Apple is holding my data hostage

Posted by Unknown Jumat, 28 April 2006 0 komentar
When my boys' videos started getting some interest via their podcast and the Make film festival, I got 2 emails in a row from Apple's mac.com service saying I was exceeding bandwidth limits, and then I was cut off.Back when I worked for Apple, they launched mac.com as a free service, and I bagged our family names in their namespace. The integration of iDisk into the OS made it a simple way to post...

The Copyright Extension scam

Posted by Unknown Kamis, 20 April 2006 0 komentar
In the UK, the copyright term on sound recordings is set at 50 years. It's been this way since 1911, but suddenly, with the Gowers Review coming up, there is an orchestrated attempt to get it extended.

Patent Trolls

Posted by Unknown Jumat, 07 April 2006 0 komentar
I broadly agree with Paul Graham's essay on Software Patents, but I do think he underestimates the damage from patent trolls, and from what he calls the mafia-like behaviour of some patent holders.Paul has been lucky in the field he has worked in, but in the Audio and Video area there are many patent thickets.

Posted by Unknown Sabtu, 01 April 2006 0 komentar
I've been saying for a while that the left/right split is often irrelevant to the politics around the net; it is much more about freedom and control, about trusting the public en masse or fearing them.I have two illustrations of agreement across political lines tonight. First, danah boyd and Bill O'Reilly of Fox News in striking agreement over myspace.Secondly, Tara Hunt's Marx-citing on marketing:But...
