Hey Ken,

Happy New Year, and nice comment. :^) Over here in Jaxland we are using an iMac G5 (with nary a hiccup, 'cept for the pickiness of the DVD-R drive when reading scratched audio CDs), and the old tank of a Powerbook G4 550 MHz. The paint is starting to come off it in little spots here and there (mostly around the magnetic latch), but otherwise it has been a trouper. The hard drive died back in mid-'04 during HEAVY use (read: near constant use by multiple people) during finals week. The humorous part was that the HD waited to die until that Friday night when finals were all done. Replaced with a Hitachi (yes, I know, evil blood sibling of IBM) 7K60, put a new battery in it (a few months earlier) and its been running smooth ever since. The new battery was made to give 1 GHz Powerbooks 4 hours of life, so it gave my 550 MHz up to 7 hours if I turned the screen brightness down! I have a strange feeling you already know all of this, but this is Slashdot and there are potentially a 900,000+ other readers reading this very post. :^)

Anyway, give me a call me sometime (Ken, not the rest of you 900k+ users! Heh), or look me up on MySpace sometime. :^)

Published Wednesday, December 14, 2005 by Jacob | Post to Del.icio.us

If you are an active Internet user and under the age of 25 (or 30), you probably fit in one of two categories; either [1] You have tried social networking, but didn't really get what the buzz was about, or [2] you get it, you dig it, and you sit for hours scouring, posting comments and photos, and clicking refresh obsessively.

Everyone has heard of Facebook. At almost 2 years old, it's growth is staggering.

Take a look at the Repeat Usage statistics, in particular and tell me that this isn't a craze bordering on obsession. 70 percent of users return on a daily basis to a site that really isn't all that dynamic. There are no blogs; just personal info, a place to post blurbs on users' "wall", and now pictures. With websites like Facebook and MySpace gaining an almost-disturbing amount of popularity, it seems that our desire for networking has trumped our sound-thinking, skepticism and desire for privacy.

I started thinking about this issue recently, and the question just keeps popping up: Why do we place so much trust in the creators of these websites? Since the emergence of "Web 2.0", it seems that with a simple "We're not evil, try our Beta" everyone is falling over themselves to shell out as much information as it takes.

Stop and think about Facebook for one minute. A 21-year-old Harvard student starts a networking site for college students, and now there are over 5 million users, many of which have probably never looked at the Privacy Policy. After all, Facebook is fun, so they freely post their name, address, school, concentration, political affiliation, friends, plans and even photos in which faces are linked to profiles. Comforted by the idea that this info isn't crawled by search engines, the fact remains that membership is only limited by the ownership of an ".edu" e-mail address (the Wall Street Journal expressed concerns about this, in fact).

What about the Privacy Policy? In the Help Section of Facebook it says, "Facebook respects your privacy. We don't distribute your user information to third parties" followed by "Read more about our Privacy Policy." Click the link and it says oh yeah, one more thing: we just might share your info, and it "may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies." This is a pretty typical policy, actually. It's in the section entitled "The Information We Collect" that it gets a little disconcerting.

When you visit the Web Site you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected by us and Web Site use information collected by us on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web Site.

It goes on to explain cookies, etc., but then ends with this vague third mode of data collection:

I'm not sure what that means, but I do remember something about AOL's updated terms of service.

I'm not usually big on conspiracy theories, but I point out Facebook's privacy policy to highlight some other interesting aspects of this company. It has been just a few months since Accel Partners anno

What's Really Killing Music... by vix9 · 2005-12-13 11:32 · Score: 1 · on Apple Holding Back the Music Business?

As a musician signed to an independent label, I can tell you what is killing music. It's easy, major labels just suck the life out of artists. Find a local band you like, and support the hell out of them. Most of them can be found on iTunes (through a deal with CDBaby), MySpace, or you can order CD's directly from their sites or at shows. Stick it to the labels by supporting indie artists who have the freedom to be more creative and artistic. Not to try to self pimp here, but check out http://www.myspace.com/soundside . Check out our stuff or the music of of the bands we're friends with. I guarantee you will find some music you want to listen to.

Myspace.com Makes, Breaks New Music Acts by BlueMoss · 2005-12-03 14:08 · Score: 1 · on The MySpace Generation

The music industry has been lapped, lassoed and tattoed by the internet. Payola and other barriers to entry for new bands are rapidly crumbling as listeners of CDs and radio shift to online music. Traditional business deals for bands have almost always left the musicians screwed without a kiss. Tours and T-shirts have been the major income streams for most successful groups.

Now social networks are superceding the music and broadcasting corporations for publicity and distribution. Bands need to be heard before they can be paid. And they need to perform to build a fan base.

Get the clues from Wired:

The Hit Factory Who needs major labels, marketing, or airplay? A social networking site is getting more hits than Google -- and turning invisible bands into mini entertainment networks. How MySpace became the MTV for the Net generation.

