Why people weren't talking about The SCO
Group at LinuxWorld
08/06/2004 08:20 PMSAN FRANCISCO -- In 2003, much of the talk at LinuxWorld Expo &
Conference was of the increasing worry about IP litigation involving
Linux and Unix, especially emanating from Lindon, Utah, via The SCO
Group. SCO had filed a $5 billion lawsuit the previous March against
IBM, contending that Big Blue had knowingly misused and distributed
SCO's Unix System V code within its AIX operating system. A lot of
not-very-nice words were used last year to describe the litigation
that SCO was initiating. This year, things were different; the name
"SCO" was seldom heard.

02/11/2004 09:36 PM Lily Cheng from Microsoft Research is talking about how people
represent themselves on line. The closer the friends, the fuzzier they
want the representations. We need to make social tools fluid enough to
account for the way people's lives change. We need easy access to
friends and people important to us. We want sponatenous interactions.
Lily's group went to a mall and asked people to draw their social

Industry About Copy Protection
Microsoft Talking To The Recording
Industry About Copy Protection
09/17/2004 02:31 PMIt looks like Cory Doctorow's talk to Microsoft about
why
copy protection is bad for everyone -- including the recording
industry, customers, and Microsoft itself -- didn't have much of an
impact. Microsoft is now
in talks with the
recording industry about how to build copy protection into their
next generation operating system to make sure you can't actually do
what you want with the music you buy. Of course, this is likely to be
an expensive waste of time that will only annoy legitimate buyers by
causing problems. The people who really want to copy music will
figure out workarounds. The large counterfeiters will already have
big workarounds, so it won't impact their business at all. The only
people impacted will be people who want to do perfectly legitimate
things with the music they bought, but find out they're blocked
because Microsoft and the recording industry doesn't trust them.

imaginative advertising, retail executions, online activities and
more, the 15-month campaign celebrates the countless possibilities for

They've just launched Bryght -
a Drupal hosting service. I hung out with these guys a bit when I was
in Vancouver and they're certainly a compelling reason for moving
there.
Vancouver is hot.
Here's Roland's post....
Our latest venture is Bryght, a hosted Drupal
service, "the Salesforce.com of community content". I am working with
Boris, Richard, Adrian and James on this
one. Yes, we are all Bryght
guys :-) !
We have taken Drupal and combined it with web hosting and email to
give you a one stop shop for your community content. No IT required,
no muss, no fuss! Check out The lights are on at
Bryght for more background on how this started. And if you know
of an individual, organization or company that could use a Bryght
site, please contact us.
Whither StreamLine you might ask?
StreamLine continues and it will continue to resell Blogware blogs because we
still believe that Blogware is the best individual blogging
platform.

09/21/2004 08:41 AMMarking the largest development effort for Microsoft(R) Money since
the personal finance software was launched 13 years ago, Microsoft
Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) today announced Microsoft Money 2005 Premium,
Deluxe, Standard and Small Business. Completely rebuilt to simplify
daily financial tasks, Money 2005 is designed to answer the growing
number of consumer requests for a simple solution that addresses the
three primary areas of financial concern: tracking account balances,
monitoring spending and paying bills. Consumers today have less time
than ever to spend managing their finances, which has contributed to
the number of American households banking online -- due to its
convenience and efficiency -- reaching nearly 33 million.(1) Money
2005 builds on this trend by helping people access all their accounts
in one place and providing automated tools that reduce or eliminate
the manual entry required by traditional personal finance software.

following exchange:
Q: Why do you always answer a question with a question?
A: Why does everybody always ask me that?
I remembered that yesterday when somebody asked me: "Who do you read
on the topic of REST?" I answered with a question of this form:
/item[contains(.,'REST')]/title
Which, translated into English, asks: "What RSS items have I read that
mention REST?". You can run that query directly
here, and you'll get back the most recent 25
matching items. Note that you can also subscribe to that query, using
the orange XML icon at the bottom of the page. So not only can I
answer the question with a question, but my answer keeps producing new
answers.

Update 10.3.9 causing Java problems
04/19/2005 11:33 AMComputer Weekly is reporting that Apple has admitted that a minor
security update to the Mac operating system has prevented users from
gaining access to certain websites or running Java-based applications.
After updating to Mac OS X 10.3.9, some Mac users have found their
Safari web browser quits from Java-enabled websites, and Java programs
on the machine may not launch or suddenly quit. The update was
released on Friday. Computer Weekly reports Apple as saying the
problem could be fixed by re-installing two earlier security patches -
Java 1.4.2 Update 2 and security Update 2005-002.

More State Laws Causing Problems For
eBay Sellers
More State Laws Causing Problems For
eBay Sellers
03/30/2005 05:20 PMIt seems you can't go a day without finding some sort of out-dated law
that isn't quite ready for an internet-enabled world. Earlier this
month, there was the story of a
new law in Ohio that would
force
eBay sellers to get an auctioneer's license (which requires a
one-year apprenticeship). However, it turns out that
many states already have very similar laws, mostly targeted at
traditional pawn and consignment shops. In some cases, these laws
require anyone selling goods on consignment to file a daily report to
police, including home info
and fingerprints of those trying to
sell items. Can you imagine going into a place like AuctionDrop and
having them fingerprint you? Some (mainly existing pawn and
consignment shops) are pushing for state officials to start enforcing
those laws -- especially against all of those new
eBay
middleman shops like AuctionDrop. However, the laws are not
really written in a way to separate out these shops from individual
sellers, which could make it tricky. The reality of the situation is
that these existing pawn and consignment shops are simply using this
as a way to get at the online competition, when they should be more
focused on why we have these laws in the first place. Of course, it
might not matter all that much, as it appears many of these eBay
middleman shops
aren't
doing particularly well -- but for the individual seller at home,
it could be a potential regulatory nightmare.

Telecommuters Causing Mistrust In The
Workplace?
Telecommuters Causing Mistrust In The
Workplace?
05/17/2004 12:08 PMA new study suggests that with the rise in telecommuters, many
employees have never even met some of their closest colleagues.
Because of that, many workers feel that they
don't have as close a relationship to those colleagues as they
should, and may not trust them as much as those they work with in
person. In other words, there are other unintended consequences of
telecommuting. Again, this seems to be the sort of thing that's
highly dependent on how the telecommuting is done. For a team that
works in a dispersed manner, it's still helpful for them to get
together on a regular basis. "Invisible" workers who are going to be
working closely with each other should be brought together
occasionally. It may not completely solve the mistrust issue, but
it's better than having them be completely faceless.

Copy Protection software Starforce
causing gamers headaches
07/12/2004 10:47 PMImagine you go out buy a Game install it play it several months and
then remove it from your computer you would expect the game to clean
up after itself. Apparently Starforce copy protection is embedded in
some games and installs itself onto Gamers hard-drives and when the
games are removed the Starforce code remains. This has led to
performance issues and being these gaming companies assume every
consumer is a criminal. They have decided invading these peoples
computers is a good for business. If I wanted to copy a game I would
just go on the net and download the cracked version. Gaming companies
need to start treating their customers like customers instead of
criminals. [Techdirt]
I recommend you read the article on Broadband
Reports they have links to clean up tools.
