Cory Doctorow: Metacrap - http://www.well.com/~doctor...

Cory Doctorow on the semantic web: "If everyone would subscribe to such a system and create good metadata for the purposes of describing their goods, services and information, it would be a trivial matter to search the Internet for highly qualified, context-sensitive results: a fan could find all the downloadable music in a given genre, a manufacturer could efficiently discover suppliers, travelers could easily choose a hotel room for an upcoming trip. A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be a utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities. "

True, but not the whole story! I think that automatically generated semantic data can be very useful. For instance, social networking sites can use RDFa and FOAF or XFN to annotate the data that they provide. This gets around a lot of the issues that Doctrow mentioned. Of course, as for trust, one needen't accept semantic data from untrusted sources. This suggests using metametadata...

@topfunky Heresey! All snake_case all the time. Easier to read, and not all filesystems are case-sensitive.

Is today the day of mass migration to FriendFeed? FF now just needs to implement the Twitter API, and we can redirect Tweetie to it.

Ah, another little near-finished toy! He's like the Johnny Appleseed of Ruby. He just goes around planting these seeds, but never comes back to water or care for the sprouts. Sure, he may end up canonized in Ruby books of lore, but we'll know. Oh, we'll know.

It just occurred to me that melamine and toxic assets do the same thing. Toxic assets keep the financial system from passing water, and melamine keep people from pissing. One is virtual and the other is real. So China and the US make the same things in different worlds. And they lie about it...

I totally agree, especially with the sourceforge part. GitHub is light-years ahead of anything else. God help me if it ever goes away.

This guy needs to take a look at his hardware and do some house cleaining of his OS, he's having problems that typical iTunes users don't have.
- Shawn Kirsch
I feel his pain. ITunes on Windows is weak. Importing is slow, the user experience is not standard and every time I update (which is required almost monthly...) I have to make sure to remove the Apple software updater, which is always installed even though I state I don't want it and which is, in a word, crap.
- Sprague D
Shawn, most Windows users don't deal with audio that's on a network volume in iTunes. iTunes handles that particularly poorly. Last I used it, I don't think any of the i/o code was threaded, so it ends to just lock up the whole ui for 10-20 seconds at a time.

Agreed, it feels like running an app on Windows 3.1. Why does it take 50% CPU to download podcasts? That software is so weird.
- Eric @ CS Techcast
Sucks ass, period. Go with foobar or Songbird or even Winamp before iTunes on Windows.

I never had an iPhone upgrade go smoothly on Windows I always got a "-6 error occurred". With my powerbook no problems. Lame.

agreed iTunes on Windows machine sucks really bad, so does Quicktime as a matter of fact sometimes I wish there was WinAmp for Mac
