Just to be clear - after lauding Om

Just to be clear - after lauding Om 03/28/2005 08:45 AM

While we're on the subject of lauding Om, he seems to be a little confused over my contradictory attitude towards BrightCove.

How can I on one hand "compare them to Atom/Shockwave" and then declare them the winners?

Well remember - it's Accel Partners money - and boy do they have a lot of money to spend - so that's why I referred to a war of "attrition" - cause I just wanna see Jeremy spend Bud Colligan and Joe's Schoendorf's money - like there's no tomorrow.

Clearly Brightcave has a hell of a challenge to pull off what they're trying to do - but someone has got to do it. And Jeremy is actually a really nice guy, so..... good luck to BrightCove!

During the mixing process, glass fibers are added to the traditional stone, cement, and water. This enables light to shine through the material. Several variations of the new material are on display as part of a National Building Museum exhibit called Liquid Stone: New Architecture in Concrete. Judging from the Web site, it looks to be a stunning exhibit. Link (to AP article) Link (to Liquid Stone) (Thanks, Gabe!)

Software patents are bad for coders like
literary patents would be for writers

Software patents are bad for coders like
literary patents would be for writers 06/22/2005 01:49 AM
Cory Doctorow: Richard Stallman, creator of the Free Software movement, has written a tremendous essay for the Guardian on the risks of software patents. Richard undertakes a gedankenexperiment about "literary patents" and the impact they would have had on Victor Hugo as he sat down to pen Les Miserables.

Now consider this hypothetical literary patent: Claim 1: a communication process that represents, in the mind of a reader, the concept of a character who has been in jail for a long time and subsequently changes his name...

These patents would all cover the story of one character in a novel. They overlap, but they do not precisely duplicate each other, so they could all be valid simultaneously - all the patent holders could have sued Victor Hugo. Any one of them could have prohibited publication of Les Misérables.

You might think these ideas are so simple that no patent office would have issued them. We programmers are often amazed by the simplicity of the ideas that real software patents cover - for instance, the European Patent Office has issued a patent on the progress bar, and one on accepting payment via credit cards. These would be laughable if they were not so dangerous.

Although Informatica is the first of Sun's independent software vendors (ISVs) to do this, others are expected to follow the same pricing structure.
