The Synergy Will Annoy You

The Synergy Will Annoy You 04/05/2005 04:19 AM

A local mobile phone carrier is partnering up with a local cinema operator here in Singapore to sell advertisement... What the hell are they thinking?

The last thing I wanted to be reminded of when going to the movies is that my enjoyment of the movie has been killed by the great service of the mobile phone carrier.

Latest Spam Designed Only To Annoy
Spamhaus 12/02/2003 09:51 AM
The spammers have been getting angry lately, because it appears that the work of many anti-spammers is actually somewhat effective. So, instead of focusing on, perhaps, figuring out a way to market legitimate products without pissing off just about everyone, the spammers are spending their time trying to piss off anti-spam organizations. Unfortunately, some of these attacks have worked, and anti-sp am sites have been shut down. The latest trick, though, isn't designed to do much other than to annoy Steve Linford of Spamhaus. A spammer is sending out spam, saying that you've successfully ordered a CD full of child-porn and will be charged $100/month for it. They say that if the order is a mistake, to contact them immediately - and, of course, the address they give is a Spamhaus email. This is one step up from the typical joe job of just sending out spam email with spoofed "from" headers of someone the spammer doesn't like. While those attacks lead the "target" to get bounces and a few angry replies, this version is specifically designed to make people fire back. It's just that they're firing back at the wrong target. Another article about this tactic says that this is a victory of sorts, because it means that the anti-spam groups like Spamhaus are clearly having an impact on the war against spam. If Spamhaus wasn't making life more difficult for spammers, why would they bother attacking them?

RealNetworks Struggles to Succeed

RealNetworks Struggles to Succeed 08/19/2004 01:53 AM
As covered here not once, not twice, but three times, RealNetworks just won't give up in its goal to do....what ever they're doing. In short, RealNetworks wants iPods to play their format and Apple doesn't. In response, RealNetworks created a hack for the iPod. The war has begun. Now, RealNetworks has their own "anti-Apple" site. But that's not the half of it, MacMinute has coverage on the latest juicy events. It turns out that RealNetworks issued a petition to ask Apple to allow their hack, but it was filled with anti-RealNetworks comments. In response, RealNetworks created a new petition that did not allow comments. Similarly, RealNetworks has turned off comments at their "anti-Apple" site (how can this site be "an invitation for your dialogue and thoughts" without comments?).

What really bothers me is that RealNetworks claims that Apple has "land-locked" the iPod to the iTMS and the AAC format, but that simply isn't true. The iPod can support AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, and Apple Lossless. Take your pick.

succeed? 12/24/2004 01:11 PM
In the late 1990s, we thought Linux needed a "killer app" that would make general PC users view Linux as a necessity the same way they first viewed Windows as a necessity due to Microsoft Office. However, a new direction in open source adoption seems to be emerging that might require a re-think and a change in our perspective.

Virtual Community Makes Open Source Encyclopedia Succeed
http://firstmonday.org/issues/issue8_12/ciffolilli/index.html

An open source encyclopedia seems to defy all logic. Anyone can contribute -- and anyone can change, deface or erase the information it contains. Yet Wikipedia is successful for several reasons. First, it's being constructed by a purpose-built virtual community, whose members share the same goals and passions. Another factor is the low cost associated with IT and virtual communities. In a way, technology has virtually eliminated transaction costs for editing and updating information. This not only stimulates development of the community and the project, it provides a full exploitation of massive collaboration economies. Another secret of Wikipedia's success is its "creative construction" of information, rather than a "creative destruction" of it. Initially, some observers expected an endless war among reliable contributions, as well as graffiti attacks that would deface and delay the development of the Web site. In reality, that hasn't happened. Every change made to every article is stored; unapproved modifications can be undone with a single click. Thus, hackers and graffiti artists waste more of their time and effort trying to litter a page than administrators require to correct it. Through this mechanism of editing and undoing meaningless changes or graffiti, an evolutionary process is fostered. Among other results, that means only the best contributions survive.
