Ex-Verizon Wireless Employee Stole
Minutes... Many, Many Minutes
08/13/2004 05:45 AMAn ex-Verizon Wireless employee has been charged with
ste
aling and reselling $20 million worth of prepaid cellular minutes.
Since the minutes were activated via the numbers on some cards, he
just copied down all the numbers. Interestingly, while the report
says he stole $20 million
worth of minutes, there's no
indication how much he actually sold them for (or how many were
actually used). Also, he continued to have access to the computer
which stored the numbers after he left Verizon, which sounds like a
major security screwup on Verizon Wireless' part.

60 Minutes wrong again!
60 Minutes wrong again!
01/03/2005 12:23 PMThis is a developing scandal folks...it threatens to bring down not
just a bit player like Dan Rather, but all of network television. On the Jan 2, 2005 episode of 60 Minutes, internet search
pundit John Battelle commented
on Google employees not taking advantage of their newfound wealth
because it's against Google's ethic:
If anybody got a Porsche or a Ferrari right now at
Google, they’d probably be drummed out of the company
My sources deep inside Google (who shall, given recent legal
jeopardy, remain anonymous) tell me that at least one employee has
purchased a Porsche with the IPO monies and has not, repeat, has *not*
been drummed, tubaed, celloed, or otherwise musically extricated from
the company. If true, who knows what this could mean for the future of
journalism as we know it!! The implications on podcasting alone are
unfathomable at this time. More as it develops...
Update: Is this really Ben Affleck's
Bentley in a Google parking space or is it some IPO bling? Who
knows how deep what the press has dubbed "Googlegate" will go before
we get to the truth?

Dan Gillmor has
started posting 1 minute sound clips. It's an interesting form. One
"Minute with Dan" is less than 1MB and short enough to listen to while
browsing through your daily feeds. It's not "save it for my train
ride" size. Also, probably for people who don't know Dan's voice, it
will create a voice behind the words he writes.
I also noticed that VoIP in various forms on my Mac have caused me
to be in an environment where I can listen to audio as my default. One
year ago, I had sound turned off 90% of the time. Now I have it on 90%
of the time...

I think this has been mentioned in the press already, but I
confirmed with Jimmy Wales that a study done by IBM (The group that
did the history
flow work) tried to measure how quickly vandalism on Wikipedia was identified and
corrected. That searched for pages where suddenly all of the content
disappeared or a huge amount was deleted. They found that the median
time for such a page to be restored was 5 minutes. This did not take
into the account the process that where Wikipedians often refactor or
move pages and redirect them which would show a similar behavior. So
the median time is probably less than 5 minutes. In the context of our
discussion about Wikipedia authority, I think
this is quite an interesting and impressive statistic.

12/02/2003 01:34 AMWhile I'm speaking of Barbelith, I thought
I'd mention the latest craze circulating through its dank and musty
corridors. Essentially the premise is this - (i) find an old thread
with particularly good and entertaining dialogue in it (ii) go to the Red Meat Comic
Strip generator and (iii) represent the thread in question as a
Red Meat strip. It's really capturing some of the spirit of the board
(albeit mostly the bits that are most vibrantly foul-mouthed and
politically dubious). Here are some of the latest examples of actual
Barbelith conversations edited down to the nub (Warning - many of
these aren't particularly work-friendly):

Yesterday while driving in Arizona, I tripped across a very
short clip of an Adam Curry podcast that I wished every person who was
interested in podcasting could hear, yet I am sure that only a very
small number have actually heard it.
Adam was doing a podcast while driving in Holland. He's talking
about how podcasting today is like college radio, everbody, when a guy
pulls up next to him and flashes his iPod. They roll down their
windows, have a brief conversation, in Dutch. I won't spoil the fun in
case you haven't heard it, it seems that day the good lord was
godcasting, and Adam and Raymond were just channeling.

language: Some interesting history on PHP. It used to be a Perl
wrapper?
PHP was originally designed as a wrapper around Perl by Rasmus
Lerdorf in 1994 to display his resume information and collect some
data, such as how many hits it was generating. Others first used
"Personal Home Page Tools" in 1995, which Lerdorf had combined with
his own Form Interpreter to create PHP/FI.
Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans, two Israeli developers of the
Technion - Israel Institute of Technology rewrote the parser in 1997,
forming the basis of PHP 3. They also changed the name to its current
recursive form. After months in beta, the development team officially
released PHP/FI 2 in November 1997.

Of late, with the latest version of Style Master released,

old days of CSS. So I thought I might try to ride that wave a little,
cast my mind back over my experience of CSS, and talk a little about
some people you really should be grateful to if you work with CSS and
web standards. Particularly some you might not have heard
of.
There follows a tribute to some of the unsung heroes of the early
history of CSS. And
if that's piqued your interest, Lauren Wood's recent post about DOM
Level 3 becoming a W3C Recommendation has some insights in to the
early days of the DOM

05/18/2004 12:14 AMHow History Gets Twisted
How History Gets Twisted
08/15/2004 11:47 AMA short way into
this review of a new book about Microsoft, a
Boston Globe correspondent writes:
"A guilty finding
was overturned on appeal, and the government settled with the company,
imposing restrictions on its business practices. The resulting
introspection persuaded Gates to stand aside as chief executive in
favor of Steve Ballmer, who would be his partner in remaking the
company."
The number of misstatements in just these
two sentences is fairly amazing.
The judge's ruling that Microsoft had repeatedly violated the law
was not overturned. (And there are no "guilty" or "not guilty"
findings in civil antitrust cases to start with; this wasn't a
criminal matter, though it probably should have been.) The appeals
court specifically agreed with Judge Jackson that Microsoft was a
serial offender, though it did back Microsoft's position in a small
portion of the charges.
The Bush administration's "settlement" was a cave-in, giving back
what it had already won in court.
The "impositions" on Microsoft's business practices are widely
seen outside the company (and probably inside) as next to meaningless,
and certainly haven't had any visible effect on competition in an
industry that Microsoft still controls.
Ballmer became CEO in 2000, before Judge Jackson ordered
the breakup of the company, and long before the appeals court
overruled him.
I bring all this up mainly to point back to the first item -- the
notion that the company was cleared of wrongdoing. This has become
popular "wisdom," and it's incorrect. Every judge that has had to rule
on this has agreed that Microsoft broke the law to maintain its
monopoly.
Let's at least remember that much.

covers a tremendous amount of material, from Erik Satie to Brian Eno
to Air.
"Chillout is a state of mind. It's making space in your
head to enjoy the setting and the sounds. It's a long drink on a long
sunny day. It's a moment taken to appreciate the beauty of the
simplest things. And it's even better with a decent
soundtrack."

Movie Database - Wikipedia: An interesting few paragraphs on the
history of the IMDb.
The database started out in 1990 as a collection of shell scripts
created by Col Needham which could be used to search the FAQs posted
to the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.movies.
In 1993, a centralized e-mail interface for querying the database
was created, and in 1994 this interface was extended to allow the
submission of information as well. The database then moved to a
Web-based interface, which initially ran on a network of mirrors with
donated bandwidth. In 1996, the project was incorporated in the United
Kingdom to form Internet Movie Database Ltd., and banner ads were
added to the web site.
In April 1998, the company was bought by Amazon.com, the current
owner; however, a number of the original creators, including Needham,
remained as site managers.
How many great things in the world started as shell scripts
somewhere? It's a hacker's world.
