Friends finale and NBC Tivo-b0rking --
TiVo Strikes Back
05/07/2004 10:49 AMFollowing up on yesterday's post about NBC's apparent attempts to b0rk
potential TiVoers of the Friends finale, BoingBoing reader Douglas
Clark says,
I am a loyal Tivo user and Tivo did send out a
message alert to users about the Friends episode. It was more along
the lines of "if you manually extend the time of a recording, you may
miss the beginning of the friends final episode." I find that Tivo is
pretty good about catching unusual start times and other wonky tricks
the networks play. The previous comment about HUT and ratings was
right on the money...
Link to previous BoingBoing post.
Tech maven Meg Hourihan
adds, "Even weirder is that I got a message on my Tivo warning me that
the finale of Friends would have abnormal times. The message warned
that if I wasn't just using the automatic "start on time" and "end on
time" settings (i.e. I manually set the start time as 8 PM) that I
might miss some. What makes things weirder and worse is that Tivo
still didn't record the whole show! I made sure my settings were what
the message instructed, and happened to watch the show live. Tivo
kicked in to record at 8:59 PM (which is what it listed the start time
as) but stopped at 9:59! According to the time on my digital cable
box, the program didn't end until 10:03 PM. So if I hadn't watched it
live, I would have missed the last four minutes. Seems like a major
screw-up on Tivo's part, especially after sending out that
message!"

Intel and Tivo Team Up on Tivo-to-Go
(But How?)
Intel and Tivo Team Up on Tivo-to-Go
(But How?)
06/06/2005 12:09 AMReuters is running a story about Intel that is chocked full of goo
info, including information that their 'Manitoba' mobile chipset has
finally found a customer in mmO2 Pic (the Manitoba came out two years
ago, to little fanfare, let alone actual adoption by phone
manufacturers). But the big news is that Intel will be working with
Tivo to provide Tivo-to-Go functionality in future laptop chipsets,
like their popular Centrino.
What that is, though, is unclear. Is it just a branding initiative?
Tivo-to-Go already works on laptops (that's half the point), so will
it be some sort of native support that makes it easier to move the
Tivo content around? We don't know—the article is very
vague—but at least Tivo is getting some name dropping love from
a mega-vendor (considering it was unlikely they were going to get much
help from Microsoft, considering they sell a competing product to
Windows XP Media Center). (Thanks, Pat!)

