Editor's Notebook: School of the Future World Summit

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Editor's Notebook: School of the Future World Summit
A short article, but with links to the primary sources. The author summarizes, "Last month, an impressive assemblage of educators and policy wonks from around the globe gathered at Microsoft’s campus in Redmond, Washington to discuss secondary education reform." There's an update and (more importantly) a link to the Microsoft-based School of the Future in Philadelphia and well as a reference to Australia's Fitzroy High School in Melbourne. More...

Stand Up

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Stand Up
Stand Up, a recent release from The Dave Matthews Band, was distributed on CDs using copy control technology. Perhaps the lable should have consulted the artist, as the band has posted instructions on how to circumvent the technology on its website. More...

More Colleges Strike Up Music-Sharing Deals, Despite Lukewarm Response in Dorms

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. More Colleges Strike Up Music-Sharing Deals, Despite Lukewarm Response in Dorms
The students don't want it. So why are colleges purchasing download services? Well part of the reason is that music publishers might sue them otherwise. "Legal downloading deals 'may be a self-protection mechanism,' he said. 'Colleges can say, well, at least we have this, so we're doing something to stop piracy.'" Buy our product or we'll sue you.

Talks between DVD groups break down

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Talks between DVD groups break down
Talks between the two major DVD groups have broken down, and so the format will fork between the Blu-ray and the rival HD DVD system. But you know what? Who cares. More...

Sun Launches Open DRM Project

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Sun Launches Open DRM Project
This headline has been splayed across the IT press sector this week: "Sun Microsystems has launched an ambitious community project aimed at building a universal system of digital rights management based on 'open source' software." But I think the final and authoritative word belongs to (Sun's) Tim Bray: "What all the DRM dreamers don’t want to admit is that 95% or more of the population hasn’t yet encountered DRM, and when they do, they aren’t going to like it".

Companies Dinged on Web Privacy

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Companies Dinged on Web Privacy
From time to time I voice the opinion that corporations are simply not to be trusted to respect such things as personal privacy. I'd like to be able to say that this is merely blind prejudice, but sadly, it is an opinion based on cold hard fact (and, indeed, the myth that corporations can be trusted seems to me to be more like fantasy).

The Mindset of Freshmen

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The Mindset of Freshmen
Sure, it's fun to imagine the mind-set of students who are 18 years old today (born in 1987), but really, the list in Inside Higher Ed is pretty lame. A better list? The moon landing ahppened 18 years before they were born (by contrast, World War II ended 14 years before I was born). There has never been a Berlin Wall (fell in 1989) and Russia has always been a (chaotic) democracy. More...

GoogleTalk Of The Town

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. GoogleTalk Of The Town
Well today's big news is the release of the Google instant messaging client. In one fell swoop (because it uses the open Jabber protocol) it obsoletes the competition and at the same time poses significant competition for Skype (will Google and Skype ever talk to each other... oh, it is but to hope). Anyhow, it's all over the blogosphere, so you don't need me for this. More...
