Starbucks Delocator URL now points to

Starbucks Delocator URL now points to
anti-Starbucks site 04/06/2005 02:05 AM
Cory Doctorow: Regarding yesterday's post on Starbucks Delocator, a site that shows alternatives to Starbucks, which has been scared off of using "Starbucks" in its name, Donna sez, "Blogger Scott Trudeau has registered StarbucksDelocator.com and StarbucksLocator.com and pointed them to the Starbucks Delocator site. Seems a noncommerical, noninfringing use of a trademark-referencing domain name to me -- and I'll wager the Ninth Circuit would agree." (Thanks, Donna!)

Cory Doctorow: NPR sez, "'The Delocator' is a site that helps you find independent alternatives to Starbucks in your neighborhood. So why isn't it called the 'Starbucks Delocator'? Because the San Francisco Art Institute was too scared that Starbucks would come through with the corporate smack-down. Of course this renaming means the site won't show up in google when people search for 'Starbucks', and what's the point if people can't discover it? Carrie McLaren is out to change that: she's launched a google campaign to get people to link to it by its real name, the Starbucks Delocator. Take that chilling effects. Now, get your link on!"

Did Starbucks Tell An Art Project About
Starbucks Not To Use Its Name?

Did Starbucks Tell An Art Project About
Starbucks Not To Use Its Name? 04/04/2005 11:34 PM
This one seems odd, and there's not enough evidence here to know how true the story is (or what the details behind it are). However, Copyfight has noticed a b log post about an online "art project" to show a comparison of the locations of local coffee shops with local Starbucks. The idea, of course, is to encourage people to go to the non-Starbuckian shops (though, in its current format, with very few independent coffee shops included, it seems to serve the opposite purpose, by just showing you where the Starbucks are, and leaving you thinking there's no competition). However, what caught the attention of the Copyfighter in question was the comments to that blog post, where someone asks why the offering, called Delocator.net doesn't appear to actually mention Starbucks anywhere. Someone apparently involved with the project responds that they were not allowed to use the name Starbucks anywhere, as Starbucks' lawyers would not allow it. This brings up the obvious question: why should Starbucks' lawyers have a say in such things? The only claim they could make is a violation of trademark, and if the site is clearly not associated with Starbucks (and the fact that they're pushing people to go elsewhere might give you a hint that they're not associated with Starbucks), then it's not a violation of trademark. Instead, it looks like Starbucks is yet another company trying to use trademark law outside of its intended purpose of avoiding confusion over brands, but more towards anti-competitive practices. Will they go after another coffee shop that compares their coffee to Starbucks' next? Of course, thanks to this policy, hopefully the Delocator site will get additional publicity -- proving, once again, that the Streisand effect works. The more you try to shut something down, the more likely it will spread via the internet.

Kinja announcements 04/09/2004 04:06 PM

After 15 months in the making, I'm pleased to announce that Kinja, a new weblog reading tool, has launched today. We worked really hard on it and hope you'll check it out. On a personal note, I'm spending another month at Kinja and will be leaving at the end of April. I'm sure I'll have more to say about that in the future, but for now, check out Kinja and some assorted media coverage:

Lessig Blog announcements 07/27/2004 09:36 AM
My wife, my kid and I are disappearing in August to a place that has no Internet, and only a satellite phone. In my absence, Professor Tim Wu from Virginia will be running Lessig Blog. Tim and I have worked together on "net neutrality" issues, and if we can steal him from Virginia, much more in the future. In addition to Tim, August will also feature two special guests. During the week of August 9, Congressman Rick Boucher will guest blog. And then during the week of August 23, Judge Richard Posner will guest blog. As when John Edwards (1, 2, 3, 4), Howard Dean (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), and Dennis Kucinich (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) were guest bloggers, I've advised Congressman Boucher and Judge Posner that my practice is not to block trolls, but that the practice of bloggers everywhere is not to feed trolls. I'd be grateful if members of this community could help keep the conversation constructive. Thanks to Congressman Boucher and Judge Posner, and to Tim Wu.

Updates to the Gentle Giant website today included a funky line of two to three inch tall Star Wars "Bust-Ups". Photos of series one are on the site and include Han as above, plus Luke, Leia, Chewbacca, Yoda, and C-3PO, though he is not shown. Another line of 1/6 scale collectibles called the Star Wars Armory Collection also premieres on the site. Shown is an X-Wing pilot helmet and listed is a TIE Figher Pilot helmet. Looks like this is set to replace the cool Riddell helmet line.

BloggerCon session announcements

BloggerCon session announcements 09/22/2004 08:31 AM

Session description: Bloggers and Journalists -- Border Crossings.

The next BloggerCon is November 6 at Stanford Law School. Late last week I started working with the discussion leaders, one-to-one, talking about how BloggerCon sessions work, and to get started on the session descriptions.

I like to present the sessions one at a time, on the BloggerCon site, and here on Scripting News. Starting today we'll be introducing sessions on a fairly regular basis until the grid is filled in, which will probably be the day before the conference, if memory serves me. ";->"

Scott Rosenberg, managing editor of Salon, will lead a discussion on journalism and blogging. He's an ideal person to lead this discussion because he's a skilled reporter, and both a journalist and a blogger. All three BC's have had sessions about journalism. The first discussion was led by Ed Cone, the second by Jay Rosen, and now we turn to Scott Rosenberg.

Macworld Expo Announcements

Macworld Expo Announcements 01/07/2004 07:06 PM
A fair number of new Apple products were announced at the Macworld Expo last night. As has been widely rumoured throughout the holiday season, Apple launched a slimmed down version of the iPod, called the iPod mini. The rumours were spot on about the range of colours (mmm, lime green), smaller capacity (4 Gb), smaller casing (a mere 3.6" x 2" — about fag packet size), though they were wrong about the use of Smart Media (the iPod mini uses a hard disk), and way off abut the price. This is the big surprise to me. The announced price is $249 — a fair bit more than the rumoured price of $100. Other announcements —

• a new 15 Gb iPod — replacing the 10 Gb model at $299 (UK)
• some new in-ear headphones (designed for the iPod)
• Xserve G5
• Final Cut Express 2
• iLife 04 — with a new music making app called GarageBand
• *cough* Micr osoft Office 2004
• some crazy bloke has spent $29,500 through the iTunes Music Store (?!)

Commentary: Novell made two major Linux-related announcements at CEBIT this week. They announced SUSE Professional 9.3, due to be released in April, and ZENworks 7 for Linux. Unlike many press releases in this industry, announcing a new customer contract or otherwise allowing marketing folk to message the masses (forgive me, Baud, for the babble-speak), these two actually have some weight to them. Novell's director of marketing for SUSE LINUX, Greg Mancusi-Ungaro, and ZENworks product management and marketing vice president Alan Murray combined to brief NewsForge on the news yesterday afternoon, following the SUSE Professional 9.3 announcement at CEBIT, but ahead of today's unveiling at CEBIT of the latest version of ZENworks.

Programming in Starbucks

Programming in Starbucks 06/17/2005 04:55 PM

We got over the hump, it was a bit of a panic at first, but I had made a change on the server at 5AM yesterday and didn't test it properly, and when the 25 new users showed up early on the evening of the 16th, well, that's the condition that failed. And my Internet access at home has been really flaky during the day, so it was down when we hit the problem, so I had to quickly drive to Starbucks to get online.

The good news is that I am actually able to get work done this way, so when I it the road again on July 1, I will be able to continue to move forward on this software, by programming in hotel rooms, Starbucks, public libraries, etc. Internet access is really starting to get ubiquitous.
