Googlethics, Fair or Unfair? 09/17/2002 09:05 AM

Doc Searls reponds to criticism of Googles unique PageRank system, which calculates a webpage's ranking in the Google database. Responding to a comment about PageRank 'favoring' websites with heavy traffic, Doc writes, "Why is this bad? Because PageRank doesn't give a fair shake to stuff nobody points to? What user...

  • NY Times: Fox News Rejects Left-Wing Magazine Ad. While the ad will appear on Time Warner's CNN, as well as NBC Universal's MSNBC and Bravo, it will not appear on Fox News, a division of the News Corporation whose chairman and chief executive is Rupert Murdoch. "They rejected it out of hand," said Arthur Stupar, senior vice president for circulation at The Nation. "I find it ironic. They are the G.O.P. cable station, a champion of free markets, and they got spooked at the thought of running an ad that doesn't publish spin or serve the agenda of corporate conglomerates."

    Techs Get Unfair IPO Treatment From The
    Media
    08/30/2004 02:41 AM
    The biggest IPO this year, so far? It wasn't Google. Google didn't even make second place. Two other companies raised more money in their IPOs earlier this year, but didn't generate nearly the same interest -- and so some are wondering why tech companies seem to get a disproportionate amount of attention compared to non-tech company IPOs. The general conclusion "tech is sexy," may only explain half the story (though, it's clearly part of it). Another part of the attention given to tech companies, generally, is based on their potential for growth, whereas many non-tech companies that go public don't have the same meteoric growth potential (or corresponding risk).

    http://www.super-sc ience-fair-projects.com/

    Today your teacher announced that your school is going to have a science fair and students are responsible for exhibiting their projects. What do you feel? Enthusiastic? Despondent? Dreadful? Fearful? Excited?" This statement opens the Super Science Fair Projects site. Actually, whether student or parent, science fair projects, while great ways to get students actively involved in learning the scientific method and problem solving, can be tough assignments. This site may help you with one of the hardest parts: coming up with an idea. The site does a great job of walking the visitor through the steps needed to plan and implement a project, from Choosing a Topic, the Scientific Method, and writing the Project Report. There are even tips on displaying your project, rehearsing, winning over judges, and what to expect the day of the fair. This is definitely a great tool to tap into when planning a science fair project.[From The NSDL Scout Report for Math, Engineering, and Technology, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2003. http://scout.wisc.edu/]

    British consumer watchdog group Consumers' Association, publishers of Which? magazines and books, on Wednesday announced that they've written to the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) alleging that Apple may be unfairly pricing songs sold through the UK version of its iTunes Music Store. But they appear to be one of the few people who think so, if the comments of the organization's own head of policy is any indication.

    Last week we posted a story written by my colleague David Graham titled Proven: Windows is more secure than Linux. It was one of the better-read pieces on the site this week. Four days after the article was posted, David did a Google search and found more than half a dozen sites had linked to the piece -- flattering. But at least three sites posted all or a substantial portion of the piece on their own sites -- and that's a problem.

    Jason Kottke was just on G4's Attack of the Show, and thanks to my hacked TiVo, it's available as a 85Mb MPEG2 torrent.

    Jason did great for live TV, which is just about the most stressful thing in the world. He seemed relaxed, though the host seemed a little manic. I assume a producer was screaming in the host's ear to keep Jason moving, which caused the host to cut Jason off whenever he started sounding reflective. My favorite parts were the host violating the Adsense terms of service by goading people into clicking his ad links and the graphic "Blogging for Bling" in the background (because clearly, Jason's only in it for the benjamins).

    Fair use is a right AND a defense


    Fair use is a right AND a defense 09/09/2004 02:43 PM
    Cory Doctorow: The entertainment companies often tell us that "fair use isn't a right, it's a defense." It's techincally true, but legally disingenous. As my cow-orker Fred Von Lohmann noted today in a mailing list post, "I've heard Peter Jaszi say on several occasions (and more eloquently), First Amendment is like fair use, technically invoked as a defense in court, but that doesn't stop us from talking about our *right* to free speech."

    Ernest Has ‘Way More Time Than I Do Lately

    "And doing great things with the time he takes — so check out his blog entry pointing to a wide range of discussions on the DMCA exceptions that were posted today by the Librarian of Congress: Ancillary Works on DVD DMCA Exemption Denied" [Furdlog]

    Ditto and "what he said." If you've noticed a slowdown at LawMeme, it's because Ernie's posts are on his personal blog now, and he must be foregoing sleep in order to post as often as he is at The Importance Of (RSS feed here, although I'm going to take a moment to plead with Ernest to provide a feed with the full text of his posts!). He's really been on a roll the last few days.

    On a more depressing note, make sure you follow the link above to Ernie's post and read up on the four< /A> DMCA exemptions& nbsp;ruling, too, because today our government again decided that we do not have a right to "fair use" of the digital files we purchase. Not surprising given the way the entertainment industry has framed the debate and paid for legislation over the last decade, but discouraging nonetheless.

    If legislators were forced to vote today for the "right of first sale" of digital files, which is the exemption that has traditionally allowed libraries to circulate physical materials, I wonder how many of them would blindly sign it away without a second thought to libraries. If public libraries didn't already exist, would we be able to start them in this day and age? My guess is no.


    Fair and Balanced?


    Fair and Balanced? 10/28/2003 11:07 PM

    Bill Gates recently got together with Steve Mills from IBM and demonstrated some web services interoperability between our two companies' products.  It has taken awhile to get to this point, from the initial hype to the point where some of these key scenarios work without smoke and mirrors; so it is nice to see a "status report" like this.

    The first response I saw came in the form of this shrill attack piece run on CNET.  The author seems stuck in the last century, when people still bought the big lie about "write once run anywhere".  He fails to explain how "runs only on Java" is significantly different from "runs only on Windows", and completely misses the point that most enterprises have to support both types of systems (and many more) and therefore place a high priority on interop.

    The attack piece brought back fond memories of the days when Bob Metcalfe and Jai Singh (now managing editor at CNET) were together at the helm of Infoworld.  Then I saw another analysis in CNET, covering the same interop event, but surprisingly balanced, at least in comparison to the first piece.  Finally, I found yet another analysis on CNET, again covering the same event; and this one is positively glowingly accurate!

    What to make of it?  A single presentation by Bill Gates inspires three different pieces in CNET which cover the whole spectrum of opinion.  Can't complain about that.

    Tragically, politics shuts down John Poindexter's data mining program.  It seems that only Safeway is allowed to collect that sort of information about U.S. citizens.
