The Rise of Disaster Capitalism --
...Although hotels and
industry have already started reconstructing on the coast, in Sri
Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia and India, governments have passed laws
preventing families from rebuilding their oceanfront homes. Hundreds
of thousands of people are being forcibly relocated inland, to
military style barracks in Aceh and prefab concrete boxes in Thailand.
The coast is not being rebuilt as it was--dotted with fishing villages
and beaches strewn with handmade nets. Instead, governments,
corporations and foreign donors are teaming up to rebuild it as they
would like it to be: the beaches as playgrounds for tourists, the
oceans as watery mines for corporate fishing fleets, both serviced by
privatized airports and highways built on borrowed money....
Naomi Klein on "reconstruction" money after natural
disasters--and who benefits.
(Makes Wolfowitz seem like a less
unlikely choice to head the World Bank after reading, too.) TPA membership Termination Notice
TPA membership Termination Notice
04/01/2005 03:24 PMFor years I have run a BBS (Bulletin Board Service) and have
been a member of the Trialware Professional Association. That website
at current count has allowed on my dime the download of 85,632,109
Shareware Programs. That is in a 15 year time spread from the days of
dial-up systems to modern Internet based BBS systems.
So what do I get in e-mail today from the TPA
-----------------------------------
I regret to inform you that your membership in the Trialware
Professional Association has been terminated.
This is due to your use the term "shareware" on your site. As you
should know a driving force of the TPA is to disuade people from using
this term.
Consider re-applying for TPA membership when you agree with the TPA
mission and rules.
http://www.trialware.org/mission.html
Please do not reply to this message. Due to lack of volunteers
replies cannot be returned. Questions should be asked on the TPA
newsgroups.
Regards
------------------------------------
Apparently this is some new policy in place like I really knew that
this was part of their mission statment. I probably visit there site
like once a year. It is obvious that shareware authors are getting
sensitive to the word SHAREWARE. Here is what I am going to do I will
systematically remove every TPA members files from my website and
never again will I apply to be a TPA member. Getting all upset over
the word SHAREWARE, hello. Probably the website administrator was
still wearing diapers when the term was coined.

Even Death Won't Get You Out Of Early
Termination Fees
06/04/2004 05:36 PMYou know those early termination fees that the wireless carriers like
to lock you into? An article on the
sorts of complaints people have with their mobile phone
providers includes the story of a man who died. When his wife
tried to cancel his mobile phone service, she was told she needed to
pay the "early termination" fee. Early termination, indeed. The rest
of the article includes all of the typical complaints, and points out
what everyone knows already: wireless customer service is dreadful and
the wireless carriers know it.

Will Telcos Get To Charge VoIP Providers

Will Telcos Get To Charge VoIP Providers
For Call Termination?
03/19/2005 03:17 AMWith all the hype over VoIP,
Om Malik is pointing to one thing that has the potential
to seriously damage many VoIP providers' plans. The FCC might
deny Level 3's petition to be exempt from termination
charges (though, they may add further exemptions as well). The
issue here is that the VoIP providers don't pay termination fees to
telcos for calls that end up on their network. The telcos, obviously,
would like them to pay up -- which would significantly increase the
costs for VoIP providers, in turn increasing the fees for VoIP
service, taking away much of the "benefit" from the existing sales
pitch. Of course, it's not clear the FCC would actually let it get
that far, but there's obviously room to be concerned. Once again, you
have to wonder why the VoIP providers don't
open
up their networks and build a developer community. Letting those
developers come up with useful apps would create value beyond just
"cheaper phone service."

Comment Goal Reached
Comment Goal Reached
09/07/2004 11:52 PMWe very quietly reached another goal this week. Since I started
this site almost three years ago, I've wanted to have as many comments
as I had entries. I don't know why, it just seemed like a good goal
to have.
The first iteration of the site was a custom PHP app that didn't
even have comments, so we got a late start. We flirted with the goal
for the last few weeks, but it doesn't help that we're posting like
chipmunks on crack these days. I'm also really anal-retentive about
the comments — there are no spams, "me toos," or test comments
in the database. All comments are legit.
Anyway, comments passed up entries on Sunday. As I write this, we
have 2,909 entries and 2,938 comments. Next goal: 3,000 entries,
which we'll hit by the end of the month. The ultimate goal has always
been 5,000 entries, and we're on a pace to hit that by the end of next
year.

Settlement reached in iPod battery
lawsuit
06/05/2005 11:20 PMApple is offering consumers who had battery problems with older
versions of the popular iPod digital music player $50 vouchers and
extended service warranties under a tentative settlement in a
class-action lawsuit.
According to AP, lawyers representing consumers in the state court
case said that the settlement could affect as many as 2 million people
nationwide who purchased first-, second- and third-generation iPods
through May 2004. Apple confirmed the settlement but has not
officially commented.
The settlement comes after eight consumers filed a suit in 2003,
alleging that the iPod failed to live up to claims that the
rechargeable battery would last the product's lifetime and play music
continuously for up to 10 hours. According to the terms of the
settlement, people who fill out a claim form are entitled to receive
$50 redeemable toward the purchase of any Apple products or services
except iTunes downloads or iTunes gift certificates.
Consumers will be notified of the tentative settlement in three ways:
by e-mail, by letters, and through advertisements in USA Today and
Parade Magazine in the next month, said Elizabeth C. Pritzker, an
attorney at Burlingame-based law firm Cotchett, Pitre, Simon &
McCarthy LLP, which represented two plaintiffs. Apple has agreed to
pay up to $2.8 million to the two law firms that represented
consumers.
