Help introduce charities to free
software 12/20/2003 03:56 AM
When I recently searched for organisations that were trying to help introduce charities to free software, and I found practically no information. I find this particularly surprising, as charities are, in many ways, the most worthy organisations to use free software. If you can go to a charity and propose a solution that is more stable and secure, free from vendor lock-in, and free to use and maintain, you can help the organization plough the savings into the work it is there to do.

Wireless Technologies to Help the
Disabled 02/19/2004 03:25 PM
The Georgia Institute of Technologies is working on developing an array of devices, many of them using wireless technologies, to help disabled people: One system uses GPS, a mobile PC, and headphones to help blind people get around. The user programs a destination into the computer then the computer generates sounds that the user perceives to come from a certain direction. The sounds lead the user to the destination. Another project will make switching on lights or changing channels on the TV easier for people with limited motor control. Users can make certain gestures in front of a panel that beams infrared light at a video camera. When the user breaks the light with a gesture, the movement is translated by a computer which comands a household appliance over a wireless network. The researchers are able to work on these projects due to a $5 million, five year federal grant form the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, which was awarded two years ago....

iTunes hack disabled

iTunes hack disabled 03/22/2005 03:31 PM
A security hole that allowed users of PyMusique software to tap into the iTunes Music Store and purchase songs stripped of antipiracy protections has been closed by Apple. The PyMusique software emerged last week as a copy protection-free back door into the popular iTunes store. One of the creators was Jon Johansen, the Norwegian programmer responsible for releasing DVD-copying software in 1999. Apple released a statement Monday saying the problem had been fixed, and that some iTunes customers would need to upgrade their software."The security hole in the iTunes Music Store which was recently exploited has been closed, and as a consequence the iTunes Music Store will now sell music only to customers using iTunes version 4.7," the company said in a statement.

Cory Doctorow: Wagner James Au sez, "Second Life resident lilone Sandgrain, who IRL manages a large group of severely disabled people in a care center, recently convinced her bosses to give her nine clients an SL account of their own, to share. Since then, she's been slowly introducing them to the world. (And vice versa.) Avatar customization, online flirtation, and object creation take on new meanings, when they're conducted by a group of nine disabled people with wildly varying backgrounds from their wheelchairs."

"How did we decide on what we would look like, and our gender? We formed the man avatar first, because that day, we had more men in the group. We always wanted a female one, but we haven't taken the time to create her yet. Mary and Johanna would like that very much. We decided on how wilde would look first by starting with skin colors. We have both black and white in our real life group, and didn't want to have those because neither is better than the other. So we picked orange...

"Micah and Charlene could use the mouse," lilone replies, when I ask her if it's possible for each member of wilde to enter Second Life directly, perhaps with their own individual accounts. "John and Nichole could, but wouldn't alone. Micah can't read. Charlene has one hand, but can read." She shrugs. "None of them, really."

Their solution, for now at least, is lilone effectively acting as their interface: she sits at the keyboard, with the wilde group gathered in a semi-circle in a cramped care center room, peering over her shoulder and into the monitor, at the world inside...
