August 2009: How Google beat Amazon and Ebay to the Semantic Web

August 2009: How Google beat Amazon and Ebay to the Semantic Web
This is a great article describing clearly how the semantic web will change our relation to information - and to each other. As I read this article, I began to sense how what I will call "semantic opacity" will be necessary for the semantic web to work properly. In the new semantic web, everyone will have access to statements like "[Citibank] says (Scott Rahin) is (Trustworthy)" and "[The Sherriff's Department of Dallas, Texas] says (Dave Trebuchet) has (Bounced Checks)." But do I want the world to know what Citibank or some Sheriff's department thinks about me. More...

Click from Microsoft to Amazon

Click from Microsoft to Amazon
OK, leaving aside the implications this has with respect to large, overbearing software companies, open distribution systems, online commerce, and the like, let's focus on the strategy behind the deal which allows Microsoft to offer users of its software products access to Amazon's complete library through a feature in Office.

Seventh-Graders Learn to Build Robots With Legos

Seventh-Graders Learn to Build Robots With Legos
This is the sort of hands-on activity that will over time come to typify online learning (why do people think online learning is merely reading a computer screen?). Lego supports this sort of activity with its Mindstorms program, and modding has become a major driver for Lego. More...

Analysis of the MediaMax CD3 Copy-Prevention System

Analysis of the MediaMax CD3 Copy-Prevention System
This report explains how to disable a copy-prevention method applied to an album released by BMG by simply pressing the shift key. DRM Watch gets the analysis right: "this is a superb example of what DRM Watch believes is inherently wrong with the anticircumvention provision of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The Act allows technology that patently (pun intended) doesn't work - and SunnComm's MediaMax is hardly the only example - to be protected by the threat of criminal prosecution. Halderman's work is probably not criminally liable, because DMCA 1201 carves out circumvention for research purposes, but an ordinary consumer pressing Shift while inserting a CD into a drive may be breaking U.S. federal law. This is simply absurd. The law allows any technology marketed and sold as 'copy protection' to be shielded in this way." Now my own position, of course, is that unbreakable copy protection is overkill. More...

NMC Online Conference on Learning Objects

NMC Online Conference on Learning Objects
I've signed up for the NMC Online Conference on Learning Objects (even though it costs money) partially because it's interesting to me but mostly because part of it trakes places across the hall from my office. OK, I'm kidding. More...
