EU pays for, then ignores study on copyright extension

August 27 at 10:11 am - via Bookmarklet - Link

Phillip Stewart, Olifante and Hassan Ibraheem liked this

"The European Union wants to add 45 years to the current 50-year copyright on musical recordings, arguing that aging performers can't afford to be cut off from sources of income just when they need them the most. In defense of this plan, Commissioner Charlie McCreevy's proposal said that no external expertise on the matter was required and, furthermore, that the (music-industry-provided) data he already had said the plan was a good one. Now, a prominent European academic is furious that his work—which the European Commission requested and paid for—has been totally ignored by the very Commission that signed off on the piece and published it." - Marcos Marado via Bookmarklet

ABC News: Is the End of Unlimited Internet Near?

Monday at 9:49 am - Link

"Today's bandwidth hog is tomorrow's average user," said Fred Von Lohmann, a senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit civil liberties group. If a cap had been imposed on the top 10 percent of Internet users in 1997, many Internet innovations of today would likely not exist, he said. - Phillip Stewart

I still fully believe that flash is only right to use for movie/animation purposes, and games. Anything else is probably (most likely) wrong usage. - Daniel Bruce

flash on the web is broken. - Marcos Marado

Yes, you Yuvi. Seems eveytime I check, you've commented or posted in the past 10 minutes. And yes, AMEN. Question: do these apply to Silverlight as well? Silverlight is already SEO friendly. And I belive you can integrate your existing AJAXy controls straight into it. - Roberto Bonini

I believe a lot of these still apply to Silverlight, as it still requires a plugin to be installed, which can be a problem for many devices. It's also still pretty annoying. - Daniel Bruce

@Roberto Bonini - I wonder where the notion that SL is SEO friendly comes from. It's just a zip file, with APPLICATION CODE in it. How is THAT SEO friendly? (Note: I like Silverlight, and have actually programmed in it. I'm a .NET guy, so this is NOT flaming) - Yuvi

@Yuvi - I believe the argument is that the XAML stuff is "machine readable", whereas the flash stuff is compressed and/or binary. Of course, I have never used SilverLight, so I can't say whether this is just stupid, or not. - Daniel Bruce

I was just about to say the same thing. The way SL is structure the XAML is esseitially a text file that is parsed and rendered by the SL runtime ( itself a subset of .net 3.0). Hence XAMl is indexable by Google, etc becuase it is simply text. - Roberto Bonini

@Roberto, @Daniel - No, Wrong. XAML is an object initialization language - It just creates objects. In the case of Silverlight, it just creates Silverlight Objects - Textboxes, Labels, Buttons, etc. No Content. I can't see how SEO applies here. - Yuvi

Which is exactly why I'm only citing what I've heard, as I have no real experience with it. It did sound fishy. =P - Daniel Bruce

Shops track customers via mobile phone - Times Online

"Signals given off by phones allow shopping centres to monitor how long people stay and which stores they visit. Customers in shopping centres are having their every move tracked by a new type of surveillance that listens in on the whisperings of their mobile phones. The technology can tell when people enter a shopping centre, what stores they visit, how long they remain there, and what route they take as they walked around." -- I knew it will come, I wonder only why so late... - silpol via Bookmarklet

“Since passage of the Patriot Act, many companies based outside of the United States have been reluctant to store client information in the U.S.,” said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington. “There is an ongoing concern that U.S. intelligence agencies will gather this information without legal process. There is particular sensitivity about access to financial information as well as communications and Internet traffic that goes through U.S. switches.” But economics also plays a role. Almost all nations see data networks as essential to economic development. “It’s no different than any other infrastructure that a country needs,” said K C Claffy, a research scientist at the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis in San Diego. “You wouldn’t want someone owning your roads either.” - Leo Laporte