By Jeff Howe

The members of Hawthorne Heights have no business being rock stars. They play a strain of punk that has consigned innumerable bands to the obscurity of dive bars and pirate radio. For the past three decades, a devotion to this stripped-down, anticommercial music has meant never quitting your day job.

And yet here they are on a dusty summer day in Pomona, California, playing for thousands of adoring fans. Hawthorne Heights is a big draw at this year's Warped Tour, a movable punk feast featuring more than 300 bands on 48 North American stops. The kids in the audience - a multiracial mix of teens from across Southern California - appear transported, pushing toward the front of the stage where slam dancers crash against each other like pinballs. Those in the front rows chant the lyrics with red-faced intensity. They've memorized the entire set.

Hawthorne Heights is touring the country in a plush bus. The quintet's debut album, The Silence in Black and White, has sold more than 500,000 copies since its release last year, and the group has appeared on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live and been on MTV's TRL. The five young men from Dayton, Ohio, are living the rock-and-roll dream - but they took a highly unconventional path to get there. The band achieved its popularity without any real radio or TV airplay, a feat unheard-of a few years ago. They aren't signed to a major label, and they don't want to be. They don't need industrial-strength marketing campaigns or heavy rotation.

What they have is MySpace, a community Web site that converts electronic word of mouth into the hottest marketing strategy since the advent of MTV. Massively popular, MySpace is nominally a social networking site like Friendster, but nearly 400,000 of the site's roughly 30 million user pages belong to bands. The rest belong mostly to teens and twentysomethings who attend the groups' shows, download their songs, read their blogs, send them fan mail, and enthusiastically spread the word...MORE

I've been on MySpace for just about 2 weeks now, after first regarding the site as an jumble of crappy pages a few months ago, I've learned it can be a very unique and enjoyable place for the average computer user or guru both. A few notes:

The code is buggy as can be but primarily works after reloading the page a couple of times.

Great social networking factor. I've messaged friends I haven't talked to since high school and chatted with college friends whom I've already lost touch with.

For new bands this is really an invaluable resource for which to create a simple website that informs fans and create evangelists of your music.

Being a part time concert photographer I've already received orders for prints of my photography as well as met may others involved or wishing to be involved in the field. I've also made contacts with a number of bands and old friends involved in the music industry whom I've also been out of touch with.

Generation Labels by thexgodfather · 2005-12-03 11:32 · Score: 0 · on The MySpace Generation

It seems to me that the labeling of a generation has become very uncreative and is occurring much too frequently. The only appropriate generation label I can think of dates back to the baby boomers when after the troops returned from World War 2 there was a huge jump in the number of babies.

The next generation became labeled as generation X. Now according to wikipedia Generation List this is the generation I fall into, being born in 1979. The very name generation X gives a feeling of anonymity and utter lack of creativity. However I have not read Douglas Coupland's 1991 novel Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture.

The next generation label is Generation Y and is defined as people born in 1982 to 1991. After that there is generation Z and is given the age constraints of 2000+. Does anyone else see a trend of shortening generation gaps and lack of creativity and definition!

I assume the article naming the next generation as generation @ would be renaming the current generation Y. I am all for this because it gives a much clearer distinction and description of what this upcoming generation is! I would also like to propose shortening the age length of generation X and the baby boomer generation as well.

This is how I perceive the break down of generations
Baby Boomers 1943-1957
Generation X 1958-1973
Generation @ 1974-1998
Name Yet to be Defined 1999-?

I feel this would be a much more accurate depiction of the generation gaps and differences that occur. I also feel that it is unacceptable to label a generation when they are still pre-teen! Your teen years are the years you start to come into yourself and realize who you are.

Now to specifically focus on generation @ you must realize that myspace is not a phenomenon! There is also freindster and even before that findapix which was around before any of the current sites way back in 1999! With that said yes the computer is a ground breaking achievement of our time and the Internet has brought everyone together but alas we are still in the OIL age we have been since the invention of the car. Its time to change CHANGE CHANGE

The lack of change for a hundred years can directly be laid to blame on the current young generation. Look at our apatheiticness to the current political situation! Have we learned nothing from the radicals actions of our parents generation?? But I won't get into all that.

Though, these are the things that define a generation and are a result of their label. So I am going to actually take action for my generation and throw that horrible term Generation Y away! Join with me and cast off your shackles of oppression!

The disadvantages are that you have to change the filter every, like 3,000, "non flushes". The filters are expensive and I'm sure they're slightly wasteful. If you don't have a new one, the entire urinal stops working and lovely pee just accumulates inside the urinal. And that stinks.

What would be nice would be a hybrid - it's a no-water system until the filter, "craps" out, and then you have the regular way of doing things, as a backup.

Saying all that, it's proven to save us lots of water and keep our incredibly delicate plumbing working well.