On how journalists write about
webl0ggers...
On how journalists write about
webl0ggers...
06/05/2005 10:48 PMThere's an article in the Sunday Times today called Go
lden rules for blogging clever which features a few choice morsels
of salient quotage from some bloke not a million miles away from this
weblog. For this reason alone I recommend you buy the paper in
question. Possibly you should be so impressed that you should consider
sending me some naked pictures of yourselves?
Moving on though - the article itself is very strange. It seems to
wend its way between a number of different registers - starting off in
a 'weblogs and online communities are important' area and then wanders
directly into a 'who the hell do you think you are to think anyone
cares what you think' kind of space. I find this very odd, given that
the article is supposedly about giving people tips for writing a
weblog. It's been a while since I read a cookery book, but I'm pretty
sure they don't start by telling people that they're worthless and
they'll never amount to anything. That kind of motivational speech
seems more commonly left to parents. (Of course the article isn't
actually aimed at people starting a weblog at all, but at
people who want to observe it from the sidelines with a cup of tea and
a raised eyebrow while slowly dying inside.)
From having apparently smacked down the reader for their
nerve - their very presumption - that they might find
value in self-expression, the article moves on to slightly
self-satirise. Now the mockery is a bit ironic - it knows we don't
really want to be boring and that we're all able to see the
funny side of the whole thing. To support its case, it brings in a few
of the classier webloggers (Heather
Armstrong and myself) to comment. And what do we say? Well,
basically we say that all this stuff about being boring is rather
missing the point and it's not about getting a huge audience and that
self-expression is really important and stuff and that if people
derive value from their weblogs then that's good, right? Right?
Well, all I can say is that it's lucky that our brief comments
don't distract from the main thrust of the article! No hippies are
going to distract from the relentless pursuit of traffic, after all.
So we get a humourous take on giving your weblog a sexy name, a patch
on how to pander to other weblogs to get hits, a bref paragraph on
Googlebombing and a few words on the apparent incestuousness of the
culture. The article recommends writing about your sex life, getting
fired for writing a weblog and peddling extreme opinions. All of these
things will get you a book deal and only then will people want to get
you naked because they've heard your name on television.
I think the reason I find this whole article so amusing is because
it's the ultimate archetype of all news stories about weblogs. Its
every word exposes the assumptions and prejudices of journalists and -
I think more widely - the British. So you've got the censorious
attitude to people expressing themselves in public (self-expression
isn't really proper), then you've got the whole
amateur-versus-professional argument that neurotically restates
only proper journalists are worth reading. These journalists,
who - we are reminded by the rest of the article - really assume that
(i) the only reason to write is to get famous, (ii) there's
no value in community or discussion or debate and (iii) normal
people would sell their granny for dog meat to get famous. And to
cap it all off, the examples that they use are all the ones that
reveal the bankrupcy of the news media - that a culture of millions of
webloggers can only really be understood by the tabloidish stories
that make it across into the 'proper' media. The whole thing is
gloriously cock-eyed.
I'm being a bit unfair, of course. It's not nearly that clear-cut,
and there's some really interesting stuff here. I like that Simon
Jenkins expressed an anxiety about the role of the newspaper columnist
in the amateurised opinion space. I don't think he's got an enormous
amount to worry about - in fact he should be delighted, he could be a
giant in that space if he wanted - but that all depends on viewing
changes as opportunities rather than threats. Here are a few more of
my thoughts - good and bad - in the form of an unordered list:
- I love the fact that the word hippo-griff is used in this article.
For that alone, I will give you one billion dollars. You heard me. One
billion. Although I'm a bit surprised by the hyphen. Maybe I won't
give you a billion dollars after all. Damn sub-editors.
- "The absolute golden rule of blogging - it is literally made of
gold - is: Do not blog", says our journo. It's literally made
of gold? What, really? Dear God, man - misuse of 'literally' in this
way is pretty much the first thing that you get smacked in the mouth
for at journalism school. What are you doing!? Unless of course there
really is a golden rule cast in gold somewhere - on a mountain or
something. In which case, I want to see it. While we're at it - who
the hell made up this rule? I've never heard it before. It's not even
a parody of 'Don't talk about Fight Club'. I don't get it.
- If you read the article in print, then you get confronted with an
enormous picture of that bloody berk who got (as far as I can tell)
fired from Waterstones for being a bit of an idiot and not reading his
contract. I've never felt a lot of sympathy for him - even though
the relationship between a weblogger's site and their working life is
a complex one that I've been coming up against a bit recently -
because he just seemed to have been such a twit about the whole thing.
I'd recommend reading two things about this subject: Anil
Dash's expansion on his assertion that no one gets fired for
blogging and a Tech Station article called The Unbearable
Rightness of Nick Denton.
Ah, that'll do. I'm bored now. Fun article! Took me ages to respond
to. Probably better than I'm giving it credit for. Seeya!

