And Broadcast Content

The Difference Between Online Content
And Broadcast Content 02/10/2004 02:46 PM
Major League Baseball made news last year for claim ing to own all in-progress game data - saying they were going to go after websites that reported what was happening at a game in real-time. It didn't matter that the law is pretty clear that you can't copyright facts - MLB believes that just presenting the data is a "rebroadcast" of the game. That said, I guess it's no surprise to hear that they now believe that web audio and video broadcasts of games should work the same way as television broadcasts with a content provider paying a huge upfront fee for the rights to the games, and then telling them they can make it back in ad revenue and subscription fees. Of course, the various internet sites they've approached with this plan have been laughing them out the door, and pointing out that they're not television stations, and they just want to provide something useful to their users - but aren't going to lose money to do so. While MLB has been at the forefront of offering streaming video and audio, it appears they still look on this as a broadcast medium, and not the interactive medium it actually is. They're doing their best to squeeze more money out of existing fans, rather than attract new fans, which is dangerous for the future of the sport. Not only do you anger your biggest fans, you also make it less likely that you're going to pick up new fans.

A new switching vessel

A new switching vessel 09/18/2004 12:52 PM
When Apple unveiled the iPod three years ago, no one (besides possibly Steve Jobs) could have foreseen the tremendous impact it would have on music, technology and, well, life itself. It has already secured its place in history, will likely find its way into the Oxford English Dictionary and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and has seen more celebrity pockets than Justin Timberlake’s cell phone number. What used to elicit stares of wonder is now as commonplace as a Dell Dimension. So commonplace, in fact, that the Celebrity cruise I recently took offered its guests an opportunity to rent an iPod. Considering the average age of a cruise-goer, it's certainly an interesting sell. But what's even more interesting is the implications — the concept of music for rent has been slow to take off, but what about iPods for rent? Picture it: Christmas music playing, Santa posing for pictures, cash registers ringing up eager sales … and you’re above it all, listening to Steriogram with your rented iPod. Or maybe your father is. Or your mother. Or your girlfriend or boyfriend, all looking for that perfect gift in the weeks leading up to Christmas. If they tried an iPod — one that wasn’t attached to the Apple Store's dock — perhaps they’d consider buying one. The formula is relatively simply: For $25, a renter could get an iPod for four hours, get a $5 iTunes Music Store credit, and receive a 10-percent off coupon (valid for 30 days, of course). The woman on the ship that I spoke to about the iPod rentals was fairly new to the gig, so she didn't have much information. She did, however, say that the six iPods available were "proprietary," in that they only worked with the ship's computers. Whether this is true or not, I'm quite sure Apple could find a way. And to dissuade stealing, a credit card imprint would be required. Of course, if Apple is content to let other companies sell its products <A HREF="http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=32645 63">for them</A>, so be it.

Why I’m switching to Mailsmith and
SpamSieve

Why I’m switching to Mailsmith and
SpamSieve 01/07/2004 03:09 PM
I’m switching from Apple Mail to Mailsmi th and SpamSieve.

I had grown increasingly unhappy with Mail back in the Jaguar days. Performance was a big issue, but there were also user interface issues—the big one being that I couldn’t navigate the mailbox list via the keyboard.

Another issue was that the spam filter was getting less and less effective and I was dealing with spam by creating filters again. There’s no way I want to go back to that world. (I spent five years in Eudora creating spam filters by hand.)

But I decided to stick with Mail for a while, since Mail would be updated in Panther. And when Panther shipped, there were some nice improvements in the new version of Mail, but it didn’t specifically address my problems.

And then performance got worse. Even just checking mail became this long process. At first I thought it had to be the server. But then I downloaded the Mailsmith demo—and checking email was quick.

I also downloaded Eudora and gave it a shot. I had used Eudora for many years in the classic Mac OS. But I didn’t really like it in OS X: something about the look of it these days just rubbed me the wrong way. Just a personal taste thing, I’m sure.

So I used Mailsmith some more—and I found I liked it. It was faster than Mail. It’s very scriptable and customizable—for instance, I wanted to give some of the menu commands the same keystrokes that I was used to in Mail, and I could. Mark as Spam is now shift-cmd-J in my copy of Mailsmith.

Two other wonderful features of Mailsmith: it does not display HTML email and the text editing engine comes from BBEdit. But the very coolest feature may be SpamSieve.

Simply put: it catches my spam far more accurately than Mail ever did. Mail never came close. That’s the main thing SpamSieve has to do it, and it does it.

But it goes beyond that—you can see statistics on how well it’s doing. You can look at and edit the blocklist and whitelist. (Not something I’ve had to do, though.) My favorite of these extra features is the Show Corpus command. It shows you the words SpamSieve has seen, how often they’ve been in spam vs. good messages, and what the spam probability is. This fascinates me.

For instance, the word “terminate” has appeared 13 times since I started using Mailsmith. It has appeared in spam 12 of those times. Another for instance: any email sent to webmaster@ranchero.com has an 89% probability of being spam.

SpamSieve is a generous piece of software, in that it does its job very well but then gives you the extras that make it fun. And it’s written by Michael Tsai, another small, independent developer with a weblog.
