We've already discovered, just so far, the remains of 400,000 people in mass graves.
Um, no. No, you haven't.
And USAID, in its report Iraq's Legacy of Terror: Mass Graves, might want to do some fact-checking too, along with our dear leader as well ("There's mass graves"), and his supporters.

Palm OS PDAs work with Audible thru
Macs, iTunes 4 02/13/2004 05:19 PM
Audible, Inc. recently announced the availability of an iTunes 4 plug-in that allows Mac OS X users to seamlessly transfer downloaded Audible content to audio-enabled, Palm-based PDAs, such as the palmONE Treo 600 Smartphone and Tungsten, Zire, and Sony CLIE handhelds. Previously, the only available Mac-ready mobile options compatible with Audible's proprietary file format were Apple's iPod and the company's own Otis portable player. An Audible representative told MacCentral that the plug-in is part of the firmware upgrade that you receive when you download the AudiblePlayer for Palm application as part of the Audible service set-up. The plug-in was declared "gold" on Monday and should now be part of the firmware upgrade.

Lies, Damn Lies And Telephone Calls

Lies, Damn Lies And Telephone Calls 02/12/2004 02:44 AM
You would think that, if someone needed to tell a lie, they'd prefer to do so over email, where they wouldn't let their voice betray them. However, a new study says that people are more likely to lie over the telephone than over email. Amazingly, email-based lies were at the bottom of the list. People told the most lies over the telephone, the second most face-to-face, followed up by instant messages and email last. Maybe that's why people are tryin g to fight parking tickets via the phone. Apparently, there's just something truthful about email. The basic theory by the researcher, though, is that people tell lies by voice because there's no record of what they said - and it can vanish into thin air and be disputed later. They also lie more during live conversations because they're put on the spot and don't have time to think through a good answer. That certainly makes some amount of sense. Of course, the other theory (which I like best) is that the subjects for this study lied in giving their results...

Lies, Damn Lies And Technology

Lies, Damn Lies And Technology 05/12/2004 05:13 PM
A few months ago we wrote about how one guy predicted that 3G mobile phones would never take off because the camera phone part would make it difficult to lie about where you were. We had no idea that most people used their mobile phones to lie about their location (or that that single factor would damn the entire product category). However, apparently the lying segment of the population is out there, and they've got money to spend, so solutions started cropping up, including a way to put fake image backgrounds into camera phone images to make people think you're somewhere you're not and (even more impressive) fake audio sounds to complete the faux imagery. There are even (apparently) bars that have fake office backdrops for camera phone enabled workers sneaking out for a drink. Douglas Rushkoff is now wondering about all this technological effort put into helping us lie better and wonders if it really shows how technology advancements make us more truthful. All these efforts show that people now need to make much more of an effort to be dishonest, which makes it even clearer (perhaps to themselves as well) how much they are lying. In fact, Rushkoff believes that such enforced honesty should be seen as an opportunity for people, rather than as a reason to avoid the technology altogether.

Terrorist incidents actually ROSE in 2003, but the State Department's "Patt erns of Global Terrorism" report, issued April 29 (see Appendix G for an easy chart), said the exact opposite. Senior Bush administration officials immediately hailed it as objective proof that they were winning the war on terrorism. The report is considered the authoritative yardstick of the prevalence of terrorist activity around the world. Reports like this one were all over the news in April--will the fact that it was a lie be reported as widely? And can we trust anything this administration says anymore?

Work-Life Balance Tilting Too Much
Towards Work 11/14/2003 02:51 PM
One of the downsides to the fact that people can work whenever they want is that it's sometimes hard for people to stop working. According to a study done in Europe, many overly stressed out workers are asking their bosses to cut their hours and salary just to gain back some control over their lives. Meanwhile, many bosses in IT are increasingly worried that their staff is going to burn out. Of course, a lot of that could be solved if companies hired more people, but they still seem hesitant to do so.

Big Fat Lies, two years later

Big Fat Lies, two years later 07/15/2004 01:27 PM
Low-carb jumps the shark? More than half of all Americans who've tried low-carb diets have given up, a new survey found. Is this the latest indication that the Atkins fad has peaked? Two years ago this month, Gary Taubes kicked it off with a NYT Magazine cover story arguing that emerging science proved Atkins right and the nurtition establishment wrong. A couple small, short-term studies released shortly thereafter seemed to show he was on to something. But there were problems with the "Big Fat Lie" piece: CNN found that three of the researchers Taubes cited completely disagreed with his main premise. Worse, it turned out Taubes had claimed low-fat diets don't work while ignoring the vast body of peer-reviewed evidence to the contrary, and more of his sources came forward to say things like "I was greatly offended by how Gary Taubes tricked us all into coming across as supporters of the Atkins diet. I think he’s a dangerous man. I’m sorry I ever talked to him." [More Inside]

Fox News lies with statistics 05/21/2004 06:49 AM
My cow-orker Jason Schultz identifies a nice bit of Fox statistical chicanery:

Among today's top stories, a new "Fox News Poll" that says 33% of those surveyed think the media is too easy on Kerry and 42% think the media is too tough on Bush. [Of course, if it were limited to FoxNews coverage, you'd probably see dramatically different numbers in the opposite direction.]

