BlackBerry push framework now available to all developers - Engadget - 0 views

  •  
    It's been a year or so since RIM announced that push APIs had become available to its Alliance Program members, and now it looks like the rest of us are finally able to get in on the action (at least those of us who are BlackBerry devs). Starting today, access comes in two packages: either BlackBerry Push Essentials (the free version) or BlackBerry Push Plus with a number of tiers that reflect different options and price points. So, what are you waiting for? If it's good enough to implement in Weather Bug Elite it's good enough for your application, right? Hit the source link to get started.

Scan This Book! - New York Times - 0 views

  • At the same time, once digitized, books can be unraveled into single pages or be reduced further, into snippets of a page. These snippets will be remixed into reordered books and virtual bookshelves. Just as the music audience now juggles and reorders songs into new albums (or "playlists," as they are called in iTunes), the universal library will encourage the creation of virtual "bookshelves" — a collection of texts, some as short as a paragraph, others as long as entire books, that form a library shelf's worth of specialized information. And as with music playlists, once created, these "bookshelves" will be published and swapped in the public commons.

      This passage raises the concerns about retaining the integrity of books and other intellectual works. The reduction of an author's works into "snippets" that can be arranged at will by web users opens doors to taking the work out of context. Also, the author may find that most of their work is not presented in the fashion that they intended and that many people who would have otherwise read the entire work have simply relied on selected remixes of the texts.
  • We can provide all the works of humankind to all the people of the world.
  • When books are deeply linked, you'll be able to click on the title in any bibliography or any footnote and find the actual book referred to in the footnote.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • On this screen, now visible to one billion people on earth, the technology of search will transform isolated books into the universal library of all human knowledge.
  • The first was a new copyright law passed by Congress in 1976. According to the new law, creators no longer had to register or renew copyright; the simple act of creating something bestowed it with instant and automatic rights. By default, each new work was born under private ownership rather than in the public commons.
  • (This is to be expected. The fact is, entire industries and the fortunes of those working in them are threatened with demise. Newspapers and magazines, Hollywood, record labels, broadcasters and many hard-working and wonderful creative people in those fields have to change the model of how they earn money. Not all will make it.)

      It is certainly true that media and publishers will need to change their business model to accomodate the digital age. Even Kevin Kelly admits here that "not all will make it", and most won't if copyrights do not allow authors to have basic controll of how their content is accessed and distributed.
  • The major problem for large publishers is that they are not certain what they actually own. If you would like to amuse yourself, pick an out-of-print book from the library and try to determine who owns its copyright. It's not easy. There is no list of copyrighted works. The Library of Congress does not have a catalog. The publishers don't have an exhaustive list, not even of their own imprints (though they say they are working on it).
  • It is so good, in fact, that we can now state a new covenant: Copyrights must be counterbalanced by copyduties. In exchange for public protection of a work's copies (what we call copyright), a creator has an obligation to allow that work to be searched.
