Most Outrageous Rebate Offer Ever
Most Outrageous Rebate Offer Ever
02/01/2005 09:07 PMI stumbled upon this while looking for a deal on TurboTax. I
honestly cannot believe they expect customers to spend $300 and then
wait 12 weeks for them to send back $270. Then they throw in this
little gem:
Note: Some rebates in this Tax Software Bundle are
UPGRADE / COMPETITIVE UPGRADE rebates. Please review those
rebate coupon for detailed information.
I won't even get into the fact that my Mac doesn't need half the
stuff they are offering for "free". What a bargain.

Journalist: Wikipedia is "outrageous,"

Cory Doctorow:
A Techdirt writer sent a note to Al Fasoldt, a "journalist" with the
Syracuse Post-Standard who wrote an editorial telling his readers that
Wikipedia couldn't be trusted and should be avoided ("Wikipedia is a
do-it-yourself encyclopedia, without any credentials").
Fasoldt responded with an increasingly patronizing and hysterical
series of messages in which he described Wikipedia as "outrageous,"
"repugnant" and "dangerous," insulting the Techdirt writer and
storming off in a huff.
My main problem was that he seemed to write off Wikipedia based solely
on how it was created and maintained, and not at all on the actual
content. Along with my post, I sent an email to the writer, Al
Fasoldt, giving him some additional information about Wikipedia, and
wondering why, after telling us how you can't trust any random info
online, he trusted the email from a random librarian claiming
Wikipedia was somehow untrustworthy. The ongoing discussion with Mr.
Fasoldt has been quite a lesson in watching how a journalist (a)
continues to make unsubstantiated allegations (b) seems to prefer
insulting me and putting words in my mouth to actually responding to
my points or questions and (c) sticks steadfastly to his belief that
only "experts" can be trusted with information -- and, in his case,
only experts that he chooses. Yet, somehow, we're supposed to find him
more trustworthy than a self-correcting community. Figuring he might
appreciate the views of others in his profession (you know,
"experts"), I sent him links to Dan Gillmor's article on Wikipedia and
Steve Yelvington's recent realization of the power of Wikipedia.
However, rather than actually look at that information, Mr. Fasoldt
accused me of wanting "students to trust a source that's not
trustworthy." After some back and forth of this nature, where Mr.
Fasoldt responded to my request that he do a little more research by
saying: "I'm glad you're not the publisher of a newspaper"
(apparently, his publisher lets him do no research at all) and then
telling me that anyone who wrote for Wikipedia obviously knew nothing
(his phrase was: "100 times zero is still zero"), I suggested an
experiment. I pointed to the Wikipedia page on Syracuse, NY where he
apparently lives, and suggested he change something on the page, to
make it provably, factually incorrect -- and see how long it lasted.
Rather than take me up on the experiment, or suggest an alternative,
he complained simply that the whole idea of Wikipedia was
"outrageous," "repugnant" and finally (in another email) "dangerous,"
and therefore he refused to take part in my experiment.

Phone DRM cartel lowers fees from

04/13/2005 05:46 PMCory Doctorow:
Last month, I
blogged about the deceptively named Open Mobile Alliance that
provides DRM for music/movies on
cellphones. The OMA licensing cost was $1 per handset, which means
that buying OMA for all of last year's phones would have cost $684
million -- more than the total market for digital music.
The OMA has responded by generously cutting that licensing fee to
$0.65/handset, which brings the cost of outfitting all the phones sold
this year in line with the approximate market for digital music. Yeah,
that'll work.
