Have you ever been annoyed by advertisements that suddenly pop up in your computer screen?

UseNet Service UseNet.com Loses Copyright Infringement Case - (USA)
While a few NZB sites have been targeted before, this may be the first time a service that offers UseNet access has been dealt with a blow. In court, UseNet.com has lost their case against the RIAA. The case has been going on since 2007. “While others claim to have huge download limits,” UseNet.com says , “we deliver unheard of download limits and incredible access to two huge geographically diverse server farms. But huge download limits are of no use if you can not get the material you are

How To Use Usenet, A Beginners Guide | TorrentFreak - (USA)
Usenet is considered to be the most “private” way to share files. In other words, no MPAA or RIAA watching your back. It is fast, has a lot of content, and it’s getting more popular, even though the technology is almost 30 years old. Time for an introduction.

Cory Doctorow’s Makers, Part 3 (of 81) - (USA)
Illustration by Idiots’Books The afternoon passed quickly and enchantingly. Perry was working on a knee-high, articulated Frankenstein monster built out of hand-painted seashells from a beach-side kitsch market. They said GOD BLESS AMERICA and SOUVENIR OF FLORIDA and CONCH REPUBLIC and each had to be fitted out for a motor custom built to conform to its contours. “When it’s done, it will make toast.” “Make toast?” “Yeah, separate a single slice off a loaf, load it into a top-loading s

In the first place, why do I register at different Websites on the Internet, and you should too?

Cluetrain at Ten - a conversation at Berkman - (USA)
Ten years ago, when the internet was young and innocent, four provocateurs posted their manifesto, The Cluetrain Manifesto . It was snarky, it was smart, it sold well, and it influenced a lot of thinking. It’s ten years old now, and it’s worth asking how it aged. So Jonathan Zittrain is questioning David Weinberger and Doc Searls about their baby, in front of a star-studded group at Harvard Law School. This should be fun. (Star-studded? Let me put it this way - Dan Bricklin, the crea

The paradigms of e-learning - (USA)
I’m currently working on chapter 2 of my thesis - the literature review. Mine is using the Ps Framework as the organising structure and also as part of the contribution of the thesis. I’m currently working on the “Past Experience” component of the Ps Framework. Recently, I posted the History of technology mediated learning section. It provides a brief overview of technology-mediated learning prior to e-learning - defined as using the Internet. In writing that section it became readily

Predicting the Future of Alumni Education – The View from 1972 and 1988 - (USA)
In October 1972, almost 40 years ago, Brown University 's Ad Hoc Committee on Continuing Education issued a report. I first saw this document within a week or two of starting in alumni relations at Brown in early 1989. The Report was included in a 1988 update by yet another committee, whose work included looking forward and prognosticating about the future of alumni lifelong learning and the role of the alumni association. I do like to address the future of alumni relations, but "futurism" i

CLEAR Launches 4G WiMAX in Atlanta - (USA)
If you live in Atlanta, you’ll be happy to hear that there’s a new ISP in town. And I’m not talking about just any type of Internet connection. I’m talking about WiMAX (read my Thoughts on WiMAX post). It’s called CLEAR by Clearwire and its launch makes Atlanta the “Fastest Unwired City in the South”. That’s a pretty hefty claim that I’ll have to put to the test later. CLEAR isn’t the first WiMAX provider in the United States – Sprint launched WiMAX under their XOHM brand name in Baltimore la

CAD in the cloud - (USA)
Anyone who was “business aware” and lived through the first internet bubble is probably a little skeptical about “the cloud”. The first internet bubble was really about irrational optimism, and a belief in technology for which there was no currently profitable application. The addage “if you build it, they will come” turned out to require some qualifiers. There may still be some people out there who don’t really get the concept of “the cloud”, and why it is still shown in quotes much of the ti

The Network Before the Internet [Network] - (USA)
The network started to breathe in the 70’s. Above, the first ethernet cable, found in PARC’s labs by Boing Boing Gadgets . Dag Spicer , numero uno Curator at the Computer History Museum, tells us more: John Shoch and Jon Hupp at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center discovered the computer “worm,” a short program that searches a network for idle processors. Initially designed to provide more efficient use of computers and for testing, the worm had the unintended effect of invading networked c

Becoming a better blogger, reader and helping me take out the trash: Trimming in Public: Episode 8 - (USA)
Trimming in Public is a series where I go through my list of 293 RSS feeds, 10 feeds at a time, give some detail as to why I subscribed to a particular feed, and then decide whether or not to keep on consuming that feed. In Episode 1 I explained what RSS is and how to use it, please read that if you need a refresher on why RSS is awesome and why you should be using it if you take reading news on the internet seriously. The prefix to Trimming in Public is “Becoming a better blogger, reader and

EU to require internet filtering? - (USA)
One of the most important recent developments at EU level - and one that's received surprisingly little media attention ( The Register aside) - is the proposal from the Commission to require member states to introduce internet filtering for child pornography. This requirement would be part of a wider Framework Decision on combating the sexual abuse, sexual exploitation of children and child pornography (PDF) and article 18 is the relevant provision: Blocking access to websites containing chi

Greg Notess on "Searching Conversations: Twitter, Facebook, & the Social Web" - (USA)
Greg Notess spoke at Computers in Libraries on "Searching Conversations: Twitter, Facebook, & the Social Web". We wanted us to realize that the various conversations we have online are searched in different ways. My notes are bit sketchy, but even so, I think you'll pick up some tips. Public vs. Private Conversations: Lines are blurring Fully public: on open web sites Semi-public communities - members only Mostly private - If no one else shares What is archives? And where?

Qtrax Licenses Universal Music Group International - (USA)
Although peer-to-peer networks are as legal as e-mail, much of their traffic involves the distribution of copyrighted music without protection. Qtrax has long sought permission to offer a peer-to-peer-style network by leveraging Usenet as a secondary back-end for its centralized music service. Until today, it had succeeded only in licensing the official catalogs of EMI and Universal Music Group for US users -- not including the "gray area" music that's available on file sharing networks.
