Trying To Answer The What's Next
Question 05/07/2004 02:58 PM
CNET's News.com has been publishing their well done series of articles on offshoring this week, and have concluded with two that are worth reading. The first isn't really a part of the series, but goes well with it, explaining (again!) why protectionist plans don't work. This has been explained over and over again, and there are countless examples of how protectionist policies cause many more problems than they solve, but apparently, it needs to be reviewed once more. The second piece is much more interesting. The question that anti-offshoring people always bring up is "what other jobs are there?" They're afraid that all jobs will be offshored and then there will be nothing left (except, the example they love, flipping burgers). Of course, history has shown that's not what happens at all. The US was an agricultural economy for a long time, and we shifted and it certainly made life very difficult for a lot of people - but we innovated and created new jobs and a higher standard of living. We've done so again and again and again. So News.com is looking at what might be next. The problem, of course, is that it's difficult to predict what really is next. So often disruptive advancements seem to come from unexpected places. Researchers working on one thing serendipitously discover a completely different breakthrough that leads to an entire new industry. Of course, to put that all together though, we need to support better education and push for more research and development (which often isn't helped when companies only think in the short term thanks to Wall Street). However, to prepare for "what's next" we need to create a culture that involves constant learning and education focused on useful areas of expertise - and not so much on specific tactical expertise. Understanding how to make a horse and buggy isn't useful - but understanding the basic concepts concerning transportation is still useful no matter what mode of transportation is used. Having that base of knowledge, with constant additional training, let's someone work on buggies, automobiles, trains, planes and whatever else comes next.

Jack Valenti Actually Gets A Question He
Can't Answer

Jack Valenti Actually Gets A Question He
Can't Answer 04/28/2004 02:31 PM
One of my complaints concerning most interviews with Jack Valenti concerning his views on copy protection is that most interviewers don't ask any of the tougher questions that Valenti should answer. Now, Slashdot is pointing to an interview of Valenti by an MIT student, where the student confronts Valenti about why he can't watch legally purchased or rented DVDs on a Linux machines, and actually shows Valenti some "illegal" DVD descrambling code, which apparently gets a curse out of Valenti. While it is amusing to see Valenti get flustered, it doesn't seem like the most productive interview. Rather than focus in on such a tiny aspect (why you can't watch DVDs on a Linux machine) it would have been more interesting to get at some of the bigger questions concerning the MPAA's views on intellectual property - such as how things like the VCR (which Valenti called "the Boston Strangler of the movie industry") actually saved the industry.

Powell forces press aide to let him

Powell forces press aide to let him
answer Meet the Press question 05/17/2004 06:11 AM
Colin Powell appeared on Meet the Press this weekend, and his appearance was marred by his press secretary moving the camera and attempting to end the interview early when Russert, the interviewer, started to ask a hardball question about the fictional Nigerian yellow-cake uranium that Powell used as an excuse to go to war in Iraq.

Most noteworthy about this event was that Powell, rebuked the press-secretary on air, demanded that the camera be trained on him again, and then answered the question, describing the intelligence he'd received as "deliberately misleading."

Lisa Rein's got the video up -- highly recommended.

EMILY MILLER, STATE DEPARTMENT PRESS AIDE: You're off.

SECRETARY POWELL: I am not off.

EMILY MILLER, PRESS AIDE: No. They can't use it, they're editing it.

SECRETARY POWELL: He's still asking the questions.

EMILY MILLER, PRESS AIDE: He was not ...

SECRETARY POWELL: Tim, I am sorry I lost you.

MR. RUSSERT: I am right here Mr. Secretary. I would hope they would put you back on camera. I don't know who did that.

EMILY MILLER, PRESS AIDE: He was going to go for another five minutes.

SECRETARY POWELL: We've really scre...

MR. RUSSERT: I think that was one of your staff Mr. Secretary. I don't think that's appropriate.

SECRETARY POWELL: Emily, get out of the way. Bring the camera back please. (Camera returns to the interview subject) I think we're back on Tim, go ahead with your last question.

Syndication city
by Scott Rosenberg

I'm a late addition to a panel at the Supernova conference this Thursday, June 24: I'll be joining some very interesting people (Technorati's David Sifry; blogger, XML leader and now Sun engineer Tim Bray; and Paul Boutin of Wired and Slate). We're talking about syndication and RSS. The question the panel faces: "Is there more to syndication than reading 300 blogs at once?" What interesting, useful applications for RSS and RSS-like tools are out there or just around the corner?

