Sock Puppets of Industry

Sock Puppets of Industry 02/01/2005 09:12 PM
A continuation from the previous post about a Feb. 3 announcement of a report on why municipal networks are a terrible, anti-competitive idea: In the previous post, below, I dissected BusinessWeek's blog entry on a new report that will be released on Feb. 3 from the New Millennium Research Council. In this post, I include the announcement's text after the jump below, and provide some background on each of the people who will be part of the press event. I've done this annotation not because I wholeheartedly oppose their point of view, but rather because a light needs to be shone on the connections between organizations that call themselves independent but have ties among each other and to the industries about which they are stating they have an objective opinion about. This is about transparency, and a pro-municipal telecom group that was similarly opaque would receive the same treatment. (Oddly, there only appear to be pro-individuals and municipalities, not groups that I've heard from or about.) David P. McClure, president and CEO of the US Internet Industry Association. This association filed an amicus brief on behalf of Verizon in an RIAA suit in which Verizon was trying to be compelled to release user information. Verizon also holds a board seat in the organization. It appears generally pro-consumer in terms of privacy and disclosure--because it's against shifting the burden of enforcement to ISPs--and anti-regulation for taxing and oversight. Steven Titch, senior fellow for IT and Telecom Policy at The Heartland Institute. The Heartland Institute describes itself as a genuinely independent source of research and commentary. Sascha Meinrath noted that the institute refuses to disclose its funding sources and doesn't list affiliations of Board of Directors on their website. However, it is a 501(c)(3) corporation. On its Form 990 filed with the IRS for 2003 (filed under an extension before August 2004), the organization checked a box on Schedule III, Part A, line I that reads, "During the year, has the organization attempted to influence national, state, or local legislation, including any attempt to influence public opinion on a legislative matter or referendum." They checked No for 2003. If they had checked yes, they are required to fill out Part VI-A and VI-B detailing expenses in cash and by other means. In 2003, they received $1.5 million in contributions from unnamed sources out of $1.8 million in revenue. The Heartland Institute...

Sock Puppets Disappoint

Sock Puppets Disappoint 02/05/2005 09:27 PM
The "report" is out, and it's a short article that has no original research: The Heartland Institute has published what it called in the advance press a "report," but which appears to be a several paragraph long article that uses entirely secondary sources as its basis. (Correction: This is just an article introducing the topic. More on the report later; here's the link to download it.) The article starts out saying that municipalities want to add broadband wireless to boost the economy: The theory goes like this: With widespread wireless Internet access available to anyone, local economies will boom and jobs will come to the city in droves. It then cites Ashland and Tacoma as two poor projects in municipal broadband. But both of those cities deployed extensive fiber optic networks that have been used to provide service throughout cities that had poor infrastructure. Growth was being restricted because incumbents were unable to provide what the cities wanted for their economic future. Both Tacoma and Ashland are offering residential and business Internet access and television services at competitive market rates. Both have several private Internet providers that offer access; the fiber network is just dial tone. I'm looking into the numbers that this article cites from a Beacon Hill Institute report. ...Wi-Fi projects are likely to go over budget. Telecom industry experts already question whether the Philadelphia Wi-Fi system can be built for its proposed cost of $10 million....“When Philadelphia announced it would be doing its citywide network at a price of $10 million, that figure was laughed at. It’s way too low,” said Anthony Townsend... Since Philadelphia plans to issue a contract to a private partner to build the network--we'll find out more in a few days when they make their formal announcement of their full plans--the $10 million is still an estimate. Anthony Townsend is quoted here from an article in Reason in which he is also noted stating that municipal projects are feasible. He should know: even though he is listed as having an association with the New Millennium Research Council (NMRC), he was a founder of nycwireless (the folks who originally brought Wi-Fi to a number of public places in New York City), and emenity, a firm that has been engaged in public-private partnerships with economic development districts in New York to add free Wi-Fi. He's been promoting municipal wireless in various forms for several...

Is That Your Finger in Your Ear, or...

Is That Your Finger in Your Ear, or... 12/11/2003 04:57 PM
I've long remembered something about a wrist-phone with mic hidden in the wristband and thumb as earphone, allowing you to talk on the phone simply by making the international sign for "I'll call you." Unfortunately I never blogged it and soon lost track of the link.

