Free copies from Canon copiers

Free copies from Canon copiers 05/29/2004 08:05 AM
On Kuro5hin, a good how-to for hacking Canon copiers at copy-shops to give you free copies -- and to get them to do fun stuff.

The copy machines you are using are configured in a certain way to use a coin operated slot, key card, or service key (such as those that Kinkos has). Through an interesting "feature" in the firmware, if the copy machine is configured to accept coins or keys, and no machine is hooked up for this, it will give copies for free. Unfortunately, this isn't as helpful as it sounds; anyone with a remedial amount of intelligence who wants to get free copies will try unplugging the instrument first and foremost. As such, it is often impossible without a service key to unplug the apparatus.

Fortunately, there is a work-around. Go into "Service Mode" (using star-2 and 8-star), and push the "Option" tab. Underneath it, push "Acc". A new menu will pop up. Hit the "Coin" button, and enter "0" on the keypad. Once you are done, hit "Enter" or "Apply" (you MUST do this after you change any field; otherwise it will reset the next button you push). Once you are done, hit reset until you are on the main screen. Voila - free copies!

HOW TO: Obtain Free Copies and Do Other
Fun Stuff to Copiers 05/29/2004 12:17 AM
This article will give insight into the inner workings of Canon copiers, and show you how to exploit a curious oversight that allows for free copies. The material in this article is restricted to Canon copiers only, as I have had the most experience in them; however, this is not as narrow as you might imagine. Generally, Canon copiers are seen second in quality only to Xerox in the market; thus, many big-time copy shops and corporations use Canon copiers. This article will not analyze the philosophical questions of doing anything it demonstrates. Obviously, everything outlined is of dubious morality; if you are not that type of person, see this as an educational article demonstrating how the inner-workings of a copier works. I take absolutely no responsibility for anything anyone does with this information. (Remember: information wants to be free [as in beer])

WirelessUnleashed Launches

WirelessUnleashed Launches 06/04/2004 09:08 AM
Earlier this week, with a little help from my friends, I launched a WirelessUnleashed, a group weblog on unlicensed wireless issues.  Between getting this online and Supernova planning, I've been so busy that I neglected to post a pointer here!

The site focuses on the benefits of reallocating low-frequency wireless capacity from broadcasting to unlicensed applications, both here and around the world.  There is a huge amount of capacity which could be used for two-way applications like broadband to the home, but which is locked up in broadcast allocations based on 1950s technology.  Freeing it up could create massive opportunities for innovation, and could dramatically lower the costs of wireless connectivity in developing countries.

My co-conspirators are Clay Shirky, Andrew Odlyzko, and David Isenberg. It's not often you find the brainpower that these three bring to the table in one place.

And so it finally begins. The Portal Wars 2.0.

I hate to take credit for coining the phrase, but it's been so obvious - for years - that this was going to happen that I didn't even mark down when I first used the phrase. That 2004 link refers to a reference I made in some blog post a couple of years before - but I haven't tracked that one down - yet.

Obviously the folks at Yahoo are gloating over this one.

If you look at the initial set of offerings, it pales to MyYahoo - but hey, they've had a nine year headstart. Each of the Google offerings are real meaty, substatntive services, while MOST of the Yahoo services seem pale and staid in comparison (and certainly dated.)

But Yahoo can't go out and start buying all these new kind of services - all over again? Or can they? Flickr and ODDpost are nice starts.

But shouldn't these next generation portals (we call them DLAs) be leveraging the islands of functionality independently evolving on their own - like de.licio.us, webjay and buzznet? Shouldn't a next generation portal provide incredible rich media interfaces (otherwise known as Ajax or Laszlo?) Shouldn't a next generation portal provide ways for ALL OF US to make money?

Well we at ourmedia.org certainly think so.

And all of our clients (who have been keeping me so busy I haven't been able to blog) think so - too!

And needless to say Yahoo, Google and Microsoft (notice I'm not even including has-been AOL) don't have a monopoly on DLAs.

What about MTV, EMI or NBC? Or IBM, BEA or Oracle?

Can't this new portal things blow up so huge that we all can connect our digital IDs to MULTIPLE of these DLAs and smile? Isn't that what it's all about - making the humans happy?

Looking back on Excite@Home - we can now just chuckle how badly they blew it. To me - the SBC-Yahoo relationship has it right. Each partner bring their ex[pertise to the table and provide VALUE to the humans.

Stuff they pay for.

And so Google finally moves into a new categry - portals - which Yahoo has owned for years.

Now we get to see what open stgandards they build on - and where the data silos, propreitary barriers and old school thinking prevail.

DLAs are based upon the notion of a web of islands, meshed together by open standards. Those standards become the causeways and bridges between the islands.

So DLA vendors don't have to go off and buy services - they just need to support the islands open APIs and schemas welcome them to the marketplace. And facilitate open conversations.

If I was going to predict - I'll say that Yahoo will lead the way with Media and Groups standards - while Google will support open standards around Events and Topics.

I just hope EVDB goes along.

AT&T Wireless Launches 3G, But Why?

AT&T Wireless Launches 3G, But Why? 07/20/2004 12:40 PM
As was entirely expected (and leaked last week) AT&T Wireless has now launched their UMTS 3G service in San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix and Detroit. The announcement also mentions that the service will be expanded to San Diego and Dallas by the end of the year. This is a bit curious, as those two cities were in the original list of four cities that AT&T Wireless named last year, but which (for no clear reason) were dropped from the list earlier this year. There still seems to be some confusion about whether or not AT&T Wireless was really required to do this as part of their deal with DoCoMo or not. Some have said that deal was no longer an issue since Cingular had agreed to buy out DoCoMo's share of AT&T Wireless. Still, it seems odd that AT&T Wireless has decided to launch this offering now. If the Cingular deal is really going to be completed this fall, why bother spending a couple months marketing the AT&T Wireless 3G service, only to have to rebrand it three months from now? Some are now saying that AT&T Wireless launching this service now might be an indication that the merger is a bit shakier than has been publicly stated. If the merger doesn't go through, they would still need to launch, since Cingular wouldn't bail them out from the DoCoMo agreement. Also, by launching earlier, they would have a head start on any 3G competition from Cingular. It still seems likely that the deal will go through, but this early announcement and unclear status of the DoCoMo clause is raising some eyebrows.

OurMedia.org Launches 03/22/2005 04:46 PM

We tend to stay away from software and service websites, but OurMedia.org looks to have a lot of promise and we'd like to point it out. The concept is simple: upload any media, under a variety of open licenses, to be archived and stored, for free, forever. That means you could host your podcasts and images and homemade whatever on their servers, as long as you're willing for the rest of the world to see them. Definitely a project to keep an eye on. If nothing else, it's a one-stop shop to load up all these media gadgets.
