT that was an amalgam of the BSD UNIX kernel, a message-passing layer from CMU, and an objective C compiler and library.

It took IBM a bit longer to learn from Taligent. IBM opted to double-down and refocus their Taligent investment on the San Francisco project. San Francisco was a set of Java-based "Business Frameworks" that by the time the project was end-of-lifed" had jumped on the design patterns trend.

What was the net artifact of IBM's San Francisco? More beautifully produced books From Addison Wesley. Not being an IBM insider, it's hard to tell how much of the SF code made it into this IBM EJB-based offering, but my guess is that IBM didn't get a great return on their investment.

Given the amount of excitement over SOA, I'm confident that there are several projects that are repeating the exercise as you read this.

As always, the book will likely be better than the movie.

[Don Box]

I was there - participating in a similar excercise called Kaleida Labs. Same story - different technology. This time it was o-o multimedia.

My god - what a cluster fuck! The VP of Engineering made sure that none of the engineers would let any of the marketing people know what was going on. Lovely, just lovely. God Bless Dave Kaiser.

If I tell you, it'll probably show up on your blog!" After introducing myself to a group of people (say, before giving a 1.5 hour "introduction to MySQL" type of talk), one of the folks in the audience also chimes in "and he has a popular weblog."
