The Evolving PC Audio Landscape

The Evolving PC Audio Landscape 07/22/2004 11:20 AM

With the arrival of Intel's HD Audio, Microsoft planning some big changes for handling Longhorn audio, and a software DVD-Audio shipping, the state of PC sound is in flux. Here's ET's take on the current situation--and a glimpse at what's just around the corner.

The Internet at 35: Still Evolving
http://snipurl.com/8qfg

Thirty-five years after computer scientists at UCLA linked two bulky computers using a 15-foot gray cable, testing a new way to exchange data over networks, what would ultimately become the Internet remains a work in progress. University researchers are experimenting with ways to increase its capacity and speed. Programmers are trying to imbue Web pages with intelligence. And work is underway to re-engineer the network to reduce spam and security troubles. All the while threats loom: Critics warn that commercial, legal and political pressures could hinder the types of innovations that made the Internet what it is today. Stephen Crocker and Vinton Cerf were among the graduate students who joined UCLA professor Len Kleinrock in an engineering lab on September 2, 1969, as bits of meaningless test data flowed silently between the two computers. By January, three other "nodes" joined the fledgling network.

The ever evolving conversation


The ever evolving conversation 03/26/2005 04:33 PM

For about three years now - I'm been hemming and hawing and giving people a hard time and (apparently) acting belligerent - about Open Identities.

About the notion of open DNS-like indices of people. And what we could do with them. You see I spent much of teh 90's desinging systems that relied uypon a theoretical notion - that noadasys is called social software and social networking. And at the core of that - is digital identity.

So as the world has caught up with my ideas, it's becoming more and more important that we DO IT RIGHT!

Now Tribe is calling that the PeopleWeb, Microsoft has a [can't talk about it but will soon] platform and Dick Hardt and his Sxip Networks is rolling out.

Along the way the Identity Commons has launched their i-Names effort and PingID continues to lead in the open source Liberty Alliance (and other enterprise protocols) space.

So Doc cautions us and says "we're barely srarted."

No shit - Sherlock.

But like I said - it's all happening. I just wish Dave Winer were part of the conversation - too.

Changing media landscape


Changing media landscape 04/09/2004 03:54 PM

Here's a perfect example of how and why personal blogs will change the media landscape of the future:

Mark Cuban has a weblog.

You see, before Mark Cuban had a weblog, he had enjoyed being a media whore, and he had to be to get the press coverage he adores. He had to create attention in the media to get his message out. He no longer has to do that but he still can because of who he is. He's already publishing corrections to stories written about him, and pointing out bad writers (in his opinion).

I'd argue that before Mark started his blog, blogs were still relatively small in the world of readership on the web, but... by starting a blog, Mark will introduce the concept to millions of sports fans in a casual manner. Basketball followers will, in droves, be able to follow Mark's own words without the filter of journalists...

Pretty damn powerful, in my opinion.

Mark Cuban may just be the guy that changes the face of blog publishing. I know I'll read his weblog, just because I like to keep up with weblogs, but I also know that my brother will read it, just because he likes to keep up with the Mavs...

How long does anyone wanna say it'll take the major sports news organizations out there to start their own blogs for their writers? How long until we see some more major business people blogging for the PR value of it alone? [via Scoble and links via A Penny For...]

Technorati and the evolving corporate
conversation


Technorati and the evolving corporate
conversation
03/14/2005 04:23 PM

Update 3/9/05 @ 9:16 AM: Dave Sifry, CEO of Technorati, has a nice writeup of the situation from Technorati's perspective. Not only are they not censoring their employees' weblogs, they are sticking by an employee (and a relatively new one at that) who did something foolish when they could have just pulled the plug on him. I especially liked the point about the speed at which the situation was handled...people these days want instant results (it's easy to see how weblogs tie into this), but things don't always work that way. Note to self: slow down sometimes, will ya?

Update 3/8/05 @ 9:11 AM: Niall has posted an apology on his site with a little more information on what happened. Here's his most recent take on Technorati's policy:

It is for this reason it is recommended that Technorati employees seek the opinion of a coworker if they are unsure of how a post might be interpreted by others, to lend a fresh pair of eyes and an experienced mind to your intended message.

Read the whole thing...I don't think Technorati's position on this is unfair at all. It's a tough issue and it's going to be messy at times (as we saw with Mark Jen's situation at Google). Companies in the past have typically been very top down with everything, including the "message", emanating from upper management. As companies have become more open, they've relied on their employees "drinking the Kool-Aid" to ensure a uniform message to the outside world. But lately, customers have been wanting something more authentic and some companies, particularly in the blogging space, are attempting to provide it. And they're probably gonna get a little bloodied for it in the short term. Is it even possible for a company to participate in a conversation in the marketplace with multiple opinions represented, some of which may even be in direct opposition with each other? How will customers react to a company disagreeing with itself in public? (Answer: probably not very well in the short term.)

Note: I modified the title of the post to something more accurate and less inflammatory given the situation as it currently stands.

