Claims EFF
04/14/2005 10:15 AM
A decision by a local California judge poses grave threats to First Amendment protections for journalists, said a group of major media organizations in response to the latest actions in Apple Computer Inc.'s suit involving some bloggers who let a few of Apple's product plans out of the bag.

The decision, made by Judge James Kleinberg of the Santa Clara County Superior Court, said that journalists are not protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, or by California's shield law, when they publish trade secrets. The decision stemmed from Apple's attempts to force the bloggers involved to reveal their confidential sources. In addition, Apple is also attempting to subpoena e-mail content from the bloggers' Internet service providers.

Direct and Related Links for 'Seagate Warranties Jump to Five Years'

“After compressing hard drive warranties to just a year, Seagate is reversing the trend, announcing a heady five-year warranty for its internal desktop and notebook hard drives. The extended warranty covers drives bought from authorized dealers, says Joe Cousins, Seagate’s senior director of Global Channel Marketing. Buyer demands drove the decision, he says. “Our customers are telling us that a one-year warranty isn’t satisfying their needs,” Cousins says. “We’re working to get closer to our…

Harddrive Industry increasing
warranties?
09/01/2004 03:09 PM
X-Bit Labs is reporting that major hard drive maker, Maxtor, has increased the length of time its products are under warranty. Maxtor are now offering their products under 3 year warranty, up from 1 year. Apparently, the move is being made after rival Seagate increased their warranty time from 3 to 5 years.

This action will come as a relief to many, and a surprise. It was only 2 years ago that the major industry players reduced the length of time their products were under warranty. The move was sparked after a series of high profile product faults that cost hard drive makers a lot of money.

In recent years, the hard drive market has matured with many traditional makers (IBM, Fujitsu) leaving the market. Rapid technological advancement, coupled with tough competition in the market, are cited as reasons for the exits. It's expected that other market players will follow Maxtor and Seagate in increasing the length of warranty.

Seagate Believes In Self, Ups Hard Disk
Warranties to Five Years
07/27/2004 09:21 AM

logo_www_seagate.jpg imageUnless you consider hard drives to be disposable (not a bad policy, given current failure rates), you'll probably be interested in hearing that hard drive manufacturer Seagate has upped to warranty period for all of its consumer hard drives to five years. Over the last couple of years, most major hard disk manufacturers had quietly changed their warranty period to one year (most were at a three year warranty before that), in spite of (or because of) an increasingly poor record of drive life-cycles. It has since become almost a joke to presume that any hard drive will last longer than a couple of years without failure; an interesting proposition, considering that the average computer user still keeps all of their data on a single drive.

Of course, just because a drive has a five year warranty doesn't mean the drive will last that long. You should still back up like a good Computer Scout. But in the worst case, at least you'll be able to get a replacement drive while you're tearing up over years of lost pornography.

I'm glad there are people out there that get something from reading my weblog. Thank you, I truly appreciate it!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and thanks for reading my weblog.


An Honor


An Honor 12/19/2004 03:18 PM
I just had the honor of introducing some extraordinary people to a Silicon Valley audience. They were Jim Hake, CEO and founder of Spirit of America, which I wrote about last spring. His operation is bringing help from U.S. citizens to people who need it in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it's worth your time to look at it. The stars of the lunch program, however, were Omar and Mohammed Ali, two of three brothers who have been writing the Iraq the Modelblog for over a year. It's an on-the-ground look at conditions they're seeing in a nation that's seen so much horror. They're working on a citizen journalism project for coverage of the upcoming elections. I wish them well on that and hope I can help in some small way. They have a leg up on this project because there's a new Arabic-language blogging tool, funded by Spirit of America, which will host blogs -- free of charge -- for people in the Arabic-speaking Middle East. Nice work by all.

Tomorrow night's edition of "Nightline&quo t; on ABC will be a departure from the norm: the entire program will consist of Ted Koppel reading the names and showing the pictures of more than 700 US servicemembers killed in Iraq since March 19, 2003. Here's an interview with the Nightline executive producer whose idea it was. The idea is not without controversy: Lisa de Moraes of the WaPo decries it as "a cheap, content-free stunt designed to tug at our heartstrings and bag a big number on the second night of the May ratings race." (Is this really Nielsen-bait?) And the Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns eight ABC affiliates, is refusing to air the broadcast, calling it "motivated by a political agenda designed to undermine the efforts of the United States in Iraq."
