iCitizen 2010: Dinosaurs in your phone?
Posted on May 7, 2010 | No CommentsWhile I was recently attending the iCitizen 2010 Symposium, Noora Guldemond, Head of Marketing at Metaio—a company focused on developing Augmented Reality experiences—showed me a few recent AR examples her company developed. This Jurasic Park example curiously doesn’t have the usual black and white “target” that I normally recall seeing in many AR demos. In [...] -
Nikkei, Japan’s business newspaper, pulls some 2001 anti-linking tricks
Posted on April 9, 2010 | No Comments
Remember back during the days of Netscape when folks tried to use Javascript to prevent you from copying their images? You'd get a little window that says "YOU ARE A THIEF! HOME HOTLINKING IS KILLING THE MUSIC INDUSTRY!" and then you'd view source, grab the image tag, and be on your way? Well Nikkei just pulled out its Learn HTML 1.0 in 48 Hours book and is now preventing links to its articles and severely limiting right clicking on its exciting home page.
According to the NYT, Nikkei not only stops right clicking but now requires a written application to link to its news, citing issues with the free vs. paid model that has essentially destroyed American news-gathering as well as concerns that its precious news will end up in pump and dump scams.

Justice? 80,000 Americans facing copyright-related lawsuits
Posted on March 31, 2010 | No CommentsWe haven't really progressed beyond the year 2004, have we? With respect to copyright news, I mean. The latest: the "US Copyright Group" has filed suit against 20,000 BitTorrent users, with a cool 30,000 lawsuits now pending. If you total all the various different "Hollywood" (you know what I mean) lawsuits, that means that 80,000 Americans now face some sort of traffic-lawsuit.

Casttoo: A tattoo for your cast
Posted on March 10, 2010 | No Comments
Know what’s weird about being an adult? Or adult age, for that matter? You really don’t see too many casts any more. In grade school, it was like “Oh, hey, fifteen kids have broken arms and legs.” Now, it’s like, “I hope a broken arm will be enough to get you to admit you have a drinking problem.”

CEA boots small vendors out of Las Vegas hotels
Posted on January 11, 2010 | No Comments
In the dog eat dog world of the CE business, margins are low and money - especially in this economy - is tight. That's why a number of smaller vendors, including some we talked to in Vegas, took rooms in local hotels or ran "peripheral" events in other venues. The Daily Tech reports that some of those vendors have been ousted by the hotels themselves after the CEA, the organization that runs CES, convinced management to force them out.

Pet dinosaurs for everyone! Pleo is back!
Posted on October 26, 2009 | No Comments
Seriously, who doesn't want a pet dinosaur? Sure, Jurassic Park makes it seem all dangerous and life-threatening and such. Would you really let that stop you? I think not. But until genetics research and cloning catch up to our imaginations, we'll have to settle for robotic proxies. And everyone's favorite little Camarasaurus just got back on the market.

Time to panic? RIAA wins suit against Usenet.com
Posted on July 1, 2009 | No CommentsIt's safe to say that I shed no tears yesterday when, for all intents and purposes, The Pirate Bay ceased to be. Suffice it to say that if Usenet comes under attack next I will not be a happy camper. (I know, I know: The first rule of Usenet is not to talk about Usenet, but bear with the story for a minute.) The RIAA just won a lawsuit against usenet.com, which, as you might guess, is a premium Usenet provider.