Original post

On Saturday, Niall Kennedy posted some Photoshopped "propaganda posters from the 1940s to express how corporations would like to control what their employees say on a weblog, at a bar, or even to their families". At some point after that, he took the post down after Technorati (his employer) complained about it and replaced it with the following:

Technorati would rather I did not express an opinion on issues such as corporate blogging policies that are affecting the world of weblogs. This post has been overwritten and my artwork posted to Flickr is now marked as private and available only to Flickr contacts marked as friends.

Yes, I was threatened with "serious consequences" for not seeking corporate approval for a weblog posting relating to an industry issue. Tomorrow will undoubtedly bring many conversations about if employees are allowed to have their own voice and write weblog entries without passing through an executive mouthpiece first.

It should be interesting. A blogging company applying strong filters to employee weblogs about public issues that affect the community.

If my original post is not up for a while, you will know how things turned out. I love the industry and writing about weblogs, technology, and search and hope to continue to share my personal point of view in the future.

The original post is back up on Niall's site (update: looks like the post is down again) with the following disclaimer:

The commentary expressed on this weblog is my point of view and may not necessarily represent the point of view of Technorati.

On a post about this on Buzzhit, Niall explains what happened (italics mine):

Technorati executives are concerned about how employee weblogs expressing opinions may be interpreted as an official Technorati position. All Technorati employees have been asked to review weblog posts with staff members before posting. I reinstated my original post this morning and I am ready to willing to hear the community's response to my individual voice. I hope to continue to share my passion for the industry through my weblog without editorial oversight.

For a company that relies on aggregating content by scraping full posts from almost 8 million blogs, vetting their employees' personal writing seems like a curious (not to mention ironic and hypocritical) position for Technorati to take. Aside from this specific incident, I've noticed that blogs written by people who go to work in the blogging industry usually get updated less, are less about blogging than they were before as well, and are also less critical of blogging. If everyone who's really into blogging gets snatched up by blogging companies and eventually clam up, I don't see that as a positive thing for the industry as a whole.

Forget The Electric Guitar, It's Time To
Go For The Digital Guitar
02/18/2004 01:19 PM
Growing up, I always thought the coolest thing my father owned was a beautiful Les Paul Gibson electric guitar. The famous electric guitars really haven't change all that much over the years since they were introduced, but they're finally catching up to the digital age. Gibson is getting ready to start selling a digital version of the guitar. It looks and plays like a regular Les Paul, but the sound is sent out digitally, making it easier to manipulate. Instead of regular audio cables, you'll plug in an ethernet cable (no WiFi?). Of course, some traditionalists are upset, and others point out that people will need all new equipment to use such a digital guitar. Among the features of the guitar will be the ability to upgrade the guitar as the digital offering improves. My first thought on reading this, though, was how soon it would be before someone hacks their guitar. We no longer need amplifiers that can go to 11, because we'll just be able to overclock our guitars.

8) The 1882 Transit of Venus: Observations from Wellington, South Africa
http://www.saao .ac.za/~wpk/tov1882/tovwell.html

The Transit of Venus is similar to a solar eclipse, where -- from the perspective on Earth -- Venus passes in front of the Sun. This event does not happen very often. In fact, no one alive today has experienced this phenomenon, which will take place on June 8 and will be visible for most of Europe, Asia, and Africa.

First, the Armagh Planetarium created a great, expansive informational site all about the Transit of Venus (1). Users can find basic facts, observing information, histories of past transits, and much more. Next, the European Southern Observatory presents the VT-2004 project's aim to gain knowledge and encourage public interest in the event (2). Users can observe Venus's progression towards the transit with the daily images from April 17, 2004 to present news updates. Educators can discover transit-related activities and educational materials. The third site, created by NASA, discusses the details of the Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum and San Francisco's Exploratorium's live webcast of the Transit (3). The site supplies enjoyable, educational materials for students, educators, museums, scientists, and amateur astronomers. The next site, also created by NASA, provides an introduction to the Venus Transits that will take place June 2004 and 2012 (4). Visitors can find helpful figures and text about the geographic visibility of the events. The site offers an observer's handbook as well as a discussion about the predictions of the event. Next, Professor Backhaus presents a project where schools, amateur astronomers, and universities will collaborate to gather transit data and learn about observing (5). Users can discover the six parts of the project as well as learn how to participate in the worldwide endeavor. The sixth site also discusses a Venus Transit project (6). Endorsed by the Astronomical Association of Zurich, this project's goals are to process data collected by amateur astronomers by different observation methods, to act as a data exchange center, and to determine the astronomical unit. Next, the Exploratorium furnishes general information about the Transit, its history, how viewers observe it, what it looks like, and why it is an important event (7). Users can find out about the live webcast that will begin on June 7, 2004 from Athens, Greece. Educators can find student activities developed to integrate discussions into the classroom. Lastly, Willie Koorts, an employee at the South African Astronomical Observatory, recounts the observations of scientists in Africa of the last transit of Venus (8). The site contains many historical photographs along with informational diagrams and figures.[From The NSDL Scout Report for the Physical Sciences, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2003. http://scout.wisc.edu/]
