Music is too dangerous


Music is too dangerous 06/06/2005 12:11 AM
Today's copyright insanity comes from Bruce Schneier's blog:
A well-known company, running a massive multi-player virtual world, was considering adding a new space to their world. Due to the nature of the space, characters there would probably want to make music. So the programmers created a set of virtual musical instruments, and tools for players to create their own instruments. The plan was that players would get virtual instruments and make music, for all of the reasons people make music in the real world.

But management nixed the idea, on advice from lawyers, because of concerns about copyright infringement. The problem was that players might use their virtual instruments to play copyrighted songs, and the game company might be sued for contributory or vicarious copyright infringement, for failing to prevent this.

A pen (and a flute) is truly mightier (and scarier) than a sword... I have an idea (for free use, just remember to pay me): Why don't we just license musicians the same way we license driving? I mean, obviously the music arts are very dangerous, as one could inadvertently play music that someone else has already invented, so we should slap obligatory training and yearly license fee for anyone who practices or performs music. This money could be used to pay starving artists (the mythical creatures that inhabit the caves in Kansas). In addition, we could also license listening to the music: make everyone pay every time they hear a tune that has been copyrighted. (No wait, I think that's already being done.)

For the humour impaired, the above paragraph is sarcasm. S-A-R-C-A-S-M. Or irony. I always get them mixed up. But I reserve the right to have been right if someone seriously suggests in the future that music performances in private establishments (like homes or offices) should be stopped because someone might play copyrighted songs.

Is copyright still enabling innovation and creativity? Maybe a hundred years ago - but today... I don't know. It certainly doesn't look like it anymore.

Are reusable water bottles dangerous?


Are reusable water bottles dangerous? 04/05/2005 11:29 AM
David Pescovitz: At The F Blog, former BB guestblogger Jenn Shreve writes about her quest to find an environmentally-reasonable yet non-toxic portable (and potable) water container:
Being the green gal that I am, but not wishing to sacrifice my own health for the planet (sorry, earth, just being honest), I decided just to re-use the flimsy plastic water bottles for as long as I could. I was happy with this solution for quite some time, until I learned the horrible truth: HARMFUL BACTERIA! Yes, with each refreshing sip I was backwashing germs into my water and providing them with a warm, wet place to grow.

So I did what any bacteria-fearing primate would do and bought a nice, reusable Nalgene bottle. Boy oh boy, nothing makes you look or feel more like a tree-hugging, mushroom hunting nature girl than one of those bright, hard plastic bottles! Until it comes out that Nalgene gives you BRAIN DAMAGE! Yes, Bisphenol A, used to make Nalgene bottles and other hard plastic projects, apparently seeps into the body and can, in certain doses, mess with the function of the brain. (I’m paraphrasing/exaggerating and not everybody agrees, so look it up.) I could almost dismiss the fear as environmentalist fear mongering, but it turns out that California legislators take the threat seriously enough to consider banning it in children’s products.

Bendable Lampposts For Less Dangerous
Crashes


Bendable Lampposts For Less Dangerous
Crashes
12/17/2003 01:12 PM
Years ago, I was driving down a winding, snow covered hill, and as the road turned left and I turned the steering wheel left, the car kept going straight - right into a lamppost. I'll admit, it wasn't the most fun experience of my life - though, amazingly, I did no damage to myself or the car's engine. The car's body was a different story. But despite the front of the car wrapping itself around the lamppost, I eventually drove the now oddly shaped car home. I wasn't going particularly fast when the accident occurred (it was a winding, snow covered hill, after all), so I can only imagine what happens to cars (and drivers) who hit lampposts at much higher speeds. Over in the UK, they're trying to do something about that by putting up more flexible lampposts that will "bend" under a car when hit. They actually have two different kinds of bendable lampposts. In the city, the lamppost is designed to buckle - so that it moves, but doesn't fall. In more rural settings (where it's less likely pedestrians are around) the posts are designed to fall. Already, the posts have been involved in a few accidents - including one of a car driving at 90 miles per hour - and none have resulted in driver deaths. One other benefit is that the material used to make these posts is apparently recyclable, which I guess will be helpful when trying to decide what to do with the crumpled post after an accident.

a51-7700.jpg imageAlienware machines are overpriced and over-hyped, but you've got to admit, when they go top-end they usually do it right. Jason Cross over at ExtremeTech reviews their latest desktop replacement laptop, the Area-51m 7700, and it's pretty impressive—as it should be, since it forgoes most laptop parts and actually uses desktop chips crammed inside its not-so-portable 12-pound chassis. What you get in the end is a laptop that should rarely leave your desk, but provides most of the functionality of a full-size PC. Look, it even comes with all the fans of a regular-sized PC.

