08/03/2004 07:46 PMTim Wu has rounded up some of the dumbest things that Jack Valenti
said -- and he's found some real howlers, things that make Jack's
infamous condemnation of the VCR ("the Boston Stranger of the American
film industry") look like a walk in the park.
On the nascent cable industry, in 1974
"[Cable will become] a huge parasite in the marketplace, feeding and
fattening itself off of local television stations and copyright owners
of copyrighted material. We do not like it because we think it wrong
and unfair."
On the dangers on media concentration, 1984 Op-Ed
"Will a democratic society allow just three corporate entities to
wield unprecedented dominion over television, the most decisive voice
in the land? There are now only three national networks .... There
will never be more than three national networks."
On the public domain, 1995
"A public domain work is an orphan. No one is responsible for its
life. But everyone exploits its use, until that time certain when it
becomes soiled and haggard, barren of its previous virtues. How does
the consumer benefit from the steady decline of a film's quality?"

Whew: HTML View/Source Not in Jeopardy
08/27/2004 01:27 PMBrendan Eich offers welcome reassurances in a posting entitled
"Ev
eryone remain calm" -- an explanation of the (thankfully)
short-lived idea to remove the ability to view the HTML source code of
a Mozilla-based Web page. He says, in part:
Throughout
the explosive growth of the web, View / Source has played a crucial
role, hard to appreciate if you dumb down your user model based on
myopic hindsight and a static analysis of the majority cohort of "end
users".
Anyway, I wanted to reassure everyone, from our top Gecko hackers to
interested web developers to enthusiastic surfers, that Firefox is not
about to implode into a bare-bones, ultra-minimalist browser that
those important hackers, et al., can't use. Firefox cannot be "all
things to all people" without at least some people having to configure
an extension or two, but the default features should support the
crucial user bases.

06/02/2004 03:20 PMIntelli Innovations Inc. announced on Wednesday the release of
IntelliScanner Cordless Collector, a barcode reader that
incorporates Bluetooth technology. It's based on the company's
IntelliScanner Collector USB Barcode Reader, which features the
ability to scan barcodes found on books, DVDs, music CDs, games and
other media. If you take the Cordless Collector outside its wireless
range, it will store up to 250 barcodes that are automatically
downloaded to your Mac when you bring it within range again.

The Cordless Collector is a
Bluetooth bar code reader that stores up to 250 barcodes at a time as
you scan your own media, adding them wireless to the included MacOSX
'Collector' software that looks up the codes on the internet to help
you build and categorize detailed lists of things you already own. So
while for the less thorough among us won't find much use for it, the
Cordless Collector could be a big help to those with massive CD and
DVD collections (and who have friends that don't like to return things
they've borrowed), small retail businesses, or people that just like
to know exactly how many cans of french cut green beans they own at
any given time. (Thanks, Leo!)

Revisiting Barcode Replacement Satire
Revisiting Barcode Replacement Satire
05/11/2004 03:16 PMA little over a year ago there was a huge media frenzy over a site
that
let
people view and print out barcodes. It was really just a database
of barcodes, but the site presented a satirical commercial showing how
you could use the site to "name your own price" and re-code any
product to a price you preferred. Of course, actually doing the
re-coding would be illegal. Running a database telling people how
seems perfectly legal... unless you're lawyers at a big company like
Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart and a number of other big companies
forced
the site to shut down, and the folks have now set up the site as a
Wal-Mart spoof.
John
submitted a story about
the
whole mess one year later. It sounds like those involved didn't
expect the level of backlash they got - especially from the press who
labeled them as the thieves. Still, they've now got other plans up
their sleeves for satirical projects.
