Democracy in danger?

Democracy in danger? 12/06/2003 02:12 PM

"'There comes a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"
Mario Savio - Founder of the Free Speech Movement.

Danger Hiptop SDK


Danger Hiptop SDK 03/19/2003 10:26 PM
The Danger Hiptop SDK is available. Boing Boing posted an inaccur ate rant from AaronSw about it; you actually can run your own apps on your own Hiptop. But it's still a problem that only T-Mobile-approved apps can be downloaded. It's increasingly clear that the cellular industry needs to be vertically disintegrated just like wired telcos and ISPs. People also need to learn that "unlimited" plans are part of the problem since they incentivize carries to screw with their customers to limit network usage. I'd much prefer an uncensored pay-per-bit plan (or Paris Metro Pricing).

Danger sells out its customers


Danger sells out its customers 09/08/2004 07:14 AM
Cory Doctorow: The CEO of Danger, Inc., makers of the Hiptop wireless PDA-thingy, has done an embarassingly rotten interview with Engadget, in which he admits that his company is selling out its customers and locking down development for the platform. Last year, I wrote a public apology to everyone that I recommended this device to, because I'd been fooled by a presentation given by Danger at a PC Forum conference where they made a bunch of now-broken promises about the openness of the Sidekick. A year later, we have more broken promises and a device with even worse policies. My Sony-Ericsson P900 has many failings, but at least I can install my own ringtones and software without having to go through the company's politburo to get authorization.
Can customers upload their own ringtones?

No. There’s an effort by the industry to make people pay for the content on these devices...

What about allowing developers to create user-installable applications for the Sidekick?

Not user-installable. We’re a gatekeeper in that sense. they use our developer kit, they reach an agreement with us, and then through us they can have access to our user base.

tmo_sidekick_ii.jpg imageA bit of interesting chim cham from one Mr. Brahe, of One Internet Lane: Apparently, while futzing around with the new Sidekick II in San Diego, he happened to pick up on an important difference between the old model and the new: While user-submitted programs for the first Sidekick had to be approved by T-Mobile (something they were seemingly reticent to do, like, ever), Danger, creator of the Sidekick (nee Hiptop) have wrested control of user-submitted applications back, making one critical difference between versions: the new model will likely have more of what people really want: applications.

Of course, one Internet Semistar does not a source make, but if we'll follow up with Danger and see what we can find out.

Virtual Stuntmen Fear No Danger


Virtual Stuntmen Fear No Danger 01/08/2004 08:43 PM
If you've been to the movies lately, part of the MPAA's ad campaign against movie piracy has a movie stuntman talking about how all those evil movie pirates are going to put him out of a job. Considering that the movie industry is doing better than ever, he's pissed off at the wrong people. Wired Magazine is running a story about a company that makes virtual stuntmen that learn their actions through computerized evolution. The characters keep learning and trying new things, until users feel that it's done the action properly, and can then put it into a movie or a video game. The technology made its big debut in the latest Return of the King, the final chapter of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. While digital animation in movies is nothing new, usually it relies on having an actor wrapped up in motion sensors to capture their motions, and then has the computer take over. That works fine for some things, but it's tough to find anyone willing to be the motion capture subject for dangerous things like being thrown by a huge animal in a battle, or being tackled in a soccer game. Thus, those elements are usually poorly done. However, with this software, you can model a real human's actions, and keep having the system iterate until it does an action that appears a lot more real than computer animators just trying to fake it.

Thom Gunn


Thom Gunn 04/28/2004 02:29 PM
One of the finest poets in English, Thom Gunn, has died. Along with Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes, Gunn became famous as a young poet in England in the 1950s as part of "The Movement," writing f ine poems in rhyme and meter. But then he fell in love with an American soldier, Mike Kitay, and followed him to San Francisco, where he crafted one of the most daringly original voices in the 20th century, handling taboo subjects like LSD, orgiastic sex, and his 50-year relationship with Kitay with the precision of a diamond cutter. Gunn lived in my neighborhood, and was a dapper, subtle, sexy and hilariously witty man until the end. Ten years ago, when I asked him what music he was listening to he replied, "Oh, Nirvana and Social Distortion. I'm a flighty teenager that way."

Hilarious story (several weeks old, sorry -- been traveling) about an experiment in which a San Francisco Bay Area 5th grade class listens to Radiohead, then draws what they hear. Some of the resulting images look like they could pass for actual Radiohead album covers. Snip:

"We will play a career-spanning selection of Radiohead songs; the kids, equipped with Sharpies and blank sheets of paper, will simply draw whatever the music suggests to them. We don't even give them the name of the band. They don't know anything about Radiohead, the mountain of criticism, the mythology. Their thoughts and interpretations are pure, unsullied, literally unique.

They are also extremely bizarre. The kids consent to this experiment, if only because [teacher] Mitsi [Kato] tells them to. They do, however, immediately request that we play Sean Paul or 50 Cent instead. 'This is not hip-hop,' Mitsi says. 'I'm not asking if you like it.' She doesn't have to ask. They don't. "
