Why Microsoft should get out of DRM
Topic: Technology 8:22 am EDT, Jun 18, 2004

] Greetings fellow pirates! Arrrrr! I'm here today to talk
] to you about copyright, technology and DRM, I work for
] the Electronic Frontier Foundation on copyright stuff
] (mostly), and I live in London. I'm not a lawyer -- I'm a
] kind of mouthpiece/activist type, though occasionally
] they shave me and stuff me into my Bar Mitzvah suit and
] send me to a standards body or the UN to stir up trouble.
] I spend about three weeks a month on the road doing
] completely weird stuff like going to Microsoft to talk
] about DRM. I lead a double life: I'm also a science
] fiction writer. That means I've got a dog in this fight,
] because I've been dreaming of making my living from
] writing since I was 12 years old. Admittedly, my IP-based
] biz isn't as big as yours, but I guarantee you that it's
] every bit as important to me as yours is to you. Here's
] what I'm here to convince you of: 1. That DRM systems
] don't work 2. That DRM systems are bad for society 3.
] That DRM systems are bad for business 4. That DRM systems
] are bad for artists 5. That DRM is a bad business-move
] for MSFT It's a big brief, this talk. Microsoft has sunk
] a lot of capital into DRM systems, and spent a lot of
] time sending folks like Martha and Brian and Peter around
] to various smoke-filled rooms to make sure that Microsoft
] DRM finds a hospitable home in the future world.
] Companies like Microsoft steer like old Buicks, and this
] issue has a lot of forward momentum that will be hard to
] soak up without driving the engine block back into the
] driver's compartment. At best I think that Microsoft
] might convert some of that momentum on DRM into angular
] momentum, and in so doing, save all our asses.

This is a great talk Cory Doctorow gave at MSFT recently regarding all of the arguments we have made over the years regarding DRM. (via boingboing)

Cingular Taps Lucent for WCDMA/HSDPA Trial Network (Phone Scoop) 14.4 MBPS WIRELESS IN ATLANTA
Topic: Technology 5:16 pm EDT, May 26, 2004

] Cingular today announced that it has selected Lucent to
] deploy a WCDMA/UMTS and HSDPA trial network in Atlanta.
] The 3G network will use 1900 MHz PCS spectrum to test
] WCDMA/UMTS technology, supporting data rates up to 384
] Kbps. Cingular will also test the network with Lucent's
] High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSPDA)software
] upgrade. HSDPA boosts WCDMA data rates to as high as 14.4
] Mbps.

RFID Journal - Automotive RFID Gets Rolling
Topic: Technology 1:33 pm EDT, Apr 14, 2004

] With government funding and access to a large swath of
] radio spectrum, four RFID developers are starting work on
] a new generation of RFID products aimed at bringing
] greater safety and new wireless applications to U.S.
] roads.

[ Domino motherfuckers! I've been predicting this one for a while now... lots of potential, both good and ill, with this kinda tech. We're truly not too far from car-to-car comms, automated crash avoidance, network blackbox reporting, emergency services overrides/lockdowns, etc. Gonna be very interesting to watch how this evolves. -k]

÷öä - MARGIN - Ami Ben-Bassat's Blog
Topic: Technology 12:35 pm EST, Mar 23, 2004

] On Friday, March 12, 2004, a group of several dozen
] Internet addicts from Israel and abroad, gathered in the
] large grass yard of the Ohalo Center near the Sea of
] Galilee. The purpose of the gathering was to view a live
] experiment sending 3 homing pigeons, each carrying tiny
] memory cards containing, in total, 4 GB of data.
]
] According to the planners of the experiment, the idea was
] to improve on a similar experiment carried out several
] years ago in Bergen, Norway and to show that, unlike
] previous experiments, usage of pigeons enable to transfer
] data faster than ADSL. The upcoming of April Fools' Day
] seems to be a proper timing to take the challenge.

New Scientist -- Robot Builder could 'print' houses
Topic: Technology 9:09 am EST, Mar 11, 2004

] A robot for "printing" houses is to be trialled by the
] construction industry. It takes instructions directly
] from an architect's computerised drawings and then
] squirts successive layers of concrete on top of one other
] to build up vertical walls and domed roofs.

That is damn cool--

Hacking the MuVo2
Topic: Technology 2:19 pm EST, Jan 22, 2004

] It seems that it's 4GB MicroDrive isn't soldered to the
] rest of the device, so with a little work, you can remove
] it, replace it with a 1GB MicroDrive and use the 4GB
] drive in your digital camera or PDA. Why would you
] bother? Because the $299 MuVo2 costs considerably less
] than a standalone 4GB MicroDrive (which on its own goes
] for about $499).
