Luxpro Super Shuffle--a lawsuit waiting
to happen 03/14/2005 06:08 PM
As reported by iPodLounge and MacDailyNews, a Taiwanese company has introduced a blatant rip-off of Apple's iPod shuffle -- the Luxpro Super shuffle. The device has been seen on display at the CeBIT conference in Germany where its name, look, and marketing brazenly mimics Apple's new flash-based wonder.

Apple's lawyers are pretty busy with their other lawsuits but I'm sure they won't hesitate to add another to their dockets.

Is Dirty Data From Registrations An
Advertising Scandal Waiting To Happen?

Is Dirty Data From Registrations An
Advertising Scandal Waiting To Happen? 08/11/2004 06:13 AM
Adam Penenberg is on a roll. After pointing out that the NY Times is missi ng out on the internet due to its registration system, and then admitti ng to contributing to the dirty data in most registration databases, he's now suggesting this may be an even bigger scandal waiting to happen. There have been a bunch of stories over the past few weeks concerning newspapers admitting to over-stating their circulation numbers. The problem with this, of course, is that advertisers buy print ads based, in part, on circulation and demographics. If the circulation is wrong, they've been sold something under false terms. On the web, it's that demographics part that's the problem. With all that dirty data, will sites need to admit to advertisers that the demographic info they're selling is contaminated? While many sites insist that there isn't that much dirty data, it's increasingly looking like they're trying to play down a serious problem. Just as advertisers are asking for refunds for bogus circulation data for print newspapers, how long will it be until online advertisers ask for refunds on bogus web demographic information?

ENT is starting to happen!

ENT is starting to happen! 05/11/2004 01:43 PM
(ENT2.0 mod RSS1.0) = 0.

Time for ENT 2.0?. It's very interesting to read Danny's toughts about ENT and RSS 1.0. Maybe it's time for a new release of the ENT specs, RSS 1.0 compatible. Oh... and what about Atom?
[Paolo Valdemarin: Paolo's Weblog]

I've certainly thought about things which, with the benefit of hindsight, I would have done differently.  I was never comfortable with having the topic name as the text content of the <topic> element and I've no idea why I did it, there are other bugbears in there too.

I'd also like to give more thought as to how ENT feeds can be supported by topic map resources in real applications.  At the moment we don't publish XTM or XFML maps out of K-Collector but we could (I used to publish XFML from liveTopics but those files got big!)

Lastly I would really like to make a push for ENT support in other applications.  It seems a shame to me that, more than a year on, no other applications seem to have picked up on the benefits topic based aggregation offer to users.
[Curiouser and curiouser!]

Right on to Paolo and Matt!

Here we go!

I highly endorse using ENT as a way of us all standardizing on attaching keywords to RSS feeds.  On both sides.

The Difference Between What You Want To
Happen And What's Happening 12/29/2003 01:44 PM
We've writt en about Magnatunes and the Creative Commons a few times before, so yet another article on Magnatunes and the Creative Commons isn't all that interesting. However, this one makes a very good point which is worth repeating. The article asks, if people can get their music for free, why would they bother paying for CDs. The response, which Magnatunes founder basically tells them, is that they're asking the wrong question. People are already downloading music for free, and thus, the recording industry needs to figure out a way to adjust to that reality. The original question (what happens if people can get their music for free?) is like asking "but, what happens to buggy makers when automobiles are around?" The answer seems obvious to everyone, except those involved in the recording industry: they adapt or die. The recording industry is so focused on what they want to happen, that they've missed what's actually happening. The article also suggests that, so far, Magnatunes is doing quite well, and has the potential to be a viable longterm business - based on the idea of giving away music as a promotional good.

More And More Credit Card Transactions
Happen Online 08/06/2004 04:41 PM
Due to the growing interest in e-commerce, an increasing percentage of all credit card transactions now happen online. The article quotes someone pointing out that this is no surprise (it isn't... at all), but also saying: "It's convenient, secure and ideally suits the time-poor society we live in." You might want to question that middle part, however. Unfortunately, using credit cards online isn't always as secure as it should be, and with so many online transactions happening these days, it's about time that credit card companies start making disposa ble credit card numbers the standard online.

What happened was, tired in an airport looking for lightweight reading, I grabbed The Last Defender of Camelot, collected late works of Roger Zelazny, who was at the centre of the SciFi universe a few decades back. It has a piece called 24 Views of Mount Fuji, by Hokusai which won a Hugo in 1986 and as a story is only OK but as a narrative wrapped around a famous set of pictures it’s awfully good. On impulse, I typed “hokusai 24” into Google, to discover that there are 36 pictures in the original series, but that Tim Eagen, back in ’98, poked around the Web and ass embled the 24 images from the Zelazny story; a fine piece of curatorship and really an essential companion to reading the story. Looking at one of them, I thought: I’ve been there. There’s an amusing narrative to accompany the views...

Mount Remote Folders in Windows

Mount Remote Folders in Windows 02/10/2004 02:49 AM

How to Create and Manipulate NTFS Junction Points: This is awfully handy. It allows you to map a drive, but map it to a local folder, instead of using a drive letter. So as you traverse your directory tree, you could drop into a remote folder that appears it be local. Very Linux-ish.

You can surpass the 26 drive letter limitation by using NTFS junction points. By using junction points, you can graft a target folder onto another NTFS folder or "mount" a volume onto an NTFS junction point. Junction points are transparent to programs.
