Apple Finalizes iDisk WebDAV Migration

Apple Finalizes iDisk WebDAV Migration 11/06/2003 12:20 PM
In an email to .Mac members, Apple has announced that on December 2, 2003, iDisks will have coverted completely to WebDAV protocol. This means that OS 9 users will no longer be able to use the Finder to connect but will instead need to use a third party WebDAV client. OS X has WebDAV capabilities built in, so OS X users should notice no change. On December 2, affected users (those using OS 9) will be able to download files from the iDisk but will not be able to upload. On Janary 20, 2004, however, the only protocol that will access the iDisk will be WebDAV and all OS 9 access will need to be with a WebDAV client. Goliath is a free, open-source WebDAV client, and is recommended by Apple for those who are still running OS 9.

Angie McKaig again inspires me with "please stop making my eyes hurt".

Angie underscores the importance of readers to publishers that support their work with advertising, and she also makes clear the importance of good advertising to readers. Advertising and editorial have to work together on the web more than in any other medium, in my opinion, because there are so many alternatives out there for web users.

Great report Angie.

Will Advertisers Sue Google To See Your
Email? 06/14/2004 02:50 PM
The misplaced hype over Gmail's potential legal problems for putting up contextual ads in your email seems to have thankfully died down. However, Mark Rasch, over at Security Focus is trying to dig it back up again with a somewhat more thoughtful piece about whether or not Gmail breaks existing laws by scanning emails without the permission of the sender as well. It seems like a stretch - and about the best that can be said is that some of the wording of older laws may need to be adjusted to take into account the concept of email. Otherwise, it doesn't seem like there's a real problem here. However, as an aside, he does bring up an interesting (if unlikely) possibility. What if an advertiser feels that Google is lying about inserting their ads, or believes that Google is inserting competitor's ads instead? Could they then subpoena your emails in order to prove the point? This would, obviously, violate your privacy through no action of your own doing. However, this seems like a huge stretch. First, I'm sure that Google's contract makes it clear that they're not required to put in an ad in all circumstances, so there would be little legal recourse for a company. Second, since the ads are placed on the fly, there's no specific reason why anyone's email should be subpoenaed. The ads are not associated with the email itself - but that particular viewing of the email. So, gaining access to the emails won't show the same ads that were originally placed and will do nothing to prove the legal case one way or the other.

Who Spends More On Media: Consumers Or
Advertisers? 08/03/2004 02:18 PM
An investment bank has released a study saying that consum ers now spend more money on media than advertisers do. Traditionally, things like TV are considered advertising-supported media, rather than consumer supported. However, with the rise of things like cable TV, that's been shifting and the study says it's shifted all the way in favor of consumers spending more on media than advertisers do. However, you really have to wonder how they came up with these numbers, because you could make plenty of arguments concerning what really counts as "media." Does an internet connection count? If so, that's a lot of money being spent on media between cable fees and internet connections. Do services (not content) count? Every year there's a ridiculous study trying to count up how much people spend on online content, and it includes online services like dating sites -- which is completely different than paying for "content." So, it's easy to come up with different ways to have the numbers fall into line, but it doesn't necessarily mean that people are willing to open up their wallets and pay for "content" as some will interpret this latest study to suggest.

Advertisers Agree On Standardized Ad
Tracking System To Better Spy On You

Advertisers Agree On Standardized Ad
Tracking System To Better Spy On You 08/17/2004 05:02 PM
As TV execs are slowly starting to realize that the traditi onal 30-second-commercial-broadcast-to-millions-of-homes model of advertising is dying, advertising execs are trying to help move them along by finally agreeing to a standardized tagging system so that all advertisers can uniquely identify advertisements. Initially, this should make it easier to make sure the right commercials show at the right time, but it also opens up plenty of other possibilities -- some good, some bad. For example, it could make it easier to better customize advertising. An advertiser could easily designate multiple versions of an advertisement for different audiences, and the ID system could easily drop the proper ad into place for the proper audience. Another good idea (though, not suggested in the article, and unlikely to be implemented) would be to build up a big database of publicly available commercials. The amount of traffic a site like AdCritic used to get should show that, even if people are skipping TV ads on their TiVo, they still want to seek out and find the good TV commercials. This system would create a perfect way to classify the ads so they could be in one big central database, allowing more people to view the good ones. Of course, instead of that, it appears the advertisers are drooling about the possibility of tying this AD-ID to RFID so they can somehow tell that you bought product X after watching commercial Y. The article talks openly about how exciting an opportunity this is for advertisers, which shows just how backwards their thinking is. If they want to use these new technologies, instead of telling us how they're going to use them to spy on us, tell us how they'll make our lives better.
