Perl: Here's a great essay on the current state of Perl and where
it's headed, including information on Perl 6 and Parrot.
Why do we use Perl every day? Because Perl scales to solve
both small and large problems. Unlike languages like C, C , and Java,
Perl allows us to write small, trivial programs quickly and easily,
without sacrificing the ability to build large applications and
systems. The skills and tools we use on large projects are also
available when we write small programs.
I'm not a Perl hacker by any means, but after finding the MTPer
lScript plugin, I've been writing little scriptlets to do all
sorts of things in Movable Type templates. The possibilities are
endless.
Perl will never die.

Baton
"Today the number of mobile phone subscribers has surpassed 35
million, and accounts for 75 percent of the total population.
In particular, almost all people in their 20s and 30s own their
mobile phones and a mobile phone is the most wanted birthday present
among elementary school students.
Not too long ago a mobile phone symbolized wealth and power, now,
in such a short time it has become a necessity....
With such advanced mobile infrastructure in place, everyday life is
rapidly going mobile.
Sookmyoung Women¡¯s University in Seoul is the case in
point and currently attracting attention from all over the world.
Under an initiative to build a mobile campus with KTF, students now
use their mobile phones with built-in student ID card to enter a
library, borrow a book and inquire about personal records.
They installed an attendance check system at a large lecture hall
whereby students can simply touch their phone to the system to record
their attendance.
And hospitals are now getting in on this too. Samsung Medical
Center now uses PDAs to identify and check patient records including
the status of a patient, treatment records, prescription, test results
anytime and anywhere. Much more convenient and reliable than the
bulky, paper records of the past....
More interestingly, now mobile phones are used as means for
well-being by providing information such as blood sugar, diet and
meditation. A mobile phone even offers services like driving away
mosquitoes, a finger vibrator for hand acupuncture and music therapy,
a guard service by sounding a siren, a location tracking service and
product information in which a camera phone is used to read a
barcode." [The Korea

Sales of MP3 Mobile Phones to Break 5 Million at Home This
Year
"This year, LG Electronics introduced Korea's first MP3 mobile
phone, the LP3000, which has sold over 300,000 units, and the company
expects that the sale of their MP3 models will easily smash through 1
million units this year. An LG official noted that of the 20 new
models to be introduced in the domestic market by the end of this
year, 80~90 percent of them will be MP3 phones. He also said MP3
functions will become a basic function of mobile phones like camera
function.
Pantech & Curitel said it expects 1 million of its 3 million
units of supply to be MP3 phones. Most of its 15 new models will be
MP3 mobile phones. The company added, 'We plan to provide MP3 function
as a basic function.' It explained that therefore, the domestic MP3
market should greatly expand." [The Digital Chosunilbo

Cory Doctorow:
Former BB Guestblogger John Shirley interviewed me, Pat Murphy, Kim
Stanley Robinson, Norman Spinrad, Bruce Sterling and Ken Wharton, as
science fiction writers, about the future. It's just showed up on
Locus's website:
Cory Doctorow doubts the efficacy of big control and again sees
information as the key: "The Stasi — the East German version of the
KGB — had detailed files on virtually every resident of East
Germany, yet somehow managed to miss the fact that the Berlin Wall was
about to come down until it was already in rubble. Tell me again how a
centralized government makes us more secure? September 11th wasn't a
failure to gather enough intelligence: it was a failure to correctly
interpret the intelligence in hand. There was too much irrelevant
data, too much noise. Gathering orders of magnitude MORE noise just
puts that needle into a much bigger haystack, while imposing high
social costs. Fingerprinting visitors to the US and jailing foreign
journalists for not understanding the impossibly baroque new visa regs
makes America less secure (by encouraging people to lie about the
purposes of their visit and by chasing honest people out of the
country), not more."
Bruce Sterling speculates that big global government might take new
shapes: "I had a brainstorm about this very problem recently. What if
there were two global systems of governance, and they weren't based on
control of the landscape? Suppose they interpenetrated and competed
everywhere, sort of like Tory and Labour, or Coke and Pepsi. I'm kind
of liking this European 'Acquis' model where there is scarcely any
visible 'governing' going on, and everything is accomplished on the
levels of invisible infrastructure, like highway regulations and
currency reform."

