It was announced this week that the complete Godfather trilogy is set for DVD release this fall. The 5-disc set includes all three movies with full audio commentary by director Francis Ford Coppola, and a huge suite of extras.
An offer I can’t refuse.
What if every Friday were a Microsoft-free day for the Web? You can use MSIE any day but Friday. To give something back to the Web, if you want to read my site you would have to use Mozilla, Opera, OmniWeb, Lynx — anything but Microsoft’s browser. One day a week.
Bravo!!! Also a prefect rebuttle to Zeldman’s upgrade to a 5.X or better browser to veiw this site.
Further, this morning we learned that there is no way for a webmaster to opt-out. A user can smart-tag all sites, rendering any (expensive) effort to opt-out of the defacement pointless.
Yet another reason to put the smack down on Microsoft.

If Microsoft wants to really contribute something useful in the spirte of SmartTags why not go with the Annotea project? It is a developing annotation standard by the W3C. Some tweak of this idea should be able to provide the same functionality in a way that site creators can opt in on and others participate in without having to bow to the wills of the evil empire.
Then again maybe I’m just too much a leftist commie for a world like that.

Gillmore has theory, Smart Tags a Surveillance Tool?

“Smart Tags”, Round Two, the slashdot discussion. Favorite comment
Tivo would get the hell sued out of them for this
The real question that so far no one has answered, what is the real Microsoft agenda with SmartTags? Somewhere in it all is a misdirect which is missing the real reason for the “feature” and allowing it to be leaked at this time. Kinda like all the recent “OpenSource is evil/cancerous/un-american” speak is really allowing Microsoft to set the agenda in the debate.

Howstuffworks had “How Gas Prices Work”, all for arcterex. Check out the gas prices adjusted for inflation, $2.59 in 1980 compared to the $1.66 in 2001.
