What Can't
I Do Today? (Donna Wentworth)
A Slashdotter, on Endangered Gizmos and the
threat to harmless "me2me
" uses:
At this point, I've accepted that there are things I do
that may someday be considered a crime. ...:- Record TV shows
from my DirecTV reciever that I pay a monthly subscription fee for
into my computer using a Hauppauge PVR250 card for archival purposes
(to show friends and family when they come over)
- Rip all CDs that I buy to the infinitely more convenient Ogg
Vorbis format so that I can listen to my music anywhere
- Stream any audio or video from my house to wherever I happen to
be using a VPN connection and broadbad. This means I can listen to my
music collection, watch my DVDs or even DirecTV as long as I have an
internet connection
- Build custom digital media devices that don't have the limitations
that commercial products do
...It's a wonder it's not illegal to use a hammer, nails, screwdriver,
drywall, plaster and screws to build or modify your house any way you
want.
Basically, the notion of "owning a song" when you
buy it in some format is going to be over if Hollywood has any say. In
the old days, if you had an album, you could tape it and listen to it
in your car or anywhere you wanted to. You basically "owned the song."
Now you own the song on your Mac/iPod. Or own the song on Microsoft...
or own the DVD in Region 1... If you've purchased thousands of tracks
on Apple Music Store and decide you're going to stop using iTunes and
iPod, you're shit out of luck. Or if you have a thousand DVDs and you
move from the US to Japan. Yes, there are workarounds, but they will
try to make more and more laws to prohibit people from building
workarounds.
So my question is... Does this INCREASE or DECREASE the likelihood
that I'm going to want to build a massive music or movie
collection?

08/02/2004 02:37 AMImagine this guy, who discovered that the airport security folks have
mistakenly planted some TNT in his luggage,
is going to a U.S. destination, and if the customs and/or security
staff at the U.S. airport has discovered the TNT, what is going to
happen? He is going to go through hell, that's what it is going to
happen. He will be lucky if he can see his family again for the next
few months.

06/24/2004 09:16 PMMe, My
Mobile and I
"A new generation of mobile users are becoming so emotionally
attached to their phones that they cannot live without them.
This is one of the key findings of a study into how people use
their mobile phones entitled Me, My Mobile and I.
The annual study from research firm Teleconomy reveals that 10 to
14-year-olds - dubbed M-Agers - are rapidly becoming the most
sophisticated users of phones.
Even toddlers are able to tell the difference between incoming
phone calls and text messages said Professor Michael Hulme, chairman
of Teleconomy....
'They are growing up ready to take on these services,' said Prof
Hulme....
Phones are rapidly replacing address books, diaries, watches and
alarm clocks as people turn increasingly to their handsets to help
manage their lives." [BBC News,
via textuall
y.org]
An admittedly small study group, but the findings are well
supported elsewhere. The two killer statistics, though - and the ones
to which libraries need to pay particular attention - are that
"32% see phone as tool rather than intimate object"
and "85% of children had personalised phones."
It's not like these things are going away, you know.

07/08/2004 05:24 PM
Disney's 1950s television
show Tomorrowland, a stunning example of the future's history, is now
out on
DVD. This morning,
National Public Radio aired a nice history of the program by
commentator Andrew Chaikin. The story goes that famed Disney artist
Ward Kimball pitched Tomorrowland to Walt after reading a series of
articles
about space exploration in Collier's Magazine. Real rocket scientists
like Wernher Von Braun were then brought in to Disney as consultants
on the show. The first episode, Man In Space, aired March 9, 1955.
From the NPR piece:
"Man In Space got rave reviews. President Dwight
Eisenhower personally requested a copy of the show to screen for
military brass at the Pentagon to help them understand plans to launch
a satellite."

Down and Out in the
Magic Kingdom, Cory Doctorow's first novel released a little over
a year ago, has just
been relicensed under an Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike
license. Previously the book did not allow derivative works and
any "lost
chapters" or comic versions were unauthorized. With this change in
place, the door is wide open to people writing prequels, sequels, and
side stories, you can make a movie, cartoon, or graphic novel, you can
write songs for it, rewrite it in haiku, and/or turn it all into one
giant flowchart, as long as your new Down and Out-inspired work isn't
released in a commercial context or sold.

straight people. I was amazed to see him pilloried in the gay press

this disfavor arose from his assertion that aspects of the hard-won
sexual freedom enjoyed by many gay men were also killing them. Anyone

Hotmail gets SPiFfy
Hotmail gets SPiFfy
07/23/2004 03:09 PMOK, so I'm stretching for a clever title there. But the good news
is that Microsoft
has now joined AOL, Earthlink, and other large email providers by
publishing Sender Policy
Framework records for all their e-mail addresses, and are using
SPF validation to scrutinize inbound mail.
The company is strongly urging e-mail providers and
Internet service providers (ISPs) to publish Sender Policy Framework
(SPF) records that identify their e-mail servers in the domain name
system (DNS) by mid-September. Microsoft will begin matching the
source of inbound e-mail to the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of
e-mail servers listed in that sending domain's SPF record by Oct. 1.
Messages that fail the check will not be rejected, but will be further
scrutinized and filtered, said Craig Spiezle, director of Microsoft's
Safety Technology and Strategy Group.
Basically it works like this: If I'm joe@example.com and
bob@aol.com sends me an email, the example.com server will receive a
request from an aol.com server to send a message. The example.com
server then checks to see if the contacting server is listed with an
SPF record in the aol.com DNS. If it is, then I know the mail is
really from AOL. If it's not, then I know it's a spoof. This doesn't
stop spam, but it at least makes servers truly accountable for spam,
so the griping goes to the right place, and blacklists can be more
accurate.

08/18/2004 10:48 PMDownloading your hotmail inbox
Downloading your hotmail inbox
12/02/2003 12:40 AMAdrian just pointed me to a fantastic tool: Gotmail, a utility to
download mail from Hotmail accounts. It's a command line utitlity,
written in Perl and making use of the curl binary, which can connect
to Hotmail over the web and grab any new emails, saving them locally
as an mbox file and deleting them from the Hotmail server.
Naturally, anything like this is completely dependent on Hotmail's
design staying the same and maintaining the tool is a constant arms
race. At the moment, Hotmail is ahead - a recent upgrade to the
Hotmail design (some time in the last few days) has rendered Gotmail
useless. A call for help on the Gotmail mailing list from the lead
developer makes particularly interesting reading. He's looking for
developers and users who can help with the debugging effort required
to get the tool working again, but the last paragraph of the email
really caught my attention:
Developers: If you have some Python proficiency, and would like to
assist in developing the next generation of Gotmail (development
name: gotfemail), email me off-list. I have some pretty ambitious
plans for this project, and depending on how much is actually
implemented, Hotmail breakages should be either self-fixing or very
simple to fix. I've done some work on making a generic library for
this sort of job (so the fetchyahoo people and others might be
interested), and some preliminary work on embedding the Javascript
interpreter from the Mozilla project.
A self-fixing screen scraper sounds like one heck of an interesting
project, and I can't complain about the choice of development language
either ;) If you're a Python hacker looking for a new project this
could be well worth checking out.
