SeattleWireless
Dica do dpadua. E al�m de tudo o site dos caras � um wiki

Seattle Wireless is a not-for-profit project to develop a community broadband wireless network in Seattle. Our use of inexpensive wireless technology gets around the artificial bottlenecks imposed by the local Telco which prevent true, inexpensive, Metro Area Networking. We are using widely available, standards-based RF technology operating in license free frequency, to create a free, locally owned wireless backbone. This is a MetropolitanAreaNetwork (not just a "wireless LAN" in your home or business) and a community-owned, distributed system (NYASPTWYOMB - not yet another service provider to whom you owe monthly bills). The wireless technology used by the members of the Seattle Wireless network creates the first telecommunications infrastructure that is not only inexpensive, but widely available and easily used so that it is now truly possible for a network to grow from the grass roots of our community, based almost entirely on a wonderful combination of self interest and community spirit.

Cyberspace?s Legal Visionary
Lawrence Lessig na Reason Online. Dica do dpadua

I was giving a talk at the New America Foundation. Jack Valenti from the Motion Picture Association of America stood up and talked about how awful it was that Stanford allowed a Morpheus server to exist on its network, and what did I think of this obvious technology to enable stealing? I told him I had a Morpheus server running on my machine at work, which was delivering my own content, both audio and text versions of lectures I?ve given. When I first made this available, the Stanford network police came in and pulled the plug on my server over the weekend because they thought I was engaging in "illegal acts." But I wasn?t engaging in illegal acts. It?s completely legal for me to distribute content that I have the copyright over, and this technology makes it very easy to do that.

The idea that you would assume that all uses are illegal is an overreaction to what I think is a legitimate problem. I?m not in favor of copyright theft, I?m just opposed to shutting down all technologies merely because copyright theft may occur on them.

Web services, Weblogs and WiFi are the new WWW
Kevin Werbach, no Conversation Continues de 30 de Abril

At this year's PC Forum, WiFi and Weblogs came together to produce some of the most memorable moments of the conference. Esther described these events in "Parallel Channel," available at http://www.edventure.com/conversation/article.cfm?Counter=8648145. It's hard to imagine an executive technology conference now that doesn't offer a wireless back-channel.

The Conversation Continues

Re-assinei ontem o "The Conversation Continues", Newsletter do Release 1.0. Metaf�rico. Na assinatura, me enviaram a edi��o de 30 de Abril. Alguns trechos:

The old grassroots energy is coming back. Web services, Weblogs and WiFi are the new WWW.

Weblogs do for personal sites (which may also be commercial, as with pundits such as Andrew Sullivan and Micky Kaus) what content management did for corporate sites. They make it simple to add, modify and distribute content dynamically. This is why, despite the limitations of the available tools, Weblogs have taken off so dramatically among leading-edge users.