Thankfully, it appears to have returned, albeit a finger, not a thumb, in your ear. Yahoo! News reports that NTT DoCoMo's Masaaki Fukumoto is developing the idea. Similar to the "bone phone" idea back in the 70s or 80s, sound travels as vibrations through the bones to the finger, into the ear, where the eardrum converts them back into sound. And as if that weren't juicy enough, "by touching forefinger to thumb, the user starts or ends a call, and uses voice recognition technology to dial the number."

You _know_ I want one...

And your mind on more important matters :).This get s alot easier to do when you have good software to help you out. After all, the computer is supposed to HELP you, right? One of the places that will get you lost faster than most is in the area of browser Favorites. In my case, I sometimes have a teensy bit of trouble handling the 4500 or so bookmarks I have, not to mention adding more.As you add more and more, it becomes harder and harder to keep them straight and to find ones you want. And that, my friends, is where Check&Get comes in.Check&Get 2.0 is a completely new version of this bookmark manager. The program handles bookmarks the way that Explorer handles files, complete with a tree-view of folders, and the bookmarks are just as easy to manipulate. It comes with a built-in browser window that will actually show you each bookmark you select, search facilities, an Import/Export/Synchronize tool, and a tool that lets you send the program to check web pages for changes on a schedule.There are even more features. Check them out and Get your own copy at http://activeurls.com/en/index.htm. It works with Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, and Mozilla.

Is That Your Finger In Your Ear Or Are
You Just Talking To Someone? 11/05/2003 09:23 PM
Remember in the days when mobile phone microphone/ear-pieces were relatively new? You would see someone walking down the street and think they were crazy - until you realized they were talking on their phone. Now, we may have a repeat of that phenomenon - but with people sticking their fingers in their ears. I know I've seen this one before, so I'm not sure why it's popping up again now, but a Japanese company is coming out with a watch phone that requires you to stick your finger in your ear to hear what's going on. Apparently, NTT DoCoMo is pushing forward with the idea, which might make more sense in a Japanese society where people are more used to bowing than shaking hands...

Shield Finger Guard

Shield Finger Guard 06/22/2005 01:57 AM

American Guardian Inc. is selling the 'Shield Finger Guard,' a strip of plastic with adhesive that makes it impossible for children to pinch or sever their delicious fingers in the hinge side of swinging doors. Two models are available, with either a temporary, removable adhesive for homes (your kid will eventually get old enough to know better or, optimally, be left with a nubby stump too large to fit into the gap) or a permanent adhesive for schools and nurseries.

The Shield Finger Guard is $10 bucks, available at select retailers.

Two-Finger Scrolling on an iBook

Two-Finger Scrolling on an iBook 03/14/2005 05:09 PM

Just installed a new kernel extension to get that two-finger scrolling on an iBook G4. Works like a charm. The one that handles both methods is a little screwy because it switches to X/Y mode as you're making circles and the scroll kind of jitters, so get both of them and test each one to see which you like better. I've found the X/Y one to be the best, which is also, coincidentally, the mode Apple chose for the new PBs.

Show Microsoft a finger

Show Microsoft a finger 09/22/2004 04:34 AM
How often do your words come back to haunt you?  Just a few months ago, in the Identity Management newsletter (see link below) I said that in the mid-to-late 1990s we thought that all keyboards would have fingerprint readers built-in. I also suggested that you check out such keyboards the next time you were in a computer store. How wrong I was, at least as far as Microsoft is concerned.

A man got too close to a jaguar at the Rio Grande Zoo and lost a finger. Before zoo employees realized what had happened, the guy fled the scene. Apparently, it's illegal to pet the predator. After the finger was found outside the jaguar's cage, police took a print from the detached digit and tracked the guy down through his zoo pass. Sadly, the frequent visitor who came to the zoo almost daily is now banned. I bet the jaguar will miss him. "They're not your friends, they're not your pets," the zoo director said. "They're wild animals." Link

All of the complaining--the moaning, the crying about the iPod mini being too expensive, not worth it, never gonna sell, piece of junk, what a mistake!, I can't believe how Apple dropped the ball on this one, et-cetera. And yet.

Apple has received over 100,000 pre-orders for the iPod mini which was introduced last month.

I think that was the sound of the iPod mini flipping you off. I think.