But let's just look at the numbers they've given us. 33% think the media is too easy on Kerry. That means 66% (or 2/3rds) think the media is fair or too tough on Kerry, right? Isn't that the real story?

Xeni Jardin: Following up to this week's sad news that sexploitation auteur Russ Meyers has passed away (Link), BoingBoing reader Richard Crepeau says, "Thought I'd spread the word about a Hoodoo Gurus side project called the Persian Rugs. One of their videos uses Russ Meyer clips from Mondo Topless. A nice hybrid between garage rock and camp."

On their website, the band says:

"Music and sex go very well together. For proof, just take a look at the video for the Persian Rugs' new single 'Be A Woman'. The band and director Todd Sheldrick have created the perfect setting for the band's 60's Punk-inspired Primal Rock: strippers and cavemen collide in a 21st Century psychedelic garden of eden. (...) The Rugs got in touch with famed 60's director Russ Meyer, the maker of such films as 'Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!'and Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls' (the latter a direct influence on the Austin Powers movies) and asked for permission to incorporate footage from one of his cult classics, 'Mondo Topless', into their new filmclip. Russ asked to hear the song first, [and] loved it (...)

Doc reports from the Garage.....

A reader just pointed me to Appcraft.org, an "international application developing platform for handheld and smartphone." Yesterday Trolltech's Qtopia Phone Edition won a Product Excellence Award at LinuxWorld (disclaimer: I was a judge on that one). Qtopia is a development environment for phones and PDAs. It's clear that the phone is becoming a new and rich environment for mobile applications. In fact, it's clearly eating the PDA (look at the Treo 600).

It's not clear, however, which phone OS platform will win the hearts and minds of developers. Symbian is the platform offered by some of the big phone makers, and it seems to be ahead right now; but Palm, Microsoft and Linux are also in the mix.
I'm interested in seeing how DIY-IT plays here. One can easily imagine a raft of business apps that tie employee phones into company data environments, for example.

Thoughts?

Whenever I hear about some open mobile/PDA platform - I think of Russell Beattie.

Russ Kick on Afghan food drop fiasco

Russ Kick on Afghan food drop fiasco 05/26/2004 07:46 PM
Our current guestblogger Russ Kick wrote a great piece for Loompanics about the US food drop to Afghanistan.

You know those little packets in vitamin bottles and clothes that are supposed to keep them fresh? Well, many of the little meal packs dropped on Afghanistan contained one of those packets (called a desiccant) to keep the food fresh. Unfortunately, the Afghans aren't familiar with desiccants so they tore them open and ate the powder. Some thought it was medicine, so they noshed it straight. Others figured it was a funky American spice, so they sprinkled it on their beans, rice, or pasta. Lots of Afghans got sick, though we don't know if any deaths occurred. In fact, it's hard to say whether people got sick from chowing down on desiccant or because the food in the packets was usually spoiled.

New guestbl0gger -- Russ Kick of The
Memory Hole and Disinformation

New guestbl0gger -- Russ Kick of The
Memory Hole and Disinformation 04/30/2004 12:17 PM
First, gratitude to our outgoing guestblogger Alan Graham, for holding down the right hand column this past month. Thank you!

Next: A warm welcome to our new guestblogger, Russ Kick, the author of several books, including The Disinformation Book of Lists: Subversive Facts and Hidden Information in Rapid-Fire Format and 50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know.

Mr. Kick is also the editor of many anthologies, such as Everything You Know Is Wrong: The Disinformation Guide to Secrets and Lies; You Are Being Lied To: The Disinformation Guide to Media Distortion, Historical Whitewashes and Cultural Myths; and Abuse Your Illusions: The Disinformation Guide to Media Mirages and Establishment Lies. He has also written articles and a column for the Village Voice.

The Memory Hole, a website devoted to rescuing knowledge and freeing information, is his labor of love. Russ first made the front page of the New York Times when he digitally uncensored a heavily-redacted Justice Department report. In April 2004, he posted 288 previously unseen photos of military coffins coming back from Iraq, which he had pried loose from the Air Force. This set off a worldwide media frenzy leading to the front pages of most major newspapers, heavy rotation on CNN, the lead story on network newscasts, and interviews on Good Morning America and CBS Evening News. You can browse through some of that extensive media coverage here , via Google News search.

I have no doubt that Russ will indeed Kick it on the BoingBoing guestblog. Welcome! Link

Your request was denied because of its content categorization: "Extreme;Politics/Religion". For assistance, contact your network support team.

How interesting. I post raw documents created by the government, military, and corporations. These days, that apparently amounts to "political extremism." Naturally, I've filed a FOIA request about this blocking.

Nice Straight Dope column about electricity generation in a Dawn of the Dead scenario. If various types of power plants (nuke, coal, gas, hydro, wind) were unmanned, when would they stop functioning, and how would the grid handle it?

Bottom line? My guess is that within 4-6 hours there would be scattered blackouts and brownouts in numerous areas, within 12 hours much of the system would be unstable, and within 24 hours most portions of the United States and Canada, aside from a rare island of service in a rural area near a hydroelectric source, would be without power. Some installations served by wind farms and solar might continue, but they would be very small. By the end of a week, I'd be surprised if more than a few abandoned sites were still supplying power.