I've got my own answer(s), but in the decentralized spirit of the conference, I'll open the floor here in comments, and present anything you folks suggest, too.

[Scott Rosenberg]

I have five questions/answers for Scott - I hope he picks me.....

1. How will the evolution of new kinds of micro-content, like Reviews, Events and music playlists - effect the existing blogosphere? A: it will enhance it, making it not onyl richer and deeper, but also make it more relevant to average people - who don't want or feel the need to blog, but who have opinions on movies, books and reataurants.

2. How will FOAF interconnect entire social networks, on-line communities and blogging tool userbases together? A: by enabling digital IDs that encompass multiple presences, end-users will be able to move freely from system to system without having to recreate their strong ties every time.

3. Finally - Salon was one of the first content sites to offer it's readership Blogs. Now that the AlwaysOn Network is also offering social networking - will Salon also offer social networking? I say - yes.

Amnesty and the Sweeps

Amnesty and the Sweeps 06/05/2005 11:19 PM

Every time there’s a TV Sweeps Week, when the Neilsen-rating results come out there’s a loser, and the loser always grumbles about how the methodology is busted and they’re really not doing that bad. Similarly, whenever Amnesty International points the finger at some government, that government makes like a losing TV network and whines that the process is broken. Recently, Amnesty had some pretty harsh things to say about the collateral human-rights damage from the US “War on Terror”. Dick Cheney snarle d predictably and the right-wing blogosphere is pushing back mightily: “AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL seems to have flushed its credibility...” and there are pages of outrage based, not on the substance of what Amnesty said, but on their temerity in comparing Gitmo to a gulag; thus, thousands of words explaining that the gulags were much, much worse; indeed they were and that was dopey of Amnesty. But it’s just so totally like how Central American dictators used to say “But the Communists are worse” and Communist governments used to say “But the Apartheid racists are worse” and Apartheid racists used to say “But the black-ruled dictatorships are worse.” I’m not an American, so this is just a hint from a friendly neighbor: being better than the gulags isn’t good enough. When your Neilsen ratings are bad, you need to run better shows, and when Amnesty gets on your case, you need to stop brutalizing people.

Clean Slate "amnesty" euthanized

Clean Slate "amnesty" euthanized 04/18/2004 05:39 PM
Jason Schultz analyzes the recording industry's withdrawal of its perp-walk "Clean Slate" program.

The RIAA has finally seen the light with regard to its "Clean Slate" program, which offered false amnesty, or shamnesty, to people who admitted to file sharing. Citing the success of its "education" campaign, the group has abruptly cancelled the program.

"Clean Slate" promised that in exchange for a confession, you could gain meaningful protection from lawsuits for copyright infringement. In fact, the program left you vulnerable to lawsuits by record companies and music publishers, as well as bands like Metallica that retain independent control of music rights.

Eric Parke, represented by Ira Rothken, brought suit, charging fraudulent business practices -- and here, perhaps, we can glean the true reason for the RIAA's change of heart. Its attorneys announced during a recent court proceeding that the group had discontinued "Clean Slate" -- and that therefore the case was moot. The announcement took Mr. Parke, his attorney and the judge by surprise.

RIAA Ditches Meaningless Amnesty Program

RIAA Ditches Meaningless Amnesty Program 04/19/2004 09:57 PM
Last fall, before the RIAA actually started suing people for sharing unauthorized music files, they offered their amnesty program, which basically said if you 'fessed up to sharing music and removed those files immediately, they probably wouldn't sue you. Of course, they couldn't guarantee that the actual copyright holders wouldn't sue - and in admitting guilt to the RIAA some felt that people would actually open themselves up to more liability for exactly that reason. In fact, even a US Senator, Norm Coleman, told people not to fall for the program and some people filed a lawsuit against the program, saying that it was deceptive. Well, now the RIAA (as they've been known to do) has asked that the lawsuit be dismissed because they've recently canceled the amnesty program. Of course, that makes you wonder. Is it okay to offer a "deceptive" program for a few months, and then ask that lawsuits against it are dropped once you stop? Doesn't that just encourage more temporary deceptive programs? The article also notes, by the way, that over 1,100 people actually signed up to request such not-really-amnesty. The RIAA promises that they'll continue to not sue those individuals, though, they still can't make the same promise for the actual copyright holders.