Bloggers versus journalists
Bloggers versus journalists
07/26/2004 07:47 PM
I think the DNC could turn into a key moment in the discussion
about bloggers versus journalists. I've generally been rather low-key
on this issue, taking a position that bloggers and mass media should
work together and that bloggers and professional journalists had
different strengths and weaknesses. I am getting a sense that an
increasing number of professional journalists are beginning to feel
threatened or at least seem to be trying to belittle bloggers as a
source of news.
Jeff
Jarvis addresses this question today by quoting Tom Rosenstiel on
the question, what is a journalist?
Tom Rosenstiel - Boston Globe
- A journalist tries to tell the literal truth and get the facts
right, does not pass along rumors, engages in verifying, and makes
that verification process as transparent as possible.
- A journalist's goal is to inspire public discussion, not to help one
side win or lose. One who tries to do the latter is an activist.
- Neutrality is not a core principle of journalism. But the commitment
to facts, to public consideration, and to independence from faction,
is.
- A journalist's loyalty to his or her audience, even above employer,
is paramount.
Under this definition, a lot of what we are
calling media or press is not journalism and I DARE any professional
journalist to try to defend any big media company of sticking to the
definition above without fail.
I've been interviewing a lot of professional journalists about
"What is journalism? What makes a good journalist?" They usually talk
about vetting sources, portraying things accurately, and other things
that any blogger who is used to being ripped to shreds in comments by
their readers on their blog do as second nature. My conclusion is that
much of good journalism is just common sense, and I would even assert
that compared to journalists who don't write in their name, have
fact-check desks to do their fact-checking and editors to fix their
grammar, bloggers are much more accountable and have to take it in the
face compared to their anonymous counterparts in the mass media.
Is mass media more rigorous than blogs? Remember the "Rumsfeld bans phone cameras" story that UPI and
AFP ran and all the media picked up?
Xeni at Boing Boing called the defense department and debunked the
story and I updated my entry as a lot of the mass media were still
going to press with the story. Did they print any corrections? I
didn't see any. And this isn't an isolated incident. I've seen many
cases where blogs have fact-checked and vetted stories that the media
have just passed over.
I'm not blaming the mass media for their lack of ability be as
nibble as blogs, but characterizing bloggers as a bunch of amateurs
with no news value is really silly. Particularly annoying are the
articles that seem to be picking a fight with the blogs. Maybe as
Mahatma Ghandi said, "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you,
then they fight you, then you win." Dan,
maybe you and "We the Media" better get over hear before the real
fighting starts.
As always, I like David Weinberger's. perspective on this.
David
Weinberger
For example, after the breakfast, the bloggers were
swarmed by the media. "You know one difference between you and us,"
said a friendly guy from NPR, "We don't applaud for the speakers."
But, heck, it was Howard Dean and I'll be damned if I'm not going to
stand and clap for him.

Are telephone callers journalists?
Are telephone callers journalists?
03/14/2005 05:45 PMDespite its having been on the table for
at
least six years now, this question of whether bloggers are
journalists
won't seem to rest, and now that the courts are getting involved, we
don't
have much choice but to revisit it, as
Slashdot, among many others, has done today.
Dan
Fost's San Francisco Chronicle story provides a good summary of
the issue, as Apple Computer pursues its suit to get some bloggers to
reveal the sources of anonymous information they published. But the
article
misses the most basic distinction at work here.
A blogger is someone who uses a certain kind of tool to publish a
certain kind of Web site. The label tells us nothing about how the
tool is
used or what is published. We went through this discussion a decade
ago,
when people first started asking whether Web sites were journalism. To
understand this, just take the question, "Are bloggers journalists?"
and
reframe it in terms of previous generations of tools. "Are telephone
callers journalists?" "Are typewriter users journalists?" "Are
mimeograph
operators journalists?" Or, most simply, "Are writers journalists?"
Well, duh, sometimes! But sometimes not.
That is the only answer to the "Are bloggers journalists?" question
that
makes any sense. Bloggers sometimes engage in journalism, just as they
sometimes engage in diary-writing, art-making, essayizing and many
other
forms of communication.
This answer is inconvenient, as we face the question of whether
bloggers
should receive the same legal protection as more conventionally
defined
journalists; it doesn't provide a clearcut legal rule. But, let's face
it,
legal protections for journalists have always involved a certain
fuzziness.
Since, thankfully, the U.S. government doesn't legally charter
journalists
-- that would be difficult to square with the First Amendment --
everyone
is free to apply the label to themselves. You don't need a journalism
degree, either. (I've been a journalist for three decades and I don't
have
one.)
You can try to define journalists by applying the filter of
professionalism, by seeing whether people are actually earning a
living
through their journalistic work -- but then you rule out the vast
population of low-paid or non-paid freelance workers, and those who
are not
currently making money in their writing but hope to someday.
Apparently most of the existing shield laws use some version of the
"you are where your paycheck comes from" definition of journalist (see
Declan McCullagh over at CNET for more).
That's one good reason for thinking that they might need some
revision.
There's a good
definition of
"journalist" sitting right at the top of Jim Romenesko's
journalism
blog today (is pioneering blogger Romenesko a journalist?), where
CNN/U.S.
president Jonathan Klein says: "I define a journalist as someone who
asks
questions, finds out answers and communicates them to an audience." By
that
standard, a hefty proportion of today's bloggers qualify.
Does this vast expansion of the journalism population mean that the
courts and legislatures are going to have second thoughts about
protecting the confidentiality of journalists' sources? Perhaps -- and
maybe those shield laws need
tweaking or amendment, given the transformations underway. But any
attempt
to draw a narrow line around the journalism profession in order to
preserve
those laws is doomed to fail. There is no way to draw that line --
income
level? circulation? corporate size? forget it! -- that is not
ridiculous on
its face.
So we're left with the pathetic spectacle of beloved Apple Computer
chasing down some bloggers to find out which of its employees leaked
some
early peeks at product information. Apple may win, and the laws may
contort
themselves to exclude the vast new throngs of online journalists from
the
protected club. But is there any doubt that, in the long run, it's
Apple's
dam-building effort that's doomed? Whether protected by law or not,
the
teeming network of the blogosphere is not going to shut down, any more
than
online music file sharing could be ended by the legal campaign against
Napster. In this sense, the whole "journalists or not?" debate is an
irrelevant, backward-looking theological dispute.

