So, about Jenson's Cocoa license issue. It's not perfectly clear to
me, but there's no license on Cocoa per se other than any Cocoa
specific agreement you might assent to when agreeing to the Apple
Developer Tools license (and there or may not be anything
Cocoa-related in there, I haven't checked lately). Broadly, Apple
can't revoke your right to use or link to Cocoa in your applications
unless you violate some agreement. If the Developer Tools license
agreement says nothing about your specific use of the tools and/or
Cocoa, then you can't be held liable for doing something you didn't
know and agree to knowing was not allowed.
Of course, IANAL, so I'm chasing this up, but I do work with a lot of
intellectual property lawyers, and this is the general interpretation
I get. Note that this is entirely different from agreeing to a license
and then to have the licensor find you to be violating it, as was the
case with Apple's iTunes SDK and iCommune a while back.

Bad Commercials Trigger DVR Fast
Forwarding
04/05/2005 02:15 PMWhile the story linked here is mostly about yet another overhyped
prediction saying that TiVo-like DVR devices are
"a
threat to commercial advertising," there are two interesting
points that seem obvious -- but haven't gotten much attention in these
debates. The first is that, while everyone figures out how to fast
forward through commercials, some people apparently forget
until a
bad commercial comes on. In other words, they're fine watching a
commercial that seems interesting, amusing or relevant -- but when the
bad commercials come on, they realize they are wasting their time.
The second point is that users of DVR's, while fast forwarding through
commercials do tend to be paying close attention to what's on the TV,
looking for "heavily branded screenshots" that indicate it's time to
stop fast-forwarding. While this idea has been taken and tweaked to
lead to
TiVo'
s popup ads during commercials, it does make you wonder if
advertisers will start designing more TiVo-friendly commercials which
would be heavily branded, even for people fast forwarding through. It
might also mean that some TV shows could try a branded intro shot,
with a statement along the lines of "Stop fast forwarding NOW!" which
could also be sponsored by various brands -- though, that could annoy
non-DVR using watchers.

The Man Behind The Bill Gates Email
Forwarding Hoax
06/29/2004 02:15 PMOver the years, there have been
plenty
of
different
variants
on the chain letter urban legend saying that Bill Gates will give you
cash for forwarding on the email. A reporter at Wired Magazine began
to wonder just how these hoax emails got started. While most of the
article goes through how people get suckered into passing on chain
letters all the time (and what their reasoning is), he eventually
(towards the end of the article)
tracks down
the guy who started the very first "Bill Gates will give you money for
forwarding this email" email. The guy started it as a joke, and
never ever expected it to get as far as it did. When it first took
off at a ridiculous rate he got scared that he would get in trouble
for fraud -- but he's been mostly erased by history. Most of the
emails were quickly modified to remove his name (which brings up
completely different questions...). When asked why he didn't want to
claim "credit" for one of the longest-living, constantly mutating
hoaxes, he responds with what the author calls "one of the greatest
social critiques of our age": "I didn't really think of that. It's
just a hoax. And if I admitted to it, why would anyone believe me?"

threatening
Spamhaus with lawsuits for still having them on their blacklist.
The problem is that, just because the law now gives them the
permission to spam, it doesn't mean people aren't allowed to make
their own private efforts to block them. The laws may allow them to
send their spam, but there's nothing in these laws that require people

Spam email CD contents analyzed
01/02/2004 02:35 PMA fascinating analysis of the contents of a "millions of email
addresses" CDROM acquired via a spam-advertisement:
You can find a number of addresses you don't want to send spam to. The
spammer didn't even remove the abuse@ and postmaster@ addresses, 175
and 561 respectively. Both of them have doubles themselves. These role
accounts include respectable providers that have a widely known
anti-spam policy: the abuse desk of XS4ALL appears 5 times, the abuse
desk of Planet three times and their postmasters will receive the spam
three times each.
Role accounts not only encompass abuse desks or Network Operation
Centers, but also operational accounts like 'hostmaster' and
'postmaster', who have to deal with requests from customers and
feedback from key institutions like ARIN and RIPE or domain
registrars. Spamming those accounts has several drawbacks for a
spammer, their spam is most definitely not wanted by the recipient. It
isn't too farfetched to state that online businesses (that mostly have
to rely on e-mail for direct customer contact) might be facing
increasing difficulties coping with the loss incurred by spam, both
technically and financially.

You get all the email you can handle -

01/16/2004 11:03 AMJanka speaks of
spam, everyones' favourite subject. I got 4700
filtered
spam messages in six weeks (and a bunch that got through). On
one account. More on others, to a perhaps of 6000-7000
messages total. That's about a thousand a week, or 150/day.
There's a theory that everyone gets the amount of spam they deserve.
There's also a theory that suggests that if you stop receiving spam,
you don't exist any more. Or that if you read aloud all the spam you
receive for a year and a day, you will be granted three wishes by the
Xanax fairy. I believe that one of them must have something to do
with the size of your penis, though.
Whatever the case, it has been suggested that everyone always gets
more email than what they can handle - I've heard people complain that
"I got FOUR emails today - I'm swamped". I get perhaps
fifty legitimate emails on the average (not counting mailing lists),
and I think that's about the limit I can handle. Is there anyone out
there who thinks they are getting too few emails?

Email viruses are more annoying than
spam
06/15/2004 03:47 AMI've had my primary email address for many years, and I also get email
through a number of work-related aliases, including editors at
newsforge.com, roblimo at slashdot.org, and rmiller at osdn.com. So I
get spam. Tons of spam. And I filter it all. I filter viruses, too,
not because they can affect my Linux computer, but because they suck
up bandwidth. And my virus email traffic now exceeds my spam traffic
by a factor of at least two to one.
