  3. That's not what Jobs said last month by bitpart · · Score: 1 · on Apple Switching To Intel Chips In 2006

    First, I'll believe this when I hear it from Apple.

    Second, at the D conference, Jobs had this to say in response to porting OS X to other platforms (the transcription was apparently written hastily):

    other platforms like XBOX? (((no laughs))).......... you mean like PCs, Intel......? we think we make the best hardware in the world......... generally the macosx customer likes good hardware............ we're sticking to our program right now ........

  4. revised, restated and summarized by iirving · · Score: 1 · on Folksonomies In Del.icio.us and Flickr
    Here's a revision of my original post (hopefully much improved) and a summary of the (on topic) discussion. Lots of discussion going on about 'folksonomies' - bottom-up taxonomies that people create on their own - as used in (recent web sites) Del.icio.us (http://de.licio.us/), a shared bookmarking web site referred to as "Delicious", and Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/), a photo sharing web site.

    Folksonomies (the first meme of 2005?) is attributed by Wikipedia to Thomas Vander Wa.

    Adam Mathes has a thesis on Folksonomies which examines user-generated metadata as implemented and applied in two web services - Del.icio.us and Flickr - designed to share and organize digital media to better understand grassroots classification.

    IFTF's Future Now makes a point about problems with folksonomies: no synonym control ( "mac" and "macintosh" on Del.icio.us); no hierarchy and content types; and only simple one-word tags. Are these features or bugs? Consensuss says 'feature'. Andrew Ducker has a suggestion for synonyms and a modest proposal

    Joho the Blog notices a discussion about what to call it in Mob indexing? Folk categorization? Social tagging?,
    John Battelle links into Taggle and "federated tagging".

    I wonder if a Google Suggest like system might reduce 'lazy tagging' ,and maybe synonym control when the federation appears.

    New: In Beyond Laser Tag and Telephone Tag, JC Francois wonders if "2005 will be the year of tagging".

    Will Folksonomies lead to the nirvana of the Semantic Web, or at least Semantic web light? (see : ftrain.com August 2009: How Google beat Amazon and Ebay to the Semantic Web)

    Tag, you're still it!"

  5. come off it. by dangermouse · · Score: 1 · on Besieged Movie Industry Suffers Record Takings
    Oh, you mean the way he's misappropriated Bradbury's title and is getting filthy stinking rich?

    He referenced Bradbury's title, and in so doing evoked the primary themes of Bradbury's book. There's absolutely nothing legally, morally, or ethically wrong with that. Bradbury's just bitching about it because he doesn't like Moore's politics, and so are you.

    The really obnoxious part is that Bradbury knows there's nothing wrong with the way Moore adapted his title.

  6. Re Michael Robertson / Lindows / MP3.com / CNET by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Interview with Jim Griffin
    Speaking of the Pho list, this was posted there yesterday:

    Has to do with Michael Robertson trying to "save" the indie music at MP3.com from being deleted by new MP3.com owner CNET.
