Black, magnetic silly putty

Black, magnetic silly putty 04/23/2004 04:26 PM
Puttyworld sells a $9 magnetic silly putty substance -- and it's goth black to boot.

Black Thinking Putty noticably responds to a magnet. Try pulling out a thin strand with your fingers and holding the magnet nearby. Or roll it into a ball and watch it roll right to the magnet, even uphill. The stronger the magnet the better the result, Neodymium Iron Boron works best. You can purchase some from our accessories category.

Sen. John Cornyn, explaining today how "activist judges" are bringing it upon themselves. The full statement is a breathtaking look at the next step in the upcoming judicial wars.

From a recent CNet article....

Google recruits eggheads with mystery billboard

A billboard placed this week in the heart of Silicon Valley posed a complex mathematical question that most commuters on Highway 101 would need Google to crack.

Turns out the search-engine heavyweight--which was behind the anonymous, stark-white ad with black lettering--only wanted to lure the math-minded who wouldn't need Google's database in the first place, and give them a job.

The recruitment ploy certainly plays on mathematician Paul Erdos' famous quote: "A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems."

In a kind of geek "Jeopardy," the billboard read:"{first 10-digit prime found in consecutive digits e}.com." The answer, 7427466391.com, would lead a puzzle-sleuth to a Web page with yet another equation to solve, with still no sign the game was hosted by Google.

Mastering that equation would lead someone to a page on Google Labs, the company's research and development department, which reads: "One thing we learned while building Google is that it's easier to find what you're looking for if it comes looking for you. What we're looking for are the best engineers in the world. And here you are.

"As you can imagine, we get many, many resumes every day, so we developed this little process to increase the signal-to-noise ratio."

Google, which is preparing for a $2.7 billion IPO later this year, is methodical about hiring people. With 1,907 employees as of March 31, the company has been rigorous about its methods since day one. One of the company's first employees, back when Google was operating out of a garage in Palo Alto, said that Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Google co-founders, had at least eight how-to books on hiring people on a nearby desk during his interview. Company recruits have also said that they have endured numerous interviews, sometimes with math or business strategy tests, before receiving an offer.

Google has also hosted programming challenges for the last couple of years as a way to spot talent. Many of its computer scientists, however, come from Stanford University's Computer Science department, according to recruits. In another clever recruiting method, Google has sponsored paid listings on its own search results pages to draw potential staff members. For example, it has sponsored ads on the keyword/name Udi Manber, who is the chief of Amazon.com's new search technology unit, A9.

Google, based in Mountain View, Calif., is advertising on a billboard near the Ralston exit leading to Santa Clara. It may introduce more billboards in future locations, according to a company source.

Silly season googlebombing

Silly season googlebombing 05/24/2004 09:01 AM
Some GOPers are googlebombing John Kerry's site with the word "waffles," and Kerry's supporters are fighting back with a Google AdWord buy for "waffles" that goes to a page on Bush's waffling.

I think that this googlebombing stuff is highly overrated. For starters, who googles the word "waffles?" What should be the canonical link for "waffles?" It's really self-reflexive: the nominal point of a googlebomb is to hijack a common search-term to misdirect searchers (i.e., the neo-Nazis who bombed the string "jew"), but in fact, a single-word query for "jew" is a pretty weird thing to punch into Google: "Hmm, I wonder why my neighbor takes every Friday night off and lights a candle. Wonder if it's cos he's Jewish? I know, I'll type 'jew' into Google and see if there's anything about Friday nights and candles in the top ten results."

In fact, the point of a googlebomb is to acheive the googlebomb and then publicize it: "Look, if you search for 'more evil than satan,' you get the Microsoft home-page, hardy-har-har." But those who argue that they've scored some kind of victory here are nuts: no one searches for "more evil than satan" -- unless someone tells them that there's a funny googlebomb on the other end.

When I was a kid, we had all these "calculator games" -- addition, subtraction and multiplication routines that would yield a string on the LCD, that, when inverted, would spell out a word. I remember one "dirty" one that spelled out "BOOBLESS" (55378008). At the time, it felt like we'd really gotten one in against The Man, by somehow convincing a pocket-calculator to kinda-sorta spit out a word we weren't allowed to say in polite company, but the joke got old fast. For starters, "BOOBLESS" isn't a (very) dirty word, and more importantly, it just didn't make the calculator dirty to get it to spit this out.

By the same token, "WAFFLES" isn't that common a naked query, and convincing Google to spit out John Kerry's homepage (or an AdWord for an anti-Bush page) isn't gonna score you any points with the people looking for info on waffles -- the most it can acheive is the (very) faintly humorous spectacle of the Kerry homepage coming up on this improbable query.

Hardy har har.

The campaign has purchased Google AdWords, sponsored links that come up beside results when certain words are searched. The short links also refer to Kerry's website, but suggest users "read about President Bush's Waffles."

"When we heard people were linking the word 'waffles' with John Kerry, our thought was, 'This is ridiculous,'" said Morra Aarons, Internet grass-roots coordinator for John Kerry for President. "But our solution was to fight fire with fire."

