You can probably guess who people like Janeane Garofalo and Ben Stein have given campaign contributions to. But how about Jennifer Garner? Reese Witherspoon? Siegfried and Roy? Karl Malone? The Newsmeat Hall Of Fame has the answers.

Giving It Away (for Fun and Profit)

Giving It Away (for Fun and Profit) 04/22/2004 01:25 PM

Andy Raskin wrote a long, detailed piece about Creative Commons for the May 2004 issue of Business 2.0 magazine entitled "Giving It Away (for Fun and Profit)." The thrust of the artice is a look at what the future landscape might look like for artists that license their work under Creative Commons. The article also talks about ways current artists are making money and what types of future economies might be built around the licensed work.

Giving away the index

Giving away the index 06/05/2005 11:35 PM

My final year project is due in two weeks, and I'm going to be running on silent for most of them. I have, however, upgraded to Tiger and playing with Spotlight has given me plenty to think about.

Giving away the index

The great benefit of having an electronic version of a book you own in dead-tree format to hand is that you can search it. Publishers generally don't hand out free digital copies because, well, they want you to buy the books, not freely distribute electronic copies.

The thing is, you don't need a digital copy of a book to be able to search it; you just need a full-text index of it (if you don't understand what this means, go and read Tim Bray's series O n Search). An index isn't enough to reconstruct the book, but it is enough to answer questions like "on what pages of Eric Meyer on CSS are float layouts discussed?"

Imagine if technical publishers made binary full-text index files of their titles available for download, for free in some kind of open standard format. Readers could query them using Spotlight or similar technologies, and gain the ability to search the titles they own all without needing to rely on centralised, artificially limited services such as Amazon's Search Inside the Book.

O'Reilly, I'm looking at you.

Full-text phishing

On a darker note, one thing about Spotlight that has given me pause is the immense ease with which it can uncover passwords saved amongst my email. Lost password reminders, new account details, invitations to sign up for services - they're all hidden away in my mail archive. Spotlight makes it trivial to dig them back up again, and offers the APIs for applications to do so as well. Combine this with a piece of spyware / some trojan horse and you've got the ultimate vector for phishing attacks.

This problem isn't limited to Macs either; Google and MSN's Desktop Search engines could be used for much the same purpose, and full-text search is bound to end up built in to Windows sooner or later. For the moment, the safest thing to do is either delete those pesky emails or move them to a folder that is excluded from Spotlight's index. Somehow I doubt many people will think to take such precautions.

And with that off my chest, it's time to get back to my dissertation.

Giving Up On The Internet?

Giving Up On The Internet? 01/03/2005 02:58 PM
For all the stories of spam, scams and spyware online, are some people deciding that enough is enough, and logging off completely? The article just has a single anecdote, of one person who has disconnected her modem, and then uses the rest of the article to highlight all of the problems that have been discussed way too many times already. There have been a few similar articles in the past as well. It's pretty clear that there isn't a widespread rush to shut off the internet, but it is definitely true that some users just don't want to bother with the constant security patching and making sure their anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-phishing, anti-hijacking and anti-spyware software offerings are all up-to-date and working. It still seems like most average users expect their ISPs to handle all of this for them, but the ISPs are afraid to take on the role, knowing that it's quite difficult to manage. There's a real market opportunity if anyone could figure out a simple, no hassle way to handle all of this -- but clearly, we're a long way off from that.

Giving Ecto a try

Giving Ecto a try 02/10/2004 02:44 AM

Just downloaded Ado's update to Kung-Log, called Ecto. Seems to have a nice and easy set up, and the posting interface appears pretty clean. Automatic spell-checking is there as well, which is a nice feature too. If only it wasn't only available for this lousy Mac hardware. I've said it before and I'll say it again: If IBM and Apple teamed up and released OSX on a Thinkpad T40, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Anyway, that's not Ecto's fault. Kudos to Adriaan on a job well done.

Geico Not Giving Up Against Google

Geico Not Giving Up Against Google 01/03/2005 02:58 PM
Last month, Geico very quickly lost their trademark infringement case against Google, even if the company tried to spin the loss and say it was a victory. Now, Geico is still claiming that they're going to fight on with this case, saying: "We continue to believe that the sale of our trademark is wrong, and we will continue to litigate this issue." The issue, of course, is that Google isn't "selling [their] trademark." They're selling positioning for anyone who is looking for Geico. As we've pointed out plenty of times, that's no different than the process of products being placed on shelves in stores. Stores sell placement all the time, and plenty of companies want to get placed near bigger brand names. The article also goes into some details about the method Geico used to show that there was trademark confusion. This was basically showing users two extreme cases, neither of which they were likely to see in a real-life Google search, and suggesting there was confusion. Part of this "confusion" was that some users in the test would click on an advertisement for other companies offering insurance quotes -- including quotes for Geico. You could easily question whether or not this created real confusion. If you're looking for a Geico quote, and someone offers you the opportunity to get quotes for Geico and others, many people would consciously choose to get the comparison quotes. It's not about confusion, but realizing they have more choice. In other words, Geico's complaint isn't about protecting trademark (which is just designed to prevent confusion over brand), but about preventing competition.

