NetCaptor's Adam Stiles just announced his new eBook, Shareware Business Blunders...and How to Avoid Them. Adam contacted 38 shareware authors - including myself - and asked them to talk about their mistakes, then compiled their answers into a 124-page PDF eBook.

If you're a shareware author or you're interested in becoming one, this book is certainly worth the $47 Adam is asking for it.

[This is an edited version of the talk I gave last fall at the State of Play conference.] I'm sort of odd-man-out in a Games and Law conference, in that my primary area of inquiry isn't games but social software. Not only am I not a lawyer, I don't even spend most of my time thinking about game problems. I spend my time thinking about software that supports group interaction across a fairly wide range of social patterns. So, instead of working from case law out, which has been a theme here (and here's where I insert the "I am not a lawyer" disclaimer) I'm going to propose a thought experiment looking from the outside in. And I want to pick up on something that Julian [Dibbell] said earlier about game worlds: 'users are the state.' The thought experiment I want to propose is to agree with that sentiment, and to ask "How far can we go in that direction?" Instead of looking for the places where game users are currently suing or fighting one another, forcing the owners of various virtual worlds to deal with these things one crisis at a time, I want to ask the question "What would happen if we wanted to build a world where we maximized the amount of user control? What would that look like?" I'm going to make that argument in three pieces. First, I'm going to do a little background on group structure and the tension between the individual and the group. Then I want to contrast briefly governance in real and virtual worlds. Finally I want to propose a thought experiment on placing control of online spaces in the hands of the users. - More at http://www.shirky.com/writings/nomic.html

abuses 03/15/2003 04:04 PM
EPIC -- the Electronic Privacy Information Center -- has released the latest installment in its ongoing Freedom of Information Act gallery of documents prised from governmental file-drawers. This one includes a lot of highly interesting material, including:

This internal FBI memo reveals numerous mistakes that agents made when using FISA. For instance, they illegally videotaped suspects, intercepted e-mails without court permission, recorded the wrong phone conversations, and allowed electronic surveillance operations to run beyond their legal deadline, during sensitive terrorism investigations. The existence of the memo was first revealed in documents that EPIC obtained through FOIA litigation...

An FBI anti-terrorism investigation involving Osama bin Laden was hampered by technical flaws in the Bureau's controversial Carnivore Internet surveillance system. The incident, which occurred in March 2000, is described in FBI documents obtained under court order by EPIC. A written report describes the incident as part of a "pattern" indicating "an inability on the part of the FBI to manage" its foreign intelligence surveillance activities.

What Is Web Accessibility?

What Is Web Accessibility? 04/30/2004 07:00 PM
While the methods we use to create accessible websites can be complex, the essential principles are simple: consider the obstacles your site presents to users who approach it differently than you do, then remove as many of those obstacles as you can. Trenton Moss provides a quick overview.

Korn on Accessibility

Korn on Accessibility 06/08/2004 03:38 PM
Accessibility technology is way more important than most people realize (hint: is your eyesight getting better or worse, year by year?) and there’s a lot of it and it’s hard to stay on top of. Peter Korn has a terrific snapshot of some of the hot stuff in that space; worth a read.

The Lifecycle of Web Accessibility

The Lifecycle of Web Accessibility 12/12/2002 10:51 AM
You can't believe how easy it is to turn a potentially accessible site into an inaccessible one. Developing a site for web accessibility has its own life cycle that is strictly interconnected with other disciplines such as graphic design, application development and content management. Here's a model to follow.

Understanding Color and Accessibility

Understanding Color and Accessibility 03/14/2005 06:09 PM
We all know that color can make or break a site. But beyond eye candy appeal, color choices also impact usability and accessibility. This can impact up to 1 in 12 people, roughly 8% of a site's potential audience. The solution is not to use only boring colors or do only simple designs. In contrast, by understanding better the relationship between color and accessibility, the designer can make inspired and creative choices for the multi-device Internet.
