Good things, bad things 03/06/2004 02:03 AM
Good thing: to have surge protection on your computer array.
Bad thing: kick accidentally the surge protection thingy so that the wall socket becomes loose, and have a big, catastrophic power failure.

Good thing: to be able to read your blogs while eating breakfast
Bad thing: to drop a bun in your cereal, and have milk splashed all across your laptop

Good thing: iTunes for Windows
Bad thing: Windows

Good thing: actually having sunlight in the mornings.
Bad thing: the mornings.

Jack Valenti says stupid things --
really, really stupid things

Jack Valenti says stupid things --
really, really stupid things 08/03/2004 07:46 PM
Tim Wu has rounded up some of the dumbest things that Jack Valenti said -- and he's found some real howlers, things that make Jack's infamous condemnation of the VCR ("the Boston Stranger of the American film industry") look like a walk in the park.

On the nascent cable industry, in 1974
"[Cable will become] a huge parasite in the marketplace, feeding and fattening itself off of local television stations and copyright owners of copyrighted material. We do not like it because we think it wrong and unfair."

On the dangers on media concentration, 1984 Op-Ed
"Will a democratic society allow just three corporate entities to wield unprecedented dominion over television, the most decisive voice in the land? There are now only three national networks .... There will never be more than three national networks."

On the public domain, 1995
"A public domain work is an orphan. No one is responsible for its life. But everyone exploits its use, until that time certain when it becomes soiled and haggard, barren of its previous virtues. How does the consumer benefit from the steady decline of a film's quality?"

I'm dropping Palm and going back to the Pocket PC. I miss it too much. Before I place my excellent-condition Sony Clue UX50 with a 256MB Lexar Memory Stick on eBay (and all the nifty PC software I picked up along the way), anybody care to send me a serious offer or two?...

Now don't you feel better?

I Feel So Used

When Search Engines Become Answer Engines: This is depressing, but no-doubt true.

A major change over the years has been a declining emphasis on using search to identify good sites as such. Rather than hunt for sites to explore and use in depth, users now hunt for specific answers. The Web as a whole has thus become one agglomerated resource for people who use search engines to dredge up specific pages related to specific needs, without caring which sites supply the pages.

I hit and run — I look for answer in Google, visit the page to get the answer, and never even take stock of where I am in the Web. I think Nielsen has good advice for converting users:

Embellish the answer with rich "see also" links to related content and services. Global navigation won't do the trick; answer-seekers will ignore it. Remember, they are not interested in your site. But contextual links will make the most eager users dig deeper -- and the eager ones are the people you'll want to keep as prospects for your for-pay services. See-also links can be embedded (as I've done here) or you can place them at the end of the article, where they serve as a follow-up call to action. The latter gives you the opportunity to let people know that you're actually selling something, and not just handing out free information.

A new switching vessel

A new switching vessel 09/18/2004 12:52 PM
When Apple unveiled the iPod three years ago, no one (besides possibly Steve Jobs) could have foreseen the tremendous impact it would have on music, technology and, well, life itself. It has already secured its place in history, will likely find its way into the Oxford English Dictionary and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and has seen more celebrity pockets than Justin Timberlake’s cell phone number. What used to elicit stares of wonder is now as commonplace as a Dell Dimension. So commonplace, in fact, that the Celebrity cruise I recently took offered its guests an opportunity to rent an iPod. Considering the average age of a cruise-goer, it's certainly an interesting sell. But what's even more interesting is the implications — the concept of music for rent has been slow to take off, but what about iPods for rent? Picture it: Christmas music playing, Santa posing for pictures, cash registers ringing up eager sales … and you’re above it all, listening to Steriogram with your rented iPod. Or maybe your father is. Or your mother. Or your girlfriend or boyfriend, all looking for that perfect gift in the weeks leading up to Christmas. If they tried an iPod — one that wasn’t attached to the Apple Store's dock — perhaps they’d consider buying one. The formula is relatively simply: For $25, a renter could get an iPod for four hours, get a $5 iTunes Music Store credit, and receive a 10-percent off coupon (valid for 30 days, of course). The woman on the ship that I spoke to about the iPod rentals was fairly new to the gig, so she didn't have much information. She did, however, say that the six iPods available were "proprietary," in that they only worked with the ship's computers. Whether this is true or not, I'm quite sure Apple could find a way. And to dissuade stealing, a credit card imprint would be required. Of course, if Apple is content to let other companies sell its products <A HREF="http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=32645 63">for them</A>, so be it.

Switching to an iBook 05/10/2004 04:09 PM
Brett Burney writes in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, “You’ve undoubtedly heard the interminable debate between Windows and Apple users. And while I’m not trying to take sides, I was thoroughly delighted with the iBook and Max OS X. The vast majority of computer users in today’s world work on Windows-based machines, but I see how an Apple can become your primary computer.” [May 10]

Th at's certainly how the GOP convention seemed to me, though maybe I'm just too "sensitive." But this certainly was a different convention from the GOP convention at which I was a member of the Pennsylvania delegation (indeed, the youngest member of any delegation) in 1980. That the was the Party of Jack Kemp. This is the Party of Zel Miller (!).

The surprising legacy of Y2K. In the runup to the new millennium, my uncle stocked a bunker full of supplies and ammunition and drove around with more in the trunk of his car. Crazy? Maybe, but this piece by American Public Media might get him off the hook and at the same time give the geeks who staved off armageddon a little credit. [Audio version at NPR's Marketplace]