Book giving ideas 12/19/2004 03:21 PM
Not from me this time, though if I read more new books I would recommend some too you. This one comes from the New York Times: 100 Notable Books of the Year. This year the [New York Times] Book Review has selected 100 Notable Books from those reviewed since the Holiday Books issue of Dec. 7, 2003. Sadly I've only read one on the entire list, The Island at the Center of the World: The Epic Story of Dutch Manhattan, the Forgotten Colony that Shaped America, which was great. 2004 has been my most pathetic year for reading. I used to read the number of books I've read this year in a week back in the day. Hopefully 2005 will be different.

Giving the finger to an animal

Giving the finger to an animal 05/19/2004 11:58 AM
A man got too close to a jaguar at the Rio Grande Zoo and lost a finger. Before zoo employees realized what had happened, the guy fled the scene. Apparently, it's illegal to pet the predator. After the finger was found outside the jaguar's cage, police took a print from the detached digit and tracked the guy down through his zoo pass. Sadly, the frequent visitor who came to the zoo almost daily is now banned. I bet the jaguar will miss him. "They're not your friends, they're not your pets," the zoo director said. "They're wild animals." Link

Giving Thanks (a very abbreviated list)

Giving Thanks (a very abbreviated list) 01/07/2004 05:27 PM
Well, it is 4:30AM and I'm completely awake - bright and bleary-eyed This has been a tough few weeks, with both kids getting the flu (or something like it) - and they got it consecutively - first Melody, which knocked her out for a week, now Noah, who is busy snoring away in the swing because that's the only place where he gets any rest. Poor bugger, he can't even blow his own nose yet, so he's just plain uncomfortable.

This leads me to something I've been thinking a lot about lately, especially given the holiday season, and that is giving thanks. I learned a long time ago that having an attitude of gratitude is by far the most healthy thing for me, and especially in these somewhat difficult times of newborn bliss, giving thanks is a great way to remeber just how lucky and blessed I am. I was hoping to get this out for Thanksgiving, but better late than never, and as anyone who knows me well knows, time management isn't my strongest quality. :-)

So here goes. In no particular order.

• My wife and kids, just for being great.
• The rest of my family, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, everybody.  Thanks for your love and support.
• All the folks at Sputnik - Dave, Art, Kathy, Scott, Tom, Bryan, Tony, Jeff - Kudos guys.
• All the folks at Technorati - Dan, Kevin, Mike, Kriszti, Louis, Brendyn, Theresa - you folks rock.
  
• Dan Gillmor, one of the few voices in mainstream journalism who consistently does great reporting on technology, media, and civil liberties issues
  
• Steve Gillmor, tireless supporter for metadata and new journalism business models
  
• Dave Winer and the folks at Userland for setting up weblogs.com, the granddaddy of the pinger sites.
• Not to mention all the standards backed up by real money (and bandwidth) that Dave provides. Thanks, man.
• Doc Searls - a constant voice of sanity, wisdom, and good judgement. And the best knack for writing weblog/article titles I've seen.
• Jason DeFillippo and his wonderful Blogrolling service.
• Ben and Mena Trott for producing great tools
• The USA.  Yeah, even though this country isn't perfect (and right now, we're going through one of those periods of collective insanity), it is still a great country, and I'm grateful to be living here - only by accident of birth - rather than in one of dozens of incredibly repressive, war-torn, or dirt-poor countries.
• Evan, Steve, Jason, and the folks at Blogger
• Linus and the hordes of open source programmers out there adding to the collective codebase.  Thanks.
• The EFF, for its tireless work and fight for our civil rights in cyberspace
• Larry Lessig and the folks at Creative Commons, fighting to preserve the public domain and our collective heritage
• Brewster Kahle and the folks at the Internet Archive, adding a Library of Congress every few months can get wearing after a while, thanks for doing it.
• All you bloggers - who (a) help inspire and inform me, and (b) help make my current business possible.  There is a rebirth of civics going on, and you guys are making it happen (as well as posting great kitten photos)
• Yahoo, Google, the New York Times, AOL, the Mozilla Project, the Apache project, the list goes on and on. Thanks.

This just starts to scratch the surface of the list. I am so lucky to be alive and to be right here, right now.
