the mass of sites, comments, blog links, etc. that crop around these issues are making me start to think that the old "people are stupid" argument is weakening.

bezos stole my idea(s)

Posted by on 29 Mar 2005 Go to original comments
but hey, I'm of the perspective that ideas are only actually useful when someone makes them into something that is useful. hence my distaste for patents, but my acceptance of copyrights.</p>

in any case, I've been turned onto the idea of podcasting, and I think it's awesome. while I do not have iPod (yet), I'll just pretend by 20+ lb. desktop system is "portable" enough to be called a podcast receiver.

so, since anyone could pretty easily decry my view that Web Services will take over the world, I'm glad I stumbled over to the best podcasting site, ITConversations, to hear Bezos re-affirm my suspicions.

in other news, Zawodny has my dream job, about which I'm sure there will someday be a reality TV show that I might utilize to usurp his lofty position. all in due time, however.</div>

PRWeb

the most important thing about this press release has nothing to do with web services or email validation at all. rather, it made me aware of my need to register on that PRWeb site, so that if/when we are able to make announcements pertaining to lamp5, we can announce them on that site and they will get picked up by various google alerts.</p>

will just have to ensure that our press releases contain the most common buzzwords used by our target audience.</div>

I had skepticism about the idea of Binary XML when I first heard about it. I decided to take the official position that I think it could be an advantageous standard, and that I'd be open to using it if and when it makes sense to do so, but that I would only do so if other methods were not applicable.</p>

besides looking like poster-children for some kind of Geeks Anonymous Club, these guys (or at least Joe) think that Binary XML is not only unnecessary, but that it causes problems. the same old cookie-cutter arguments against Binary come up - human readability is better, hardware will get faster, system-wide changes in how XML is handled. not only that, but these arguments and the entire article are so simplified, it seems obvious that someone was just missing a deadline?

so, if you want some good reporting on the Binary XML argument, look to other sources. I'm not saying that I could do much better, but at least I know if I can't, I can always link to someone who can.</div>
