Fi'ing high 
Who new?
| | Turns out Podato has a real meaning. I used it as a headline yesterday, but I'd rather point to the original. Read the first link to find out why. |
Quote du jour
| | Hal Crowther: ...if you polled the entire Yale class of '68, how many would express "uncertainty" about evolution? My guess is just one — the President of the United States. |
| | Written in June. One of the most hard-hitting articles to come out of the Left in years. |
Podding a way
| | I want (no, need) to podcast from the road. But all my experiments have proven too noisy, so far. |
Tuning the post-Grokster sphincter
| | For those offering potentially targeted products or services, it may be tempting to fixate on the innovation chilling aspects of Grokster, and perhaps be stopped cold by the onerous task of subjecting all of one¹s internal and external communications, marketing concepts, and business strategies to a Grokster-oriented review. For their part, copyright holders correctly recognize this decision gives them new tools and weapons with which to target new defendants in the war on infringement. A workable approach beneficial to all concerned, and designed to minimize claims for infringement under Grokster, can and should begin with clear, consistent internal communications that leave no room for doubt that, although something conceivably (or actually) has both infringing and noninfringing uses, the infringing ones are a secondary consequence and the product or service stands on its own and flourishes without them. Once everyone involved in development, promotion, and support takes this as an article of faith, the "Don¹ts" and "Dos" for avoiding Grokster-type liability can begin to move out of the realm of "audit," and into that of consistently sound decisionmaking. |
| | In other words, it's a pain in the ass, not terminal cancer of the innovation orifice. |