FCC Approves TiVoToGo
08/05/2004 08:45 AM
Although public policy isn't really our
niche, there are occasional bits of regulation that are notable for
the future products they herald, like the approval yesterday by the
FCC of a plan by TiVo to allow sharing of recorded content to up to 10
other users via a new service called TiVoToGo. The first
implementations will probably be local network -- sending to other
TiVos and PCs around your house -- but there's certainly the
possibility that sharing over the internet could be implemented, as
well.
Unless the approval gets shut down by the numerous groups
protesting the approval -- something not as likely as I at first
thought, as at least nine other DRM-encumbered sharing schemes were
approved in addition to TiVos, creating sort of an insta-lobby -- we
probably won't pay this too much mind until products using the
TiVoToGo service are implemented. But we thought you might at least
like to know it's coming.

Remember when I said TiVoToGo was
launching soon? I was mostly right—it launched today.
If you have a Series2 TiVo you can go to the website and download the
software today to copy shows to your laptop, although the DVD burning
software that will facilitate permanent archiving is still not
available. (Thanks, Dave!)

AMD Alchemy Chip with TiVoToGo
AMD Alchemy Chip with TiVoToGo
01/04/2005 12:44 AM
AMD has announced a new chip called the 'Alchemy'
Au1200, designed to power portable video devices of all sizes. The hot
heat about the Alchemy is two-fold: first, it can resize almost any major format video into different resolutions on
the fly (upscale and downscale, it seems), meaning that devices that
use the chipset won't have to have video transcoded to its native
resolution before copying it over; also, the chip will power portable
video players that will be compatible with the just launched TiVoToGo service that
will allow you to copy recorded content from Series2 TiVos to portable
devices, such as the newly announced G
oVideo and FIC's
video players. (Thanks, Dimitri!)

03/14/2005 05:52 PMSo I'm going to start this post with a comment that someone just
posted on my site, because I think it's possibly the funniest thing
I've ever read and I'm too sheepish to start the damn thing in any
other way:
Congrats on the Bloggie! I don't suppose you grew up in
York, did you? Cos I used to babysit for a kid called Thomas Coates...
and if it was you, you may well remember me, seeing as I was the
babysitter who burnt your house down while babysitting for you... for
which I am supremely sorry.
Thanks for the comment Clare, but no, I'm afraid to say that you
never burned down my family home. I almost feel guilty that I'm the
wrong Tom after such a heartfelt apology!
Anyway, so this was all a sneaky way of talking about the Bloggies
which were announced today. I
was really surprised when plasticbag.org got nominated for
anything and I'm even more surprised that I won anything. But to win
both Best British Weblog and Lifetime Achievement... Wow... The only
real response that I can come up with is that I clearly don't deserve
it, and I'm so sorry that my site's been of such mediocre
quality over the last year. But particular thanks to everyone anyway
because it's completely bloody awesome!
Cred as ever goes to awesome and totally potent co-nominees over
both categories who mostly rock way more than I do. I reassure myself
that they're all going to win the greater karmic battle because
they're way more deserving. So first off - all of you should go read
more English weblogs and stuff cos they're great:
And woot to all the lifetimers. God we're so old...
Oh and to help dissolve the horror of my ever-expanding ego, it's
probably only appropriate that I burst my own bubble by posting this
hideous picture that Paul
Hammond took of me shortly after I heard the news. Mmm.
Classy.