Investing in our Future
Investing in our Future
09/05/2004 01:16 PM(This is also my Sunday column in the San
Jose Mercury News.)
As first a presidential candidate and now the Democratic vice
presidential nominee, John Edwards has described the core of President
Bush's economic policy: valuing wealth over work.
``President Bush has a war on work -- you see it in everything he
does,'' Edwards said in a September 2003 speech. ``He wants to
eliminate every penny of tax on wealth, and shift the whole burden to
people who work for a living. So people won't pay any taxes at all
when they make money from selling stocks, when they get big dividends
every year, or when they inherit a massive estate.''
On the eve of Labor Day, the traditional kickoff to the fall
presidential race, Edwards' point is worth noting. National tax policy
-- to which both major parties adhere to a greater or lesser degree --
disfavors those of us who ``only'' work for a living.
There's another way to look at this policy, which deserves broader
discussion. Yes, it values wealth over work, but a key aim is to spur
investment.

both. Wired's Josh McHugh has written a great
article that takes an in-depth look at the ramifications of RFID,
beginning with a visit to the Extra Future Store in
Rheinberg, Germany.
When I pick up the cheese, sensors in the pad notify the
store's database that the box has been removed. I exchange the plain
for the mit Kräuter (with herbs) then, wracked with indecision, snag
the low-fat version. It turns out it's not really all that low-fat
anyhow, so I put it back down. My waffling will produce a flurry of
data back at Kraft Foods headquarters. The company, which gets this
information in return for subsidizing the smart shelf and the
microchips attached to the packages, will use the data to analyze my
behavior.
A well-written account that provides equal time to both sides of
the issue. Worth the read.

Bit Torrent question
Bit Torrent question
04/09/2004 10:30 PMBit
Torrent and the ability to download everything in one click (is this
the end of Direct TV, Tivo and the music business?!).
Used BitTorrent a little bit when it first came out and was a bit
underwhelmed. It didn’t work, there weren’t a lot of
places to find files, etc.
I decided to take another look at it when a designer friend of mine
was telling me that he has the latest version of every single piece of
design software on his Mac compliments of bit torrent (yes, I know
it’s wrong… not the point I’m trying to make, the point
is coming :-).
Part I: I installed bit torrent and immediately
noticed an amazing new trend (prob. not new to all of you) of people
posting dozens of albums in one RAR file for download. Huge file sizes
in the 500 to 4,000 meg size range. The last season of seven seasons
of Southpark, every Nirvanna album and here is another file with every
Howard Stern radio show from March in one file.
In one click you grab one really well organized, clean and deep
sets of files—scary.
Part II: A couple of month ago I got the Gateway
Connected DVD player. For $195 it connects via WiFi to my desktop and
I can hit the My Music or My Videos button on the remote control and
pull up those directories on my hard drive (in the other room).
Part III: Today I moved into my new apartment in
Santa Monica and was faced with the standard $100 month cable/dish
bill and I’m thinking “dang, I only watch less then a half
dozen TV shows and they are all here on bit torrent… maybe I
should save the $1,200 a year and just download the shows and watch
them via my Gateway Connected DVD player?”
The Point/Question: How soon before you’ll be
able-with one click-download every prime-time TV show or last
year’s top 500 CDs in one click?!
(Note: This is not a trick question, I have yet to find a file
containing that much content—however, I did find a file with last
weeks top 100 singles that someone put together in one nice
package).

