Reactions to being back in the UK... 02/17/2004 07:50 PM

Well of course it's the jet-lag that makes tired and frustrated with the UK. It's the jet-lag that makes me want to be part of a larger and more productive internet community. It's the jet-lag that makes me begrudge the local weather. It's the jet-lag that makes me jealous of the extended social networks and friendships that my gay friends in the States appear to have. It's the jet-lag that makes me miss actually going outside and having fun for a change rather than beating myself up about not doing enough extra-curricular work activities. It's definitely the jet-lag that makes me angry about how much everything costs here. It's almost certainly the jet-lag that makes the rent on my flat the same as a beautiful three-bedroom house in Korea Town. It's got to be the jet-lag that makes me pine for a city with a beach or a bay or hills or features or views. Grr. I will be fine in a couple of days.

Reactions to MobiTV


Reactions to MobiTV 11/17/2003 11:40 AM
We didn't mention Sprint's new MobiTV television service for cellphones last week, mainly because we're completely underwhelmed by the prospect of paying ten bucks a month to watch choppy, one frame per second video on a cellphone. Douglas Rushkoff's column in The Feature this week echoes our sentiments, writing that the carriers are wasting their time trying to foist this on the public. On the other hand, the first few reviews of MobiTV that have trickled in have been generally enthusiastic, so maybe it's a bit too soon to write this whole thing off.

Reactions to the Whither Mono? column


Reactions to the Whither Mono? column 03/19/2003 10:26 PM
Jacques Surveyer has posted a thoughtful response to my Whither Mono? column. His item, entitled "Mono is eerily like the disease," says in part:
Take a gander at http://gru nge.cs.tu-berlin.de/~tolk/vmlanguages.html and the number of languages that use the Java JVM - about 3-4 times as many languages that use .NET. But the really insidious notion is that .NET is "language neutral". As Visual Basic and Cobol developers have learned to their dismay - adopting a language to conform to the CLI/CLR/.NET Libraries means a number of Frankenstein-like cut and add operations. In the case of VB it is so bad that Microsoft's own enginers started to call VB.NET Visual Fred because it is so different from its predecessor, VB6.

Adds Kevin Altis, in an email quoted with permission:
We do have examples of other languages running in the JVM. Jython in particular works great, I don't know of any "scripting language" that works well in the CLR, only the early proof-of-concepts which aren't viable for real work. VB.NET is basically C# light, so maybe only one language works in the CLR.

Reactions to Symantec’s security report
mixed
03/23/2005 05:20 PM
Symantec’s recent report on Internet security has drawn the ire of many Mac users who see it as a self-serving ploy to guard its own interests in the $10 million a year security software industry. Many of the mainstream media have been running news stories with headlines that scream “Macintosh Hacker Attacks on the Rise”, while several Mac enthusiast websites went on the defensive, attacking Symantec for trying to boost sales of its Mac software. Symantec claimed in its report that as Apple regains marketshare (highest being 15.82 per cent in 1984 with the Apple II), the number of malicious hacker attacks will also rise. In an article posted on its website today, The Mac Observer (TMO) quotes David Cole, Symantec product management security response director, as saying there is no actual data to prove a connection exists between security risks and increased marketshare. "It's reasonable to assume that with in increase in market share and popularity comes an increased interest by the hacker attacker community to go after the Mac. No platform is absolutely free of vulnerabilities and no users at the end of the day are impervious because they use a particular product," Cole said in the article. Cole said the biggest "holes" for hackers to attack are vulnerabilities in browsers. Between July 1 and December 31, 2004, Symantec documented 13 vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft IE, nine considered high severity. Six vulnerabilities were reported in Opera and none in Apple's Safari browser. TMO says the report called the zero number of confirmed Safari vulnerabilities "somewhat surprising given the increasing popularity of Mac OS X," but suggested that as the browser grows in usage, so will the attacks. Mac users do have a valid point in remaining skeptical of Symantec’s intentions. The $10 million security software industry has been so far dominated by Symantec and McAfee, both of whom now face a drop in marketshare as Microsoft enters the security game with the acquisitions of Sybari, a company that specialises in combating viruses and spam, and Giant, which creates anti-spyware. Microsoft aims to be a serious force in the security software industry and it makes sense to cut out the middle man. Perhaps Mac users would rather their enhanced security products came from Apple itself, rather than third party vendors who seem to have a vested interest in finding new “threats”.

Time To Back Up Your Back Ups


Time To Back Up Your Back Ups 09/01/2004 06:24 AM
Wasn't Jack Valenti just telling us that DVDs last forever? Maybe not. As many people are now learning, digital media has a pretty rapid decay rate. The latest to discover this was a reporter who, five years ago or so, had fallen for that old (har har) "paperless office" gag that has been pulled before. He bought a CD-RW and scanned in all sorts of stuff (including photos and old articles he'd written) -- and then made the fatal mistake: he tossed out the original copies. Glad to have the filing space back, he proceeded to shove the CDs on a shelf somewhere and forget about them for years... until now. Partly out of curiosity, he pulled out these backup CDs, put them in his CD drive and discovered the wonders of Windows error messages. He begins to wonder (uh oh) what will this mean for all the CDs and DVDs he's been paying good money for over the years. It would be nice if he could back them all up, perhaps multiple times to various different storage media, but the entertainment industry isn't real keen on that idea, seeing as they're actively stompin g out those who try to help you save your own digital files.

Ed's Back! Ed Broadbent was the most successful leader in the history of Canada's New Democratic Party, leading the NDP to win 43 seats in the 1988 federal election. Now Ed's back, and he's running for under new leader Jack Layton -- with video! (.rm, .mov, .wmv formats) Canadian hip-hop will never be the same. Is this the future of Canadian politics?

"Back-to-Iraq" bl0gger is back in Iraq


"Back-to-Iraq" bl0gger is back in Iraq 05/20/2004 05:43 PM
Clive sez: "Chris Allbritton has begun blogging from Iraq. He's the writer who raised $13,000 last year from his blog readers to fund an indie-reporting trip to Iraq during the war. His readers have asked him to go back, and he raised another $11,000 in the last few months. He just arrived in Baghdad, and has begun writing more of his excellent stuff -- slices of everyday life in one of the most fraught places on earth. The first post describes the crazily harrowing landing you have to endure when you fly into Baghdad, as the plane corkscrews down to avoid shoulder-mounted missiles:"
After a normal flight, we went into a tight, corkscrew dive that sent your stomach up into your throat — and in the case of two passengers, out their mouths and into their laps. It’s a vomit-comet experience. But if you like roller coasters in a sealed container where you can’t really see anything, it’s a lot of fun. Just don’t think about the very real threat of shoulder-mounted SAMs.
