collectible "I Love Lucy" plate anyway? Where did those
eight candlesticks and a Bible come from? Are they really selling that

cultivation? How long before they show up to seize it back? Crime wave

them.
Why? I have no idea. They were in the trunk of the car, and what do
I notice this morning? The bloody thieves did not stop at the boots,
no! They had to take the sixpack of beer from the trunk as well AND
the entire car.

Flame Emails Are Not A Crime
Flame Emails Are Not A Crime
03/22/2005 07:03 PMA few more details might be useful to understand what really happened
in this case, but a woman accused of harassment for sending "e-mails
laced with obscenities and references to Adolf Hitler and Osama bin
Laden" to a website that had pro-death penalty statements
has been cleared, after the
judge said she didn't actually break any laws. Since there were just
a few emails, they weren't seen as harassing, and since they were just
directed to the website in general (which asked for feedback), rather
than the individual who specifically received them, the judge
determined that they weren't specific threats or harassments. While
the ruling makes sense on the free speech side of things, these other
arguments don't seem to make as much sense. Just because the website
doesn't indicate who the emails are going to, they're still going to
someone. Either way, for those of you who enjoy participating
in various flame wars, it certainly seems like this ruling says that
free speech protects you (at least in this court's jurisdiction) --
assuming you don't become threatening or continue to harass the
person.

Opera Browser Performs for Windows
Mobile
09/02/2004 12:11 PMSwallowing its pride Opera has agreed to develop a smart phone browser
for Microsoft’s Windows Mobile operating system. Not to long ago
Opera announced that they would never come out with a browser for
Microsoft Windows Mobile OS, so why did they change their minds?
It goes without saying that Windows is the world’s most popular
desktop operating system, but unfortunately the same cannot be said
for the smart phone market. Ever since Microsoft introduced its own
browser back in the day (browser wars), this Norwegian company and
Microsoft have had their problems (still are). Early last year
Opera’s browser had
"compatibility issues" when users
visited Microsoft's MSN portal webpage, but since then Opera and
Microsoft have reached an agreement worth $12.75 million. The reason
for Operas change of heart is because of the demands from its
customers. Customers who feel that Opera is the best browser no
matter what platform you're using, and according to the vast majority
of analyst Opera does in fact make the best browser for mobile devices
such as smart phones.
It's good to see a company meet its customers needs, but don't expect
Opera to be making a cash cow out of this market any time soon. As
they aren't the only ones with a smart phone browser. Right now the
smart phone market is dominated by Symbian operating systems, which
accounts for 94% of all smart phones worldwide. Leaving Microsoft
with 4% of the market, and the other 2% to lesser known smart phone
operating systems. One has to wonder how long it will take until
Opera calls foul, and we’re back to bickering between Opera and
Microsoft. Until then I look forward to seeing how Opera's smart
phone browser performs against its competitors.

Quick-'n-Dirty methods to determine
which competing label is better: "Cell
Phone" or "Mobile Phone"?
Quick-'n-Dirty methods to determine
which competing label is better: "Cell
Phone" or "Mobile Phone"?
04/28/2004 11:39 AMOn the SIGIA-L mailing list, Stephanie Berger recently asked: "My
cohorts are not sure whether to use "cell phone" or "mobile phone".
Any evidence that one is better than the other, or one is used more
often than the other?"
This is a good example of the kind of labeling questions
information architects face all the time. The answer to these labeling
questions will depend on the target audience (a better label for
whom?), on business requirements (maybe the business want to promote
one term over the other) and on the context in which the label will be
used.
I'll discuss the conversation that followed here and afterwards
point to some useful tools for if you have a labeling question
yourself.
Andres Sulleiro: "Without any empirical data I will go with
my own opinion. [...] A quick survey of the phone carriers seems to
suggest that "wireless" (as in "wireless phone", "wireless customer")
is most common among US carriers, though you see some references to
"mobile" as well. T-mobile, a European company, uses "mobile" which is
more common in Europe as well as being the name of the carrier."
Method: check what other websites call it.
Jason Cho: "I think "cell" is more widespread in the US as
Andrés noted. "Call my mobile" can sound pretentious to Yankee ears.
But I would think everyone understands the term "mobile" on a business
card."
Method: personal experience.
Peter Van Dijck (and others): "Google for "cell phone" (including quotes):
6,230,000, Google for "mobile phone": 6,360,000.
Looks like a tie, assuming your audience is similar. Just pick one and
make sure your search engine knows both terms."
Christina Wodtke: "Y
ahoo for cell phone : 16,800,000, yahoo for mobile phone: 21,200,000. What does
this really tell you? you'd have to know who each engine indexes, how
much of the web, etc.. better to use a magic 8 ball. ;-)"
Method: check popularity of the terms on the web.
Peter Van Dijck: "My next step would be to find out what
people search for on your site,
or if not available, on the web (assuming that's more or less your
audience). Google
adwords can help."
Method: Find out what people (preferably your target
audience) search for.
Dave: "I like "mobile" for the reason that Christina stated
(forward compatibility); USers and non-USers will equally understand
it. Also, it is more interoperable w/ most of the vCard based
addressbook programs out there. I don't know any that are using
"cell" or "cellphone" ... I also like the clear and easy two word
approach of "mobile phone" ... I'm always wanting to say "cellphone"
where "cell phone" is really the more correct version. "cell" though
just doesn't feel like a real word b/c the "cell" doesn't fit a
meaning to me. I know what it means if I am forced to think about it,
but it really doesn't mean anything to me at all."
Method: personal experience, check what software programs
use.
Christina Wodtke: "> As can Ove
rture's keyword tool (couldn't find URL straight away).
You also might consider some adaptation of the freelisting
technique on a subset of your target. E.G., a write in survey: what
portable electronics do you own, then analyze for use of "cell phone"
and mobile phone".
Method: freelisting technique.
Eric Reiss: "Having worked closely with several
telecommunications companies, including Tellabs (US), Nortel (Canada),
ADVA (Germany), and NetTest (Denmark), this discussion is one I've
heard before. Europeans generally don't recognize the term "cell
phone." North Americans seem to accept both "cell" and "mobile." ATT
insists on promoting the term "wireless." In most instances, we've
agreed on the word "mobile" since it is understood by the widest
audience. Nortel, for instance, used "cell" almost exclusively until
the late 90s, but now leans toward "mobile." I think there is a trend
here."
Method: ask the subject matter experts.
Pabini Gabriel-Petit: "There's also Wordtracker.
[...]
In this vein, you might try just walking up to people, holding up your
cell/mobile phone, and asking them what they call it."
Method: Analyze what people search for.
Method: Find out what labels your users use.
Quick-'n-Dirty methods to determine which competing label is
better.
So, as a review, here are some of the methods used to determine
which label is better.
1. What do you think?
Method: personal experience/insights.
2. What do your users think?
Method: freelisting
technique.
Method: Find out what labels your users use: show them the item
you're trying to label and ask them what it is. (You could build an
online tool for this).
Method: Find out what people (preferably your target audience)
search for / check popularity of the terms on the web. Ove
rture's keyword tool. Google
adwords. Wordtracker. Google and Yahoo both list how often a term is
used on the web (use quotes around your terms!).
3. What do the experts think?
Method: ask the subject matter experts.
Method: check what other websites/software call it.
Gotcha's: be careful when using these techniques. You are
looking for a label that works for your audience and your business
requirements. Most of these techniques use audiences that may be very
different from yours, and most are indicative only (ie: they're not
hard science). Use your judgement.