06/21/2004 07:41 AMBit Torrent : An Analysis
Bit Torrent : An Analysis
12/19/2004 03:10 PMHardy news site,
The Register, recently published a
detailed analysis of the file sharing protocol
Bit
Torrent. Bit Torrent has received attention in the main stream
news after reports that it was carrying as much as 50% of all peer 2
peer (p2p) traffic, which in tern amounted to a massive 30% of all the
traffic on the internet. The paper, by Dr. Johan Pouwelse, examines
the protocol and looks especially at one of the largest bit-torrent
hubs, Suprnova.org. He examines how just 20 moderators solve the
problem of fake files, something that plagues the traditional file
sharing networks like Kazaa.
Dr Powelse notes that the major problems facing hubs like suprnova are
fakes and maintaining hub availability. The availability of files on
bit torrent is based on a centralised system; without it, the network
fails as users cannot access the trackers. Decentralising bit torrent
has already begun - Suprnova have started a project called "
Exeem" which apparently has 5,000 beta
testers trialling it, and has an ultimate aim of taking the best of
Kazaa (a decentralised network) and merging it with Bit Torrent.
Decentralisation removes the issue of poor availability at the tracker
end, yet0 it also provides more scope for fake files and a reduction
in data integrity at the user end.
The paper concludes that bit-torrent needs to evolve to create
incentives to users to seed files. Bit-torrent as a protocol is a
system that’s here to stay; it enjoys more and more usage from more
main stream content providers. Yes, there is a lot of illegitimate use
of the protocol, but unlike Kazaa, these users should not be allowed
to over shadow the usefulness to legitimate users of the bit torrent
protocol.
[Update] Since this article was published, Suprnova has
shutdown as a hub for torrents. Although this cannot be confirmed, the
shutdown is very likely related to legal action from the
Hollywood against tracker
websites; earlier in the week many other sites were taken down.
The effectiveness of the takedowns could be massive; the paper below
notes that when on the Suprnova mirrors went offline during their
monitoring period, they saw a massive reduction in the number of users
downloading files through the site.

Mark Pesce rants about
the recent shutdowns of BitTorrent supersites Suprnova.org and
TorrentBits.com.
Hey, Hollywood! Can you feel the future slipping through your fingers?
Do you understand how badly you've screwed up? You took a perfectly
serviceable situation - a nice, centralized system for the
distribution
of media, and, through your own greed and shortsightedness, are giving
birth to a system of digital distribution that you'll never, ever be
able to defeat. In your avarice and arrogance you ignored the obvious:
you should have cut a deal with SuprNova.org. In partnership you could
have found a way to manage the disruptive change that's already well
underway. Instead, you have repeated the mistakes made by the
recording
industry, chapter and verse. And thus you have spelled your own doom.
It's said that the best sequels are just like the original, only
bigger
and louder. Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for one hell of a
crash. This baby is now fully out of control.

Microsoft builds a better Bit Torrent
Microsoft builds a better Bit Torrent
06/17/2005 03:18 PMResearchers at Microsoft's computer science lab in Cambridge have
developed a peer-to-peer filesharing system that they say overcomes
the scheduling problems associated with existing distribution
protocols such as Bit Torrent.
The researchers claim download times are between 20-30 per cent
faster, using their network coding approach, than on systems that only
code at the server, and between 200 and 300 per cent faster than
distributing un-encoded information.

Defense fund for Bit Torrent indexer
Defense fund for Bit Torrent indexer

Cory Doctorow:
LokiTorrent is a BitTorrent indexing site -- like the lamented
Suprnova -- that has been threatened with legal action by the MPAA for
telling people where to download torrent files that allow them to
download video and other large data-objects. Unlike some of the other
Torrent indexers that shut down last week, LokiTorrent is mounting a
legal defense. They're trying to raise a legal defense fund of
$30,000, and they've made $11,500 in the first 12 hours.

Eyes on the Screen is an amazing Downhill Battle project that we
blogged earlier. The idea is to get people to download the
seminal documentary Eyes on the Prize, which chronicles the American
civil rights movement. It's a Black History Month perrennial, but
because of the prohibitive cost of clearing the copyrights to the
archival footage used in the series. Once the series has been
downloaded, you'd be encouraged to host a screening party for your
friends and neighbors on February 8th, and ensure that the vital
messages of this documentary don't fade away due to outmoded laws.
The Downhill Battle torrents for Eyes on the Prize have gone away, but
there is still a mirror of them available. Please consider using the
mirror to get your own copies and host a party of your own.
At 8pm on February 8th we will celebrate the struggle and triumph of
the civil rights movement with screenings of Eyes on the Prize Part 1:
Awakenings. Eyes on the Prize is the most renowned civil rights
documentary of all time; for many people, it is how they first learned
about the Civil Rights Movement (more about the film). But this film
has not been available on video or television for the past 10 years
simply because of expired copyright licenses. We cannot allow
copyright red tape to keep this film from the public any longer. So
today we are making digital versions of the film available for
download. Join us in building a new mass audience for this film:
organize or attend a screening in your city, town, school or home on
February 8th.
