I'm really disappointed in Google. This new Site Flavored Search that some folks are talking about is really kind of disappointing. Why? Simple. In order to add it on my site, I have to fill out a survey to help Google understand what sort of content my site contains. Well, that's not quite true. I'm just selecting from a list of categories that will be included as a hidden form field in the HTML used to submit the search request...

If I had the time, and the money, I'd do the deep analysis that it would take to explain to myself why it is I constantly hope to be surprised by Mr. Gates. Yet I never am. Here's BoingBoing reporting the red-baiting of Mr. Gates. It's one thing to read this sort of thing from a studio exec, or head of a record label -- surrounded as they are by the sort that surround them. But the people I've met at Microsoft are miles beyond this sort of silliness. Does Mr. Gates not even talk to them?

McD's Music Giveaway Disappointment 08/04/2004 09:40 AM

I rarely eat at McDonalds, but while on vacation last week our kids talked us into it as we drove across western Nebraska. My wife ordered a Big Mac, and unbeknownst to me, they had a Sony Connect promo going on where you get a free music download with every Big Mac. Cool!

Then I tried downloading it.

We're sorry.

We know you are interested in using the Connect music store. Unfortunately SonicStage only works on Windows 98SE and above.

We have no immediate plans to support other operating systems at this time. However, we believe this is an important user base and we hope to support it in the future.

Thank you for your interest.

(Funny; I always thought that even Mac OS 9 was a few steps "above" Windows 98.)

So the short of it is that the whole Connect system is dependent on software that needs to be downloaded first. While this really isn't that unusual — even Apple's IMS works only with iTunes — Sony's free SonicStage digital music software is Click here to comment on this entry

NYTimes Teen Mag Spikes Story On Why
Downloading Isn't Stealing

NYTimes Teen Mag Spikes Story On Why
Downloading Isn't Stealing 01/09/2004 09:50 PM
I have no idea the full details behind the story, but The New York Times Upfront, which is apparently a NY Times produced magazine for teens, had asked Aaron Swartz to write a "counterpoint" story on downloading music. Aaron wrote up a short piece entitled "Downloading Isn't Stealing" and the NY Times decided not to run it. Aaron claims that the reason they gave him was "the Times had decided not to tell kids to break the law." Aaron has decided to go ahead and publish the piece himself. While I agree with the premise (as has been discussed to death on this site), I don't necessarily agree with the specifics of his argument. Downloading might be copyright infringement, but it's clearly not theft (even the Supreme Court has said so). What's more interesting to me is why the magazine spiked the piece. I'm not sure if folks at Upfront have a different explanation for why they spiked the piece - but if it is the reason Aaron gives, then that's pretty sad, and suggests that we're not teaching kids these days to understand the complexity of issues, but prefer to brainwa sh kids with simple (but untrue) maxims. I guess this isn't a huge surprise, but you can always hope.

As I go typing up notes and such, I figured I'd write this up as well. A couple of days ago I made vague reference to the large number of continuations $WORK_PROJECT creates when running reports, and its heavy use of them in general. Since it's a pretty good example of places that're worth using continuations, I figured I'd go into some detail. Assume, for a moment, that you've got an interactive application that has a built-in menu system. The user chooses a menu option, a subroutine is called, and at some point control gets dropped back to the...
