Since the SCO Group began threatening to sue organizations that run Linux, some commercial Linux vendors have stepped forward to assure customers that they would protect their interests should the court find in SCO's favor. While it's still an open question whether anyone will ever need such indemnification, major vendors Novell, Hewlett-Packard, and Red Hat have programs in place to protect their customers.

New Approaches To Television Archiving by Jeff Ubois
ht tp://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue10_3/ubois/index.html

Abstract:
Worldwide, more than 30 million hours of unique television programming are broadcast every year, yet only a tiny fraction of it is preserved for future reference, and only a fraction of that preserved footage is publicly accessible. Most television broadcasts are simply lost forever, though television archivists have been working to preserve selected programs for fifty years. Recent reductions in the cost of storage of digital video could allow preservation of this portion of our culture for a small fraction of the worldwide library budget, and improvements in the distribution of online video could enable much greater collaboration between archival institutions.

Winter approaches in Alaska 12/17/2004 06:36 PM

A friend in Alaska sent this email in response to a postcard from warm sunny Greece:

"So, you are there...and... well...we are here... in the snow, sleet, rain, pestilence, fog, and darkness.  What more can be said?  The dogs are howling, the bears are hibernating, and we are hunkered in our camp, slowly cooking cassoulet while riding out the storm.  In fact, it has been so bad here that one of our local judges, Sam Adams, age 47, died of a heart attack while on a moose hunt a week ago, and he had to stay put with his hunting party for a few days before the clouds could clear and the plane could land. Can you imagine being one of the guys around the fire, wondering whether to put cards in Sam's hand, or look for another moose, etc."

Approaches for the too-many-tabs problem

Approaches for the too-many-tabs problem 12/02/2003 01:27 AM

I've seen various, slightly differing solutions to the too-many-tabs-to-fit problem recently. Amazon does a "more tabs" thing at the right, the new AOL has an embedded tab scrolling thing (the tabs that are not embedded don't scroll, thus allowing for a selection of more important tabs that are always visible), and SAP has a scrolling tab solution without the tabs that stay (couldn't find a screenshot...). Point to other solutions in the comments and I'll add screenshots.

It seems like the too-many-tabs problem is slowly coalescing towards a standard solution for websites.

I've seen the Mac solution below being used on a weblog at one point, but I can't find it anymore. Anyone?

Getting Close to the Customer: Quantitative vs. Qualitative Approaches
http://knowl edge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/971.cfm

After adapting information technology to develop ever more sophisticated research methods, marketers are taking a second look at more human, qualitative approaches to tapping into the hearts and minds of consumers. As one Wharton marketing professor says: "We can put each customer's order on a microchip, but as far as having a sense of what's inside making him tick," the answers remain elusive. He and others suggest that companies use both qualitative methods - such as data mining - and quantitative methods, ranging from "concept banks" to "brand communities" to customer advisory boards, always keeping in mind the cost effectiveness of these varied approaches.

On technology and song lyrics... 01/24/2004 07:18 PM

I love it when technology creeps from innovation to ubiquity. Or - more to the point - I love that very first set of transitions, when you're watching a movie or a TV show and suddenly for the first time they're actually using e-mail or talking about Googling someone. In analysing the sensation, I keep coming back to a mingling of a few different experiences - one is of a private world becoming public, one is of elation and approval and one is (weirdly) a sensation of vindication (even if the technology has been around for years). I suppose there's something profoundly reassuring about seeing your strange habits and vocabulary represented to the world as being totally normal - exotic or cool even - particularly when it's done in a form that hundreds of thousands of people might encounter. Maybe it's a bit like being accepted at school or something.

Here's an example of one of those moments, from a medium (rock song lyrics) that isn't exactly known for its take-up and referencing of breaking technologies:

My phone's on vibrate for you
Electroclash is karaoke too
I try to dance, Britney Spears
I guess I'm getting on in years

My phone's on vibrate for you
God knows what all these new drugs do
I guess to have no more fears
But still I always end up in tears

My phone's on vibrate for you
But still I never ever feel from you
Pinocchio's now a boy
Who wants to turn back into a toy

So call me
Call me in the morning
Call me in the night
So call me
Call me anytime you like

My phone's on vibrate for you
For you [Vibrate by Rufus Wainwright]

Mario and Zelda Big Band: NES music with
Latin beats and Japanese lyrics 06/19/2004 01:25 AM
Someone just posted a track by the "Mario and Zelda Big Band" on a private file-sharing site I'm on. This is a Japanese big band fronted by a singer whose delivery reminds me of the frontwoman for Orquesta De La Luz (my favorite Japanese salsa band), and backed by a huge horn and winds section. They've got a CD of a live performance of music from classic Nintendo games, with invented Japanese words and super tight Latin jazz melodies. I've just ordered the scorchingly expensive CD and while I wait for it to arrive, I guess I'll just keep this one track in heavy rotation. It's fantastic. Link

X.Org is set to release a new version of their X11 server tomorrow (X11 is the system that drives the GUI desktop on Linux and other UNIX systems). The notable part of this release will be extensions to the X protocol that will allow more flexibility in the compositing of windows. This allows for drop shadows on windows, translucent windows, and other visual effects (The screenshot at right is a bit small, but it shows a video playing at 50% transparency with a browser behind). Linux-Gamers.Net has the full scoop:

Another useful feature is the inclusion of the new XDamage extension. Monitoring the regions affected by rendering has wide-spread use, from VNC-like systems scraping the screen to screen magnifying applications designed to aid users with limited visual acuity. The DAMAGE extension is designed to make such applications reasonably efficient in the face of server-client latency.

This all seems a bit technical, I know, but it will mean a more 'Mac-like' visual experience for Linux desktops, and more efficient rendering. The screenshots look great. Windows users, don't worry. I'm sure Longhorn will be along eventually. Right? =)

History of candy bar wrappers

History of candy bar wrappers 03/14/2005 05:29 PM
Cory Doctorow: This Syracuse University thesis on the history of candy bar wrappers is a very breezy work for an academic paper -- insightful and interesting history of the evolution of an object whose ubiquity has rendered it invisible to our modern eyes. Interesting to think that there was a time when the idea of a candy bar wrapper was novel.

Candy wrappers are designed to communicate with consumers, - even though the communication may often be one-way. The bright colors, shiny paper and animated logos speak to our culture in the most friendly and trusting tones. We know that each wrapper holds the promise of something good - at least as good as Grandma used to make.

Now I don't know what exactly you'd want to use this Waysmall 200ax-bt 200MHz computer with integrated Bluetooth for, but that's not because it's useless. Just the opposite, in fact. For $184 you get a low-power computer running the Linux 2.6.0 kernel with webserver and remote login and power management circuity on-board. Throw a solar cell onto this little bad boy and you could do all sorts of fun things, like embedding a permanent webserver into a building, controlling a swarm of wireless robots, or developing the first Bluetooth-enabled loaf of bread. At just 8.3 by 3.6 centimeters, the 200ax-bt still manages to pack in USB, serial, sound, and LCD controller - now with AC adapter!
