Mobile
09/02/2004 12:11 PMSwallowing its pride Opera has agreed to develop a smart phone browser
for Microsoft’s Windows Mobile operating system. Not to long ago
Opera announced that they would never come out with a browser for
Microsoft Windows Mobile OS, so why did they change their minds?
It goes without saying that Windows is the world’s most popular
desktop operating system, but unfortunately the same cannot be said
for the smart phone market. Ever since Microsoft introduced its own
browser back in the day (browser wars), this Norwegian company and
Microsoft have had their problems (still are). Early last year
Opera’s browser had
"compatibility issues" when users
visited Microsoft's MSN portal webpage, but since then Opera and
Microsoft have reached an agreement worth $12.75 million. The reason
for Operas change of heart is because of the demands from its
customers. Customers who feel that Opera is the best browser no
matter what platform you're using, and according to the vast majority
of analyst Opera does in fact make the best browser for mobile devices
such as smart phones.
It's good to see a company meet its customers needs, but don't expect
Opera to be making a cash cow out of this market any time soon. As
they aren't the only ones with a smart phone browser. Right now the
smart phone market is dominated by Symbian operating systems, which
accounts for 94% of all smart phones worldwide. Leaving Microsoft
with 4% of the market, and the other 2% to lesser known smart phone
operating systems. One has to wonder how long it will take until
Opera calls foul, and we’re back to bickering between Opera and
Microsoft. Until then I look forward to seeing how Opera's smart
phone browser performs against its competitors.

java.util.concurrent for Java 1.4
java.util.concurrent for Java 1.4
12/19/2004 03:06 PM
One of the shiniest new feature of Java 5.0 (aka Java 1.5) is a
rich set of concurrent
programming classes in java.util.concurrent (aka JSR 166),
much of which is a
direct port of Doug Lea's Concurrent
Programming in Java library. Since I don't have the
luxury of using Java
5.0 yet, I've resorted to using Doug's original library which is,
for the most part,
functionally equivalent to java.util.concurrent but not close
enough for comfort,
particularly since concurrency code tend to be very sensitive to
minor changes.
The good news is that Dawid Kurzyniec
backported
java.util.concurrent package to run under Java 1.4 and made it
available as open
source. Apparently Sun is letting this happen because it's
own code is based
on Doug's open source library.
There are some shortcomings but nothing much to cry over. My
only complaint
is that it doesn't use the java.util.concurrent package name which
means I'll have
to update the package names later (simple but still change
nonetheless). But
that I can see the technical and legal issues preventing that from
happening.
I am just glad someone did this.

Bit Torrent : An Analysis
Bit Torrent : An Analysis
12/19/2004 03:10 PMHardy news site,
The Register, recently published a
detailed analysis of the file sharing protocol
Bit
Torrent. Bit Torrent has received attention in the main stream
news after reports that it was carrying as much as 50% of all peer 2
peer (p2p) traffic, which in tern amounted to a massive 30% of all the
traffic on the internet. The paper, by Dr. Johan Pouwelse, examines
the protocol and looks especially at one of the largest bit-torrent
hubs, Suprnova.org. He examines how just 20 moderators solve the
problem of fake files, something that plagues the traditional file
sharing networks like Kazaa.
Dr Powelse notes that the major problems facing hubs like suprnova are
fakes and maintaining hub availability. The availability of files on
bit torrent is based on a centralised system; without it, the network
fails as users cannot access the trackers. Decentralising bit torrent
has already begun - Suprnova have started a project called "
Exeem" which apparently has 5,000 beta
testers trialling it, and has an ultimate aim of taking the best of
Kazaa (a decentralised network) and merging it with Bit Torrent.
Decentralisation removes the issue of poor availability at the tracker
end, yet0 it also provides more scope for fake files and a reduction
in data integrity at the user end.
The paper concludes that bit-torrent needs to evolve to create
incentives to users to seed files. Bit-torrent as a protocol is a
system that’s here to stay; it enjoys more and more usage from more
main stream content providers. Yes, there is a lot of illegitimate use
of the protocol, but unlike Kazaa, these users should not be allowed
to over shadow the usefulness to legitimate users of the bit torrent
protocol.
[Update] Since this article was published, Suprnova has
shutdown as a hub for torrents. Although this cannot be confirmed, the
shutdown is very likely related to legal action from the
Hollywood against tracker
websites; earlier in the week many other sites were taken down.
The effectiveness of the takedowns could be massive; the paper below
notes that when on the Suprnova mirrors went offline during their
monitoring period, they saw a massive reduction in the number of users
downloading files through the site.

