Outlawing progress

Posted by Unknown Selasa, 31 Januari 2006 0 komentar
The change to the internet from recorded music and broadcasting is as big as the change to radio from live performers.Imagine legislation limiting radio to the speed of sound, and transmission range to the size of the Albert Hall.That is what the Broadcast Flag and legislation mandating DRM is attempting to do. You can't turn copyable bits into scarce atoms by legislative fiat.Technorati Tags: digital...

Technology to free, not coerce

The British Government's Identity Card bill is returning to the Lords' this week, and The Times has a Rees-Mogg editorial saying:It seemed then that the internet might be a liberalising influence, giving the individual more power relative to the State. To an extent this proved true. [...]Public fear of terrorism gave governments the support needed to tighten systems of social control and supervision....

iLife considered huge

Posted by Unknown Rabu, 11 Januari 2006 0 komentar
So, I want to try out iWeb, but it needs 10GB to install iLife, so I need to find myself a bigger hard disc.Update, midnight. I formatted an 80GB partition, installed Tiger, and iLife is just finishing. Meanwhile, Niall made an iWeb blog.The markup is rather eccentric. What it reminds me of is Google's PDF to HTML translation, though Pages does something similar - mapping a very non weblike layout...

Dead Trees

Michael Kinsley: The trouble even an established customer will take to obtain a newspaper continues to shrink, as well. Once, I would drive across town if necessary. Today, I open the front door and if the paper isn't within about 10 feet I retreat to my computer and read it online. Only six months ago, that figure was 20 feet. Extrapolating, they will have to bring it to me in bed by the end of the...

How Apple lost it's Web Video mojo, and how it could get it back

Posted by Unknown Selasa, 10 Januari 2006 0 komentar
Clayton Christensen is warning Apple against repeating old mistakes, but they have made different mistakes in video before.Between my accepting a job on QuickTime at Apple in 1997, and my visa coming through in April 1998, Apple launched QuickTime 3.The long awaited fully cross-platform version, it brought full editability and extensible video playback to Windows, and was abstracted enough to run...

Yet, the arguments recur.I was going to write a post called 'Tyranny of the Storytellers' when I realised I had said it before in my first week of bloggingToo often the best storyteller for a particular audience can win out over someone who is constrained to telling the truth. A current example is the DRM...

Live TV is dead, and we're noticing the smell

Posted by Unknown Jumat, 06 Januari 2006 0 komentar
Doc notes the Viiv announcement with trepidation, and also says:I've almost given up anyway. The other night in the hotel we watched Anderson Cooper, CNN's version of Geraldo Rivera (always On the Scene, always Concerned, always Talking With The People Involved), report for 45 minutes on word that nearly all the trapped miners in West Virginia were saved. In the morning we found out that the report...

Hierarchies and Caliban's Mirror

Posted by Unknown Kamis, 05 Januari 2006 0 komentar
I've said before that the net is large, and contains multitudes, and thus what you find in it is what you look for. Like Caliban, raging at your reflection is counterproductive.Dave Rogers finds hierarchies.David Weinberger finds collaborators. Shelley Powers finds, er, something that she disapproves of a pattern, cryptically.Sorry Shelley, I was evidently looking for the wrong thing. Writing is hard.Technorati...
