Nice asses 
Paneling
| | The panel went well, considering. (People tell me it did, anyway.) Denise blogged it and already Bryan, a panelist, is (along with the rest of us) dealing with the afterbloggage. |
| | AKMA's been blogging hard too. We're both sitting in a corner right now, quietly tapping away... |
Loose talk
| | Sitting having lunch with Peter Biddle of Microsoft. He's saying quotable stuff: |
| | A law mandating technology would be bad, bad, bad. |
| | A law mandating Microsoft technology would be bad, bad, bad. |
| | I'm looking forward to more conversations about Palladium, which I still, frankly, don't know much about. |
Ramping up to the panel
| | Everybody here at DIDW seems to represent the supply side of the Identity Issue. Which is exactly the problem. It's top-down stuff. We need somebody speaking for the customer here. Looks like I'll be the first. |
| | Here are a few examples of where I'll be coming from: |
Quote of the day
| | Because media companies see intellectual property as their only asset, they're willing to risk totally alienating their entire customer base in order to protect that asset. |
The latest on Lessig
Live from DIDW, first session...
| | Phil Becker: Privacy is about enforcing a netgative - what you agree not to do wth data gathered for a specific purpose. Privacy enforced by policy will not be trusted as much a privacy which is created structurally or architecturally.... Authentication is not an end, but a means to indentity based transactions... |
| | Guy from GM... embrace stretch teargets... move with a sense of urgency.. enhance customer focus... I was hoping he'd be interesting, but alas... |
Help!
| | My Sony PC-110 camcorder, which I use primarily as a digital camera, won't shoot pictures because it tells me, in large blinking yellow type, that I have a FORMAT ERROR. |
| | Removing and reinserting the memory stick doesn't do anything. Ideas? Thanks. |
| | [Later...]  Mitch Ratcliffe came through by recommending that I reformat the MemoryStick in the computer's PCMCIA slot. I don't have a memory stick adapter for that, but I do have a firewire connection. So I hooked up the camera by firewire, turned itn into a hard drive, erased the directory for still pictures, and... it worked. Amazing. My first test shot is this one on the right, of myself and Dr. Weinberger, blogging away. |
Losing the PR war
| | On any given day, stashed deep within the Technology section of any major newspaper, you¹ll find a boring little article opposing the efforts of the RIAA and similar organizations. Within all the techno-babble of the piece, you¹ll find the author defending the consumer¹s fair use rights. However, on the front page of the same newspaper, you¹ll find an unabashed and touching piece supporting the RIAA, claiming that all consumers are thieves, not to be trusted, ravaging the once vibrant music industry. |
ID World Nudes
| | I'm here at Digital ID World in Denver. Things haven't even started and already there's a lot going on. Had a long talk a the bar last night with Phil Wolff, who seems to be the living opposite of Catbert the Evil HR Director. Among other things he introduced me to the koncept of klogs — knowledge weblogs. |
| | Eric Norlin is here and seems to be running things. Interesting conversations last night with Eric, with Bryan Field-Elliot and a bunch of other folks. |
| | Now I'm sitting at breakfast with Frank Paynter and Denise Howell. We were talking Eldred a few minutes ago, agreeing that Larry's chances are on the long side. He's arguing Eldred before the Supremes today. Look for the transcript in about ten days. Meanwhile it says here to look here for updates from the hearing itself. |

I have a FORMAT ERROR.
If your DV cam is like other Sony cameras that use the Memory Stick, look in the menu and try reformatting the stick. That ought to do it. Good luck.

I missed Jack...damn..Bet he'll be stopping off at McArthur Liquors on the way home tonight.
Only 50 of the folks on line got in. The oral lasted exactly an hour.
People had started camping out Friday night in front of the building.
Couple of people had protest signs and were walking around with them.
Most got to view parts of the argument via the 3 minute line.
Personal opinion, I don't think the court thinks the have standing in this case. I do not think this is going to turn out like the media think it will. Lessig was brillant, Ted wasn't bad either.
Ch 9 here comitted a major ethic blunder be giving out details of what was found at the latest sniper site.
We have it all blogged for you.

Media's actual asset is the relationship between the customer and that Intellectual property asset not the IP asset itself..
When a Media company gets this concept look out they crush companeis liek AOL-Time warner in spades!