Thank heavens I have a two-tuner DirecTiVo and so am relatively unaffected by the ongoing silly buggers being played by NBC with the starting and ending times of its programming. While some try to explain the fact that shows start at 8.59 and end at 10.13 as something to do with ratings, the net result is that you can't reliably record a show on a non-NBC channel from 9-10 and then something on NBC starting at 10--make that 9.57 or the like. My TiVo routinely plays second PVR to my parents' first-gen single-tuner TiVo.

Can We Please Have A Day Without Hearing

Can We Please Have A Day Without Hearing
Of A Silly Software Patent? 11/04/2003 04:07 AM
That's right. It seems that a day can't go by without hearing about some case involving a silly software patent that does absolutely nothing towards encouraging innovation, but does plenty to slow down innovation. For example, Bertelsmann has lost in their attempt to have the SightSound patent lawsuit thrown out, and will now go to trial to fight the patent. What patent is it? It's a patent covering "electronic sales and distribution of digital audio or video signals." It doesn't actually specify how that's supposed to happen. Nothing was actually invented with this patent. They just took a basic concept (that digital content would eventually be distributed electronically) and patented that entire concept. Combine this with silly patents from Acacia< /a> (patent on streaming media) and E-Data< /a> (patent on downloading media) and you'll discover that the very idea of thinking about delivering online content was probably patented by someone who's just sitting on the patent waiting for some company to sue.

Daniel Root says, "NASA JPL has released stereo views of the red planet- in B&W- from one (actually two) of the on-board cameras. I combined them in a quick animation that gives somewhat of a feel for the 3d effect. (Not my own idea, but I can't find the site where I first saw it...) It's the next best thing to standing on Mars and getting a headache! You can see more stereo sets here."

(Thanks, Kevin Kelly, and Hal!)

And Nick says, "NASA's Explorer has sent back its first low res pictures, which NASA have stitched together into several panoramic pictures. They haven't (so far, as far as I can see) gone the whole way and released them as QTVRs - so I did the job for them, here."

Gillmor: Sprint's attempt to de-camera
cameraphones is silly 06/21/2004 11:43 PM
Dan Gillmor has written an insightful column about Sprint's announcement that it will soon sell camera-free Treo 600 camera phones. Sprint wants to satisfy customers fearful of internal corporate espionage, but Gillmor says resistance is futile:

I suppose it's always better to sell what the customer wants. But I have bad news for Sprint's worried customers: This won't help much, because the pace of technology means cameras will soon disappear from view, embedded in clothing and eyeglasses, not just phones.

Sprint's move highlights one more set of issues we have to confront in a world of digital information. Whether we're talking about photos or videos or documents or just about anything else that can be converted into zeroes and ones, we're entering a changed world.

BLOG SILLY EASTER EGG HUNT

THE SALON
BLOG SILLY EASTER EGG HUNT 04/09/2004 03:59 PM

Here's a silly publicity stunt I dreamed up to motivate people to check out more of the wonderful Salon Blogs. Last night I 'hid' 10 eggs, like the one at left, one in each of 10 selected Salon Bloggers' comments threads. They are numbered 1 to 10 inclusively. The posts in which they are 'hidden' are no more than one week old (April 2 or more recent). Your challenge is to be the first to find them. When you do, come back here and 'claim' the easter egg by posting, in the comments thread below, which Salon Blog you found it in, and its number. Then, when you've claimed it, it's your job to hide another egg, in another Salon Blog comment thread (remember -- no going back further than April 2 or it gets too hard). Here's how you do it: Select a Salon Blog from this list or this list, or any other Salon Blog you know of that has been updated since April 2. Go to that blog and check to ensure that there aren't already eggs hidden in the last week's posts' comments on that blog. Then select one of the comments threads from the last week and type in (or cut and paste) as your comment this line of code: Happy Easter!  <img src="http://blogs.salon.com/0002007/images/egg.gif"> xx where xx is the number ten greater than the egg you found, e.g. if you found egg 7 then the egg you hide would be 17. Theoretically, we could end up with an egg in the comments of every active Salon Blog. Remember, to claim the egg you have to be the first one to do so in the comments thread below -- if you e-mailed me about it or commented on it elsewhere it doesn't count. This is just for fun -- no prizes, except the discovery of some great, and underappreciated, blogs. The hunt ends Easter Sunday. Happy Easter, everyone.

Silly Patent Of The Day: Adobe Hit With
Lawsuit Over Hyperlink Patent 07/08/2004 05:05 PM
I think it's about time we came up with a new topic/icon for stupid patents. There are just so many of them these days. The latest is that Adobe, who is no stranger to abusing intellectual property rules, is now being hit with a patent over their PDF technology. The patent is for a method of extracting network information via hyperlinks. Reading through the patent, they're basically describing a system for clicking on a hyperlinking and having the system not only download the page in question, but all locally related pages linked from that page as well. Perhaps a useful system, but it seems like this sort of technology was around well before the patent was granted, and it's unclear what it has to do with PDF files.