Mark Pesce rants about
the recent shutdowns of BitTorrent supersites Suprnova.org and
TorrentBits.com.
Hey, Hollywood! Can you feel the future slipping through your fingers?
Do you understand how badly you've screwed up? You took a perfectly
serviceable situation - a nice, centralized system for the
distribution
of media, and, through your own greed and shortsightedness, are giving
birth to a system of digital distribution that you'll never, ever be
able to defeat. In your avarice and arrogance you ignored the obvious:
you should have cut a deal with SuprNova.org. In partnership you could
have found a way to manage the disruptive change that's already well
underway. Instead, you have repeated the mistakes made by the
recording
industry, chapter and verse. And thus you have spelled your own doom.
It's said that the best sequels are just like the original, only
bigger
and louder. Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for one hell of a
crash. This baby is now fully out of control.

Bit Torrent question
Bit Torrent question
04/09/2004 10:30 PMBit
Torrent and the ability to download everything in one click (is this
the end of Direct TV, Tivo and the music business?!).
Used BitTorrent a little bit when it first came out and was a bit
underwhelmed. It didnt work, there werent a lot of
places to find files, etc.
I decided to take another look at it when a designer friend of mine
was telling me that he has the latest version of every single piece of
design software on his Mac compliments of bit torrent (yes, I know
its wrong
not the point Im trying to make, the point
is coming :-).
Part I: I installed bit torrent and immediately
noticed an amazing new trend (prob. not new to all of you) of people
posting dozens of albums in one RAR file for download. Huge file sizes
in the 500 to 4,000 meg size range. The last season of seven seasons
of Southpark, every Nirvanna album and here is another file with every
Howard Stern radio show from March in one file.
In one click you grab one really well organized, clean and deep
sets of filesscary.
Part II: A couple of month ago I got the Gateway
Connected DVD player. For $195 it connects via WiFi to my desktop and
I can hit the My Music or My Videos button on the remote control and
pull up those directories on my hard drive (in the other room).
Part III: Today I moved into my new apartment in
Santa Monica and was faced with the standard $100 month cable/dish
bill and Im thinking dang, I only watch less then a half
dozen TV shows and they are all here on bit torrent
maybe I
should save the $1,200 a year and just download the shows and watch
them via my Gateway Connected DVD player?
The Point/Question: How soon before youll be
able-with one click-download every prime-time TV show or last
years top 500 CDs in one click?!
(Note: This is not a trick question, I have yet to find a file
containing that much contenthowever, I did find a file with last
weeks top 100 singles that someone put together in one nice
package).

Microsoft builds a better Bit Torrent
06/17/2005 03:18 PMResearchers at Microsoft's computer science lab in Cambridge have
developed a peer-to-peer filesharing system that they say overcomes
the scheduling problems associated with existing distribution
protocols such as Bit Torrent.
The researchers claim download times are between 20-30 per cent
faster, using their network coding approach, than on systems that only
code at the server, and between 200 and 300 per cent faster than
distributing un-encoded information.

Cory Doctorow:
LokiTorrent is a BitTorrent indexing site -- like the lamented
Suprnova -- that has been threatened with legal action by the MPAA for
telling people where to download torrent files that allow them to
download video and other large data-objects. Unlike some of the other
Torrent indexers that shut down last week, LokiTorrent is mounting a
legal defense. They're trying to raise a legal defense fund of
$30,000, and they've made $11,500 in the first 12 hours.
