Movable Type Publishing Platform: Movable Type 3.1: What's New
The Vosonic X'S-Drive Pro VP 300 is 40GB external
hard drive that is clunky, cheap-looking, has a crappy text-only
integrated screen, plays MP3s, but not WMA, AAC, or OGG Vorbis, and
can only read from one card from its card reader at a time. So why
would any photographer want it? Because it's cheap, it does the
primary job it was designed to do (act as remote backup for memory
cards), and can accept as many additional 2.5-inch laptop hard drives
as you want to swap into it, meaning that all other things aside, you
can purchase this single $335 drive and continue to upgrade it for
only the price of additional hard drives. Read -

dirty windows, really fast.
Jay Rosen: Independence From the Press Rocks the
Gatekeeper's World. There is a smear campaign launched against
John Kerry. But that is not the only thing going on with the Swift
Boat Veterans. The press may have knocked down the most serious
charges. But the idea of the press as the great adjudicator has also
been knocked down.
Jay is onto something important
here, and it worries me.
The thrust of his argument is that the Swift Boat smear campaign
remains successful on despite the mainstream media's exhaustive
coverage debunking its credibility. The right-wing mediasphere of
blogs, talk radio, Fox and other outlets has given it legs.
The explosion of new voices is manifestly a positive development. So,
too, is people's willingness to be skeptical of mainstream media's We
Are the Purveyors of Truth routine.
But the extent to which lies take on currency remains truly scary.
It's been this way for a long time, in all media, but the Net works
faster. Smears work. Truth struggles to catch up with lies in the
short term, even if it does in the end. We should all worry about
this.

Checking out NordicEdge
Checking out NordicEdge07/09/2004 04:58 AM Early one morning last week (well, "early" is relative, but for me
it's early until I've finished my first pot of coffee) I sat down to
listen to Jens Yhrefors, sales manager at NordicEdge telling me about
his company's "Identity Manager" product. It's certainly interesting,
and certainly useful, but it might be misnamed. Before getting to
that, though, some background.
Checking on Germany09/21/2004 02:52 AM
Interesting article on The Loneliness of Being
German: "Germans have turned their back on the arrogance
of nationalism.. But if nationhood is obsolete then so is identity. It
would mean that there is no such thing as being German and that they
possess no individuality." Meanwhile, far right wing party
growing support in German
elections: "It's a great day for Germans who still want to be
Germans" -- Holger Apfel, NPD leader in Saxony. Germany's
government has described the NPD as a latter-day version of Hitler's
Nazi party.
Mark Baker: This is such a perfectly RESTful
system
I'm pleased to see such a ringing endorsement by Mark Baker of
XML Web Services. Unfortunately, we still have a semantic gap
where Mark uses the terms "browser" and "web services" in such a
limited way, but we can overlook that for now.
Checking In On The Dot Com Dropouts
Checking In On The Dot Com Dropouts09/22/2004 05:16 PM During the bubble years, it was pretty common for students to drop out
of college to start their own company or to join a promising startup.
Of course, for many, once the bubble burst that didn't work out so
well. Red Herring has gone out and checked in with some students who dropped out during the
bubble years to see how well things turned out. While most
weren't particularly successful (and, in some cases, it looks like
their inexperience may have caused some of the problems), all still
believed it was worth the shot -- even if the end result wasn't what
they hoped for. Only one student out of the four interviewed has
returned to complete his undergraduate degree (while another is slowly
catching up on credits). While they may not have been as successful
as they hoped, it looks like all of them got some sort of education in
what starting a business really entails -- even if it's not always fun
and games (and lots and lots of cash) as some people seemed to think.
Blogging, ads, and fact-checking09/23/2004 10:31 AM Pete Blackshaw of Intelliseek has a good article in MediaPost about
the (mainly positive) influence of blogging on advertising,
emphasizing the blogosphere's ability to expose errors, lies and
exaggerations. So, as a lifetime repeat typo and thinko offender, it
is with reluctance that I offer up the irony that in the course of
recommending Dan Gillmor's We the Media, Pete misspells his name. Yo,
Pete, I couldn't not mention that without betraying my blogospherical
loyalties, could I?...
Checking In On CAN SPAM... Still Nothing To Report
Checking In On CAN SPAM... Still Nothing To Report08/05/2004 05:46 PM You know it's a slow news day when about the most interesting story
around is the fact that an anti-spam company has noticed (no, really?)
that CAN SPAM hasn't actually cut down on spam. In fact it's
working so poorly that spammers have even stopped pretending to comply
with it. About one-half of one percent of all spam apparently now
complies with CAN SPAM. Good thing we have that law, huh?

Checking Code Ownership
Checking Code Ownership10/29/2003 12:10 AM SCO claims that hundreds
of lines of their Unix SVR4 code have somehow been mixed with
the
millions of lines of the Linux kernel, and that SCO should
therefore
receive a billion dollars from IBM. (Or something like that.
Novell
says that SCO
doesn't own SVR4, SCO says they do own SVRx, Eric Raymond
says that SVR4
contains misattributed BSD Unix code, and Darl McBride of SCO
says
something different every week.) I'll let you in on a dirty
little
secret: Many large software systems contain stolen or
misattributed
code. This is true of both in-house software and shrinkwrap
software.
Checking In On The Dorm For Dreamers12/03/2003 11:06 AM Last year we had a post about the special dorm
for entrepreneurs at the University of Maryland. It's a dorm for
students who want to start businesses. The dorm is set up to make it
easier for students to run their own businesses, with full wireless
connectivity, professional looking conference rooms, offices, white
boards, and lots of typical office amenities. They also bring in
speakers and have sessions on some of the more important aspects of
starting and running your own business. Finally, they encourage
students to go off and build the business of their dreams. The Boston
Globe now has an article looking at how the program is doing, and it sounds like
it's doing great. Lots of companies have been started, and the
students seem to love the experience they're getting. They especially
seem to enjoy the fact that they get to be around other like-minded
students who they can share stories with and learn from. It sounds
like there are even more companies this year than last year, and quite
a few are making money. Whether or not any of these companies turns
into a sustainable business is less important than the experience the
students are getting. It will be interesting to see if other
universities follow suit.
Checking In On The DVD Jukebox Lawsuit04/18/2005 08:01 AM While the Supreme Court ponders the issues set forth in the Grokster
case, other, lesser known cases are moving forward. Last December, we
wrote about the creator of a $27,00
0 DVD jukebox, who was sued by the movie industry. The product
had all sorts of anti-copying technologies built in, and was very
clearly designed to just let the user store all their DVD movies on a
central server for his or her own viewing pleasure. Here's an update
article that doesn't necessarily say anything new, but does point out
the "real" reason why the movie industry is so afraid. They're
worried that people will rent movies and burn them to the
media server. So, let's get this straight: the industry is
worried that people who are buying a $27,000 movie server will then go
out and save a whopping $7 to $10 or so by renting a movie and ripping
it straight to their hard drive. Of course, in the meantime, plenty
of folks can download a DVD ripping application from the web for free.
Maybe this is one case that the industry can just let go...
