How Neutral Is Your Network?

How Neutral Is Your Network? 05/28/2004 12:31 AM
It's certainly not a new argument, but the Washington Post is running a very good overview concerning the issues of network neutrality that are constantly being debated. The main issue is whether or not broadband providers should be required by law to be neutral to any services that go across their network - not blocking any particular service or boosting their own offerings. For example, if they wanted, they could slow down Vonage and then promote their own VoIP offering as having higher quality of service. The broadband providers claim, truthfully, that (1) there's no evidence that this has ever happened and (2) that they would be crazy to do so, because the negative publicity associated with doing so would be incredibly damaging, and customers would head to other providers that promise neutrality. Still, the issue could get slightly more complex as broadband providers are offering more advanced services themselves - and can try to optimize their own network for those particular services. In other words, they may not weaken competing services, but may make efforts to make their own services much stronger (which some may say is really the same thing).

Preserving the Internet's neutral core

Preserving the Internet's neutral core 12/02/2003 01:37 AM

The Internet, it's often said, treats censorship as damage and routes around it. Even before ICANN weighed in on Site Finder, ISPs and network administrators had begun to route around it. Ironically, one major network that reportedly opted out was the tightly controlled Chinese Internet backbone, prompting some observers to foresee an escalating arms race of blockages. We doubt that will happen. But recent events remind us that although the Internet was built to survive a nuclear attack, it may need some help resisting political and economic assaults on its policy-neutral core.

Concourse Communications built a Wi-Fi network in part of Detroit's airport: The network will be free through the end of the holidays and after that will cost $6.95 for daily use. Concourse went through some restructuring a few months ago, and is finally getting caught up on its contracted airports. It's had Detroit under contracts for years, and the three New York/New Jersey airports (JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark) are about to get fully built out as well instead of the partial service now available....

The fabulous ruins of Detroit

The fabulous ruins of Detroit 12/10/2003 02:16 AM
The fabulous ruins of Detroit: "After decades of blight, large swathes of Detroit are being reclaimed by nature. Roughly a third of this 139-square-mile city consists of weed-choked lots and dilapidated buildings . . . rather than fight this return to nature, urban farmers have embraced it, gradually converting 15 acres of idle land into more than 40 community gardens and microfarms — some consuming entire blocks."

Wi-Fi Draws Tenants in Detroit

Wi-Fi Draws Tenants in Detroit 01/19/2004 01:59 PM
An apartment complex in Detroit that draws executives from nearby auto makers has Wi-Fi throughout: Residents who rent furnished apartments--apparently many of them do--get the Internet access for free. The owner of the complex calls Wi-Fi a "deal clincher" for many potential residents. It seems as though the network administrator authorizes users on the network by their MAC addresses. A service provider is also targeting apartment buildings in Washington, D.C. For new or old construction, Wi-Fi offers a much easier way for building owners to offer Internet access than stringing cable throughout the building....

Urban farmers reclaim Detroit

Urban farmers reclaim Detroit 12/11/2003 09:39 AM
In Detroit, urban farmers, frustrated with buying their groceries at Party Stores now that the grocery chains have largely pulled out of the city, have begun to reclaim Detroit's vast empty spaces for grow-your-own operations, complete with livestock and tractors.

After decades of blight, large swathes of Detroit are being reclaimed by nature. Roughly a third of this 139-square-mile city consists of weed-choked lots and dilapidated buildings. Satellite images show an urban core giving way to an urban prairie.

Rather than fight this return to nature, Mr. Weertz and other urban farmers have embraced it, gradually converting 15 acres of idle land into more than 40 community gardens and microfarms — some consuming entire blocks.

Cory Doctorow: I'm delivering a midnight keynote at this year's ADHOC conference (ADHOC is also known as "MacHack") in Detroit, July 27-31. Hope to see you there!

The Advanced Developers Hands On Conference (ADHOC) is an annual event that provides a unique environment for computer programmers, engineers, students, and technology enthusiasts. At ADHOC they learn the cutting-edge technologies of the day not only from experts in classroom and conference sessions but also from each other in intense coding marathons. The conference is well rooted in the Macintosh platform - it is also called MacHack - but over the last few years the conference has grown to encompass other technologies, such as UNIX, open source, mobile devices, and more...

The showcase is an intensive, multi-day contest where you try to make something to impress everyone else at the conference. Ideally, you start it when you arrive, and you finish sometime before you go on stage to show it. Many of the coolest bits of software that came out for the Mac started in the Showcase. And, because everyone wants to see something cool, if you need the help from a programming expert who just happens to be at the show, you can ask them, and you'll learn what you need. You can learn more about the Mac OS in a very short amount of time just by trying to write a showcase entry.

NY Times Still Trying To Equate Silicon

NY Times Still Trying To Equate Silicon
Valley To Detroit 03/28/2005 01:28 PM
In May of 2003, we pointed out that the NY Times was running an article which suggested that Silico n Valley was becoming more like Detroit -- no longer driving the economy, but just a cog with cyclical ups and downs. In other words, it's just a producing industry, rather than an innovating one that increases efficiencies or changes the overall market. It appears that despite what appears to be a return of some interest in the tech world, the NY Times is still pitching almost exactly the same story and is comparing Silicon Valley to Detroit again -- though, at least they give equal space to those who disagree. This isn't to say Silicon Valley, the geographical region, isn't facing challenges -- but to compare "technology" in general to "the automotive industry" specifically, is clearly an apples and oranges comparison. The technology industry isn't just about final products, but about making the process more efficient. It doesn't always work -- and there are other factors involved, but the entire tech industry doesn't die off just because the economy had some problems.

No matter what, this figure, added today to the Vintage Photo Archive, couldn’t have been made any better. Maybe that’s why Kenner had to throw extra gimmicks like material trench coats, big honking Carbonite slabs, and even *gasp!* the proper weapon with their follow up Hans…
