China Drops Wireless Protectionism, for
Now 04/22/2004 01:25 PM

NY Times: China Agrees to Postpone Wireless Plan. China agreed on Wednesday to give up a plan to impose its own standard for wireless technology, essentially agreeing to join the rest of the world rather than dividing it up.

This is good news. China's push for its own standards in a variety of areas is understandable, but the wireless move was blatant protectionism. But don't imagine that China is giving up on its wish to make its own destiny, and to stop paying what amount to taxes to the Intels, Microsofts and other big U.S., Japanese and European companies in all areas of technology. That's a reasonable goal for any nation.

China Drops WAPI Requirement

China Drops WAPI Requirement 04/21/2004 09:15 PM
China shelves its proprietary Wi-Fi security plan: It's good news for all chipmakers that China has apparently rescinded its June 1 deadline for all Wi-Fi equipment to include a Chinese proprietary security standard only available for inclusion by Chinese companies. This would have exposed international intellectual property to companies most interested in competing with those firms, and would have caused a fragmented world market. Richard Shim broke this story at News.com earlier today, and has an updated version will full details now. The deal came about in Washington, DC, as a result of joint trade talks with China. Neither story mentions that Chinese actions in regard to WAPI and related issues put it in conflict with its membership in the World Trade Organization, a group they had lobbied to join for some years and to which they were accepted with the backing of the U.S....

Patriotic music for MoveOn.org

Patriotic music for MoveOn.org 07/08/2004 05:32 AM
Great interview with They Might Be Giants from Wired Magazine, about the a compilation album of patriotic songs they've put together to benefit MoveOn.org. TMBG recorded a cover of "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" for the disc!

We did an electronic version of a song from the 1840s called "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too." It was originally used during the Harrison-Van Buren presidential race, and it's really harsh, like a drinking song. It was the very first hip campaign song! Lots of the music on the compilation was recorded specifically for the album, and all of it will be new material.
