Google Wave is a failure if they can't dogfood the blog.

Raphael - what does it mean to dogfood the blog??
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
Jannifer - Eating your own dogfood. (When a company uses the products that it makes.) "On Saturday morning, Google confirmed that it was testing a new concept in mobile phones, writing in a blog post that it was “dogfooding” the devices, an expression that comes from the idea that companies should eat their own dog food, or use their own products." -- Source, NYT.
- Mark Davidson
On second thought... Raphael, what does it mean to dogfood the blog? Use Wave instead of Blogspot for their blog?
- Mark Davidson
that's what I thought he meant by it. Besides isn't Blogger/Blogspot Google now anyway? that sort of counts, no?

Mark - Oh ok, I see what you mean now. Maybe that's what he meant by dogfood the blog... ?

All of Google's blogs are on Blogspot, and yes, they own it.

"From 1992 to September 2003, pharmaceutical companies tied up the federal courts with 494 patent suits. That's more than the number filed in the computer hardware, aerospace, defense, and chemical industries combined. Those legal expenses are part of a giant, hidden "drug tax"--a tax that has to be paid by someone. And that someone, as you'll see below, is you. You don't get the tab all at once, of course. It shows up in higher drug costs, higher tuition bills, higher taxes--and tragically, fewer medical miracles. So how did we get to this sorry place? It was one piece of federal legislation that you've probably never heard of--a 1980 tweak to the U.S. patent and trademark law known as the Bayh-Dole Act. That single law, named for its sponsors, Senators Birch Bayh and Bob Dole, in essence transferred the title of all discoveries made with the help of federal research grants to the universities and small businesses where they were made.

This is such an important topic! I agree, too, that some of the problem with plagiarism is that there's little consistency with what "counts" as plagiarism.

I still think that in science, it's the data that needs to not be plagiarized, but I could care less if someone copied someone else's _prose description_ of an independently acquired set of facts. Plagiarism to a humanities major is far different from plagiarism to a scientist.
- Mr. Gunn
Mr. Gunn -- it seems unusual that you would not be concerned if a scientist were to publish a "_prose description_ of an independently acquired set of facts" if, for example, you were the scientist from whom the prose description was lifted and the plagiarizing writer became the one credited with the idea/s -- particularly given the popularity of "sound bites" as a communication tool.
- Mickey Schafer
And I agree wholeheartedly that plagiarism is a different animal for humanities scholar and scientist -- but the difference is in the disciplines' relationship to language itself. In the case of science, where quoting is discouraged and language is simply a tool of communication, every sentence in a research paper represents an idea with an intellectual history behind it. If a sentence...

What's odd is I cannot locate the PHS statement anywhere. ORI is here: http://ori.hhs.gov/policie... (see section on finding research misconduct) and the Federal Registry is here: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin.... I must be missing something in the searches.
- Mickey Schafer
@Margot -- I think that the inconsistency related to defining plagiarism is that it has become the word used to name all kinds of writing misconduct -- plagiarism is really a major branch off of writing misconduct, but it is not the only branch -- what we need is a good, old-fashioned organizational chart!
- Mickey Schafer
Mickey - I think you have a very well-taken point. The word isn't used precisely; in fact, I'd argue that it's become a sort of "blanket" word and is now used in free variation with the larger category of writing misconduct that you mentioned. It's an object lesson in using language precisely...
- Margot Kinberg
Mickey - you're mostly right about what I meant. I really would not care if someone else lifted a bit of descriptive text from one of my papers. In fact, I encourage it. Scientists would do well to find a particularly clear way of explaining something and then use and re-use that wording, especially those who are publishing in a language they might not have totally mastered. In science,...

- Mr. Gunn
Mr Gunn -- "quite common and accepted to re-use verbiage" is exactly why I've never used one of the plagiarism detection services. I'm going to run an experiment of sorts next semester and use Turnitin just to see what kind of percentages come up and how those tally against my "expert intuition" as to whether something was really plagiarized. And I wonder if we haven't engaged in a bit...

"It's the ideas and the data which convey the intellectual history. - Mr. Gunn" -- this is quite interesting. I've worked with many students who stated their work was in their data. This remains the case while conversing with like-educated experts, but often fails when reaching across disciplines, where the frames of understanding that lead to a particular data set are not shared. I...

- Mickey Schafer
Mickey - Let's just say that whether or not I get a grant depends much more strongly on the data and less strongly on the text of the application (really atrocious writing is a different matter). In that respect, the value of my academic output is in the data, and that's where the attribution becomes important.
- Mr. Gunn
Okay. That makes sense. And is representative of the relationship most scientists have to their output (data first; words a distant second). Thank you for responding.

Afternoon all. I've written my first robot, which hopefully will embed an interactive mass spectrum into a blip whenever a UniProt name is encountered in the text, and corresponding mass spec data is found for this protein. I say "hopefully", as I've not been able to test it for real, as, alas, I have no account. When are the next batches released? If it's not for ages, does anyone fancy testing it anyway?
