David Pescovitz:
A couple of weeks ago, Mark
posted about a guy who picked his Kryptonite bike lock with a ball
point pen. Apparently, the story worried another man who recognized
that the design of the bike lock was similar to the one on his
Stack-On Products gun cabinet. He called Stack-On and was assured that
his arsenal was safe from a pen pick. He proved them wrong.
"...the man went to a Staples store to buy a box of the
Bic pens that were specifically cited as the break-in tool. He pulled
the ink cartridge out of a pen and widened one end of the barrel
slightly by scraping it with his pocket knife, just like a Web site
instructed.
“I had run home for lunch and was in a hurry,” he
said. “Within 30 seconds, I was into the safe with that
pen.”

Housing Bubble, Continued

04/11/2004 01:19 PMMercury News: As offers pour in, cutthroat market a boon for
sellers. The fast-paced, competitive nature of this spring's
Bay Area housing market has participants and observers alike
speculating on the reasons -- particularly after three years of severe
job losses.
The story goes on to offer all the usual
reasons, such as a shortage of houses and low interest rates.
But there's another very good explanation: rampant speculation of
another kind, inducing panic buying like the kind that occurred in the
stock market in the late 1990s.
This is a bubble that will deflate eventually. It's happening
elsewhere, as this
NY Times story notes today.
The mania will end here, too, and it'll be ugly.

Some of you have said you won't miss the comments if they disappear
entirely. But I still believe the conversation is important, for all
of us, when it works right, and I do want to bring it back.
Incidentally, several of the people who wrote with suggestions are
among my more fierce critics on this page. They still think I'm
mistaken on the issues (we agree to disagree). They aren't here to
cause trouble, but to truly discuss the issues, and they hope we can
restore that discussion for those of us who aren't here just to play
troll games.
I hope so, too, and while I'm thanking everyone individually who
wrote, here's my public appreciation for the ideas and, most of all,
good will.

The Housing Bubble, Continued
The Housing Bubble, Continued
06/19/2004 12:14 PMMercury News (reg req): Economy
boosts valley home prices. The median price of a home in Santa
Clara County reached $590,000, up 20.2 percent from May 2003,
according to DataQuick Information Systems. A total of 2,149 resale
houses changed hands in the county last month, a nearly 30 percent
increase from a year earlier.
It's much more than the
economy at work here. It's a mindless, dangerous bubble that shows
what a short attention span human beings have when they are infected
with greed and/or panic.
This particular news story ends witha local public defender who found
a lender that offered a "zero-down" loan -- that is, loaned the full
selling price with no down payment. I can understand the borrower's
motive, though I think it's an incredibly risky move, but the bank
making this loan is just irresponsible. So is the real-estate industry
that promotes this kind thing, but that's par for the course.
Of course, the lender will now push this mortgage into the national
market, offloading it to some other company. This is how we have such
liquid markets, and the system was a boon in the past, greased as it
has been by the likes of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the giant federal
home-loan operations that act as though they have the full faith and
credit of the U.S. taxpayer behind them even though they do not. But
it is not sustainable, yet nobody in power dares mess with this
machinery.
What we'll see eventually, if we don't find a way to slowly deflate
this bubble, is a massive collapse of the housing market that will in
turn spark a severe recession. The truly scary scenario, still not the
most likely but growing in probability every day, comes when falling
prices for housing lead to massive collapses in the financial
industry.
But if that occurs, the Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs and the
money-center banks with big exposure will be considered too big to
fail. We taxpayers will bail them out to the tune of several trillion
dollars, an amount that'll make the S&L bailout of the 1980s seem
tiny. And the only way that will work will be to re-ignite inflation
on an absolutely massive scale, because the only way to make it work
will be to ratchet up the money supply in unprecedented fashion.
This is a bubble. It will deflate. If it doesn't deflate gently, the
nation is in for the worst kind of pain.

Under Florida law, illegally obtaining more than 28 grams of

More on Taligent
By Don Box
Since posting my "taligent effect" entry on Saturday, I ran across this
excellent online version of Mike Potel's Taligent book.
Here's my favorite quote:
After furious internal debates in the late 1980s,
a new project, code-named "Pink," emerged. It was called Pink because,
at a meeting in 1988, key Apple engineers and managers settled on a
direction for the company by jotting down ideas on index cards and
pinning the cards to the wall in two groups: blue cards, representing
technologies that could be supported as extensions to the current
system software for Macintosh" computers, and pink cards, representing
technologies for a future dream system. The technologies listed on the
blue cards eventually formed the core of System 7, Apple's current
system software. The pink cards listed precursors of Taligent's
object-oriented system software.
As we start to enter the end game of Indigo, perhaps we should start
referring to features as "pink" features and "blue" features. The CLR
team has a euphemism for pink features - they're called
"post-Orcas."
Also interesting was my chance conversation with Chris Lovett, dev
lead and architect of the XML editor in Whidbey. He happened to
mention that he was at Taligent, and had numerous insights into why
the project ended the way it did.
[gotdotnet]
All I know is that Pink (and Jaguar) swallowed up some fine talent
- including Eric Neumann - one of MacroMind's founders. Many of those
folks went to work at Kalieda Labs.
I alre
ady told you about what Dave Kaiser did there - but did I ever
tell yah about how I was the celebrity poster child for Kalieda?
