Celebrating Radar 06/03/2004 10:47 AM
Radar technology certainly isn't new, but that doesn't mean there aren't improvements. CSMonitor has a brief overview of some new developments in radar technology, and how they'll be used in both military and civilian applications. There's one whole section on how automakers see radar as "the next big thing in safety," discussing pre-collision warning systems, blindspot watchers and adaptive cruise control.

NPR: Celebrating 20 years of the Mac


NPR: Celebrating 20 years of the Mac 01/22/2004 02:13 AM
It's been two decades since the Macintosh first burst on the scene with the famous Ridley Scott-directed advertisement during the 1984 SuperBowl. The Mac's 20th anniversary seems poised to set the tone for Apple's product plans in 2004, if some of Steve Jobs' comments during his keynote address at Macworld Conference & Expo earlier this month are any indication. Now it's the subject of a recent "Talk of the Nation" program on National Public Radio (NPR), which you can listen to online -- if you have Windows Media Player installed.

  • Pete McCloskey: Patriotism (and shame) on the Fourth of July. The word "patriot" is too precious to allow it to be used by the thundering rhetoric of politicians that patriotism requires not only "supporting the troops" but also supporting the foreign policy that puts them at risk.

    Music labels should be celebrating the
    Grokster decision


    Music labels should be celebrating the
    Grokster decision
    08/23/2004 06:36 AM
    Cory Doctorow: Jim Griffin, founder of the Pho music/tech mailing list, weighs in with an impressive and passionate email about the P2P-legalizing Grokster decision and what it means for music labels.
    Here's why you should applaud today's decision: It brings us closer to monetizing peered sharing and putting real money in the pockets of artists, labels, publishers, and other rights holders. How? Because it moves them one step closer to the correct judgment, which is that it is now impractical and inefficient to control the quantity and destiny of digits -- especially so those that carry mass media like music -- in the increasingly friction-free world of digitization. When that judgment is drawn, service licensing begins. Until that judgment is drawn, product-based control continues in vain. Publishers long ago accepted technology and license it today -- they licensed Napster -- and their revenues are climbing; sound recording companies continue to resist every new technology and refuse to license, and their revenues are falling. This decision will benefit the music business the same way getting arrested for drunk driving benefits an alcoholic, summoning forth the day of reckoning and hastening rehabilitation.

    This judgment doesn't destroy distribution -- it enables licensing. How? It reminds one of the parties in the licensing battle that one of the vines it was relying upon to to cling to the past will no longer be viable. Hyper-efficient delivery destroys distribution, meaning that the just-in-time delivery of digits will eventually destroy their distribution entirely. That is a ways off, but from what I'm hearing back-channel it is not too far off, as Apple prepares its tiny wireless iPod with no hard-drive but enhanced Wi-Max (metropolitan-wide high-bandwidth wireless) connectivity; it won't destroy downloading over night, but it will take a whack at its market share, and slowly but surely shift the market away from distribution/downloading and towards delivery/streaming.

    I tried and tried, but I just couldn't resist linking to this parody:

    "Confirming their intent to battle Google's new Blogger service, MT then announced on its TypePad site that the it would be rendering all of its users' posts in image format- meaning that any blog hosted by the TypePad service would be immune to Google's awesome searching reach, because the blog entries would actually be images, rather than text ... Taking the incredible step to block your users' access to and from Google, the de-facto clearinghouse and meetinghouse of the Web, is a bold and almost paranoid move for MovableType to make in a war that hasn't even begun (neither the new Google-powered Blogger, nor MT's new TypePad sevice, have yet to launch). It's as if MT has forgotten how precarious their strong hold is over such a fickle group of fans."

    For reference, the author was referring to this dollarshort.org post, which, I assume could have only benefitted from a "THIS IS A JOKE" disclaimer.

    The confusion over my feeble attempts at humor has spurred us to create the <$MTJoke$> tag, which from this moment on, is a required Movable Type tag to be used when indicating sarcasm, gentle ribbing, playful jests and half-truths.

    THIS IS A JOKE!

    I guess my 26 paragraph screed on Google's gourmet chef wouldn't go over well either.


    Why I'm an Acolyte of the Cult of Dean


    Why I'm an Acolyte of the Cult of Dean 10/29/2003 12:10 AM
    Normally I'll have nothing to do with any sort of organized religion, as almost every one has an aggressive branch of proselytism. It's interesting, though; I've never been averse to being spiritual, to having faith in things, etc. Howard Dean's found a way to proselytise without being rude: provide an open forum for people to congregate, and never waver from what's in his heart. I think this method works for anybody, but I've never seen anyone with the power to go for President realize this; it sounds like JFK might have been the last. Interestingly, those are some of the core principles that we're discovering at the roots of this whole "blogging" thing; you cannot waver from the guidance of your heart, you must be honest and direct. The technological implementation of blogging is where we find the community-building, though;...

    Missile Defense Is A Cult


    Missile Defense Is A Cult 12/19/2004 03:10 PM
    Up here in Canada we’re coming under political pressure from President Bush to sign up for the U.S. Missile Defense program, we’ve got all this territory up North where they’d like to situate the launchers. Rather than just saying “Get lost!”, our Mr. Martin is (wisely I think) playing it cool and fuzzifying. It’s good not to irritate the U.S. when you don’t have to, but there’s absolutely no need for Canada to assist the dwindling but influential band of cultists who believe that Missile Defense is anything but a defense-contractor boondoggle. It was bogus back when Reagan launched it and it’s still bogus. But don’t take my word for it, check out what the American Institute of Physics has to say. Mind you, it’s less dangerous now than it was in Reagan’s day, when there was a nonzero probability that “Star Wars” might have provoked some paranoid Russians who were sufficiently stupid to believe that it might work to launch a first strike while they still had a chance. (Lauren has told me of how she, like every other underfunded Physics Ph.D. in the Eighties, noticed how dressing research up as missile-defense-related was a good way to tap into the gushing SDI money pipeline). Now, it’s just an extremely profitable waste of money. We all know that religious cults are distinguished by believing in things that are obviously not true, usually combined with substantial cash flows in the direction of those running the cult. Missile defense is an obvious example.

    Rational calendar with 364 days, extra

    Rational calendar with 364 days, extra
    week celebrating Isaac Newton
    01/04/2005 08:35 AM
    Cory Doctorow: An American physicist has developed a "rational" calendar of 364 days, in which each date falls on the same day of the week every year, thus saving profs the bother of drawing up new homework schedules every September.
    His constraints meant eight months would have different lengths than they do now. March, June, September, and December would each contain 31 days, while the other months would each get 30. To keep the calendar in synchronisation with the seasons, Henry inserted an extra week - which is not part of any month - every five or six years. He named the addition "Newton Week" in honour of his favourite physicist, Isaac Newton.

    "If I had my way, everyone would get Newton Week off as a paid vacation and could spend the time doing physics, or other activities of their choice," he says.

    Despite this incentive, Henry says he has encountered resistance to his plan - mainly because people would be "stuck" with a birthday that always falls on a Wednesday, for example. Henry, who is among that group, is not moved by the argument. "You have my permission to celebrate your birthday the preceding or following Saturday," he says.