Nokia unwraps the 7700 10/29/2003 01:14 AM
Nokia announced the 7700, their first Series 90 cellphone, today in Nice. At first glance the phone, with its wedge-shaped design, reminds us of the N-Gage, but the 7700 is designed for a lot more than playing games. The 7700 has a large, 640x320 resolution, 65,000 color touchscreen which can be used for watching video and surfing the web, built-in Bluetooth, a VGA-quality digital camera, 64MB of RAM, and an integrated FM tuner. Nokia will also offer an attachment called the Nokia Streamer which will let the 7700 receive special digital TV broadcasts. Expect to hear a lot about this in the coming days and weeks.

nokia-7700.jpg imageThe Nokia 7700, the Series 90 prototype phone with the touchscreen and looks of a stormtrooper dropping has been dropped from Nokia's lineup according to the company. Although Nokia's EVP Matti Alahuhta maintains that more Series 90 phones will be released in the near future (especially next year), the 7700 was likely too out there for Nokia to put their full weight behind -- remember, this was one of the last phones bearing the vestiges of Sidetalkin'. I'm disappointed, though; for all it's probably failure in the market, the 7700 was clearly something unique, and I would have liked to have played around with it, at least. Pre-production 7700s will still be used to showcase Series 90 features, though, so don't be too surprised to see the units still popping up here and there.

Our pal Rich Brome of PhoneScoop got confirmation from Nokia that just as with the N-Gage, to make a phone call with the 7700 you have to hold the thing up to your head at an awkard sideways angle (unless you want to use a headset). This bit of misguided industrial design has quickly turned out to be one of the most widely derided features of the N-Gage, even inspiring parody sites like SideTalkin.com.

Area 51 Investigator goes underground!


Area 51 Investigator goes underground! 05/26/2004 05:57 AM

I am a very proud and loyal American. I support the principles of this country and would never do something that would put me under Uncle Sam's scrutiny. As a citizen I pay taxes to Uncle Sam so that my children and I sleep well at night knowing that the government is watching our backs and doing the things that keep us on top of the technology power curve. So I am not all sympathetic
when I hear about some knuckle head messing around with government sensors out in the desert.

Everyone has seen the movies and heard the rumors about Area 51 and I am sure their are a lot of people that would give their eye teeth to visit the site. Uncle Sam has the area restricted for a reason and that is good enough for me. When someone is out there digging up sensors in my opinion that is bordering on treason. So I have no qualms when someone messes with federal property
I would expect the FBI to find out if the individual is a curious george or a foreign spy.

We all are entitled to our opinions and are responsible for our actions. You are free to do a lot of things but people need to realize their are consequences to actions such as this. [The Register]

Bay Area Mobile Forum


Bay Area Mobile Forum 06/09/2004 12:34 PM

Russell Beattie is on a tear!  I say "Ice Tea" (some of us don't drink!)  And no carbs, just meat and cheese.

Bay Area Mobility Forum. Things are, as always, insanely busy at the moment.

So continuing the thought from Saturday, I think I've gotten some great reception to the idea of having an "un-conference"/get together about mobility. Since I'm up in Emeryville and not technically in Silicon Valley, I decided to call it the Bay Area Mobility Forum. I just registered mobilityforum.org as well.

Now, what's the best way to organize online? There's three ways I can think of - I can:

1) Start a Yahoo Group. But I think that's aging platform. Yes, once upon a time it was cool, but now mailing lists are so passé.

2) Start a wiki. I could grab JSP Wiki and have it up and running in a matter of minutes. And I think Wikis are wonderful and cool and all that, but I may be too type-A to deal with the hassle of a zillion people editing pages without control.

3) Start a blog. I think this is probably the best option. And I'm not even thinking about using *my* weblog, but the new Blogger. It supports multiple authors, comments, etc. It doesn't supprt RSS which sorta sucks, but the rest is pretty great.

I'm partial to the blog because it's easier to diseminate timely information, comments are great ways of getting feedback without getting things lost in discussion groups, and by inviting multiple authors, I can - like Mobitopia - take the load off me when I flake out and move on to other shiny things that catch my interest.

In terms of the what the goal is of the get together, I think it's a great idea to copy wholesale from the OWC.

Thus:

The Bay Area Mobility Forum mission is to cultivate and accelerate Silicon Valley's mobile and telecom sectors through leadership, technology, government relations, research, education, mentoring, investment, recruitment, networking and promotion.
And free beer. Let's not forget the free beer. And pizza too.

So in the coming days, I'll throw up a blog, invite people who are interested in helping me organize this thing to become editors, we'll figure out a good date for the inaugural meeting (we can use my current offices at WaveMarket - where there's a conference room for about 50 people and a couple board rooms for sessions), guage interest among potential attendees, figure out some topics to chat about and maybe get a few mobile-sector leaders to give a presentation, send some emails to everyone I can think of getting them to show up with their gadgets and other mobile toys...

Actually, most people will show up for the beer. I just want to see the gadgets. No one gets in the door without a cool toy. (Just kidding).

Comments welcome.
