What One Actor or Actress Would You Clone?

This week I heard some people saying Robert Downey Jr. needs to be cloned so he can star in that Leonardo Da Vinci action movie, among other things. And yeah, that would be great since there are so many characters that he will just never have the time for, especially as long as he's got the Iron Man/Avengers and Sherlock Holmes franchises to keep him busy when he's not doing other work. The same can also be said for other consistently entertaining stars like Johnny Depp and Matt Damon, the latter of whom I even slightly hinted about being cloned in a Pitch post earlier this week. Then there are the hot actors du jour who are mentioned at least once -- sometimes twice -- a day in connection with some blockbuster or other. While I might not agree, I'm sure Hollywood execs currently wish they could clone Sam Worthington, Taylor Lautner and maybe Shia LaBeouf. As for actresses, both Angelina Jolie and Katherine Heigl get "attached" to a lot of projects, many of which they won't end up doing. If only it were still the Golden Age studio-contract era, when big stars would regularly do four or five starring gigs a year, minimum.

American Idol Recap: Oh, Hey America, Fuck You, You Are So Stupid

Spoiler alert for those of you on the west coast, I guess? To think, things were just starting to make sense. The judges seemed to be hearing pretty much the exact same things you were hearing, and last week, America managed to send home the four people who most deserved it. Things were looking good. People appeared to be nowhere near as dumb as you'd decided they were so long ago. And now this. [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]

Ad blockers: Are they harming the websites you love?

A while ago, I reviewed a program called AdBlock Plus, a popular Firefox add-on that nukes the annoying ads that get in the way when you’re browsing. It is super-effective, stripping ads from the screen and leaving only clean, white space in their place. As anyone who has ever spent more than 30 seconds on the internet knows, you’ll soon be assaulted by blinking, buzzing and flashing ads, my personal favorites being the ones that slide out and cover whatever it is you’re trying to read. I thought AdBlock Plus was really cool and gave it a great rating, but just the other day I read this article by Ars Technica which made me stop and think. Could blocking ads be hurting my favorite websites? Once you think about it, it’s obvious that websites that don’t charge for content have to make money some other way. One of these ways is advertising, and if we get rid of that advertising with an ad blocker, it can’t generate the revenue that maintains the website. As the article points out, some argue that they never click on ads anyway, so there’s no harm in getting rid of them. Well, the truth is that many large websites are paid by advertisers on a per view basis, not per click. Surely once you realize that, it changes everything. I wonder how many people will get rid of their AdBlock Plus after reading the Ars Technica article? There’s a problem here, and its the same one I see when people get into the illegal download debate. We have spent a long time taking full advantage of the internet and all the free and accessible stuff it offers, and old habits are hard to break. The internet broke into the mainstream more than 15 years ago, but back then content providers, vendors and producers didn’t think of the future and what would happen if they gave users (or allowed them to take) their products for free. Most users don’t think of the consequences unless we’re made to - downloading, watching and reading online are too ingrained. You turn on your computer and there it is. We expect to get lots of our content for free and see nothing wrong with sweeping ads aside in order to get it. Likewise, if users feel that advertising is too intrusive, for example, they don’t think twice about complaining. But think about it: it’s a bit like being invited around to somebody’s house for dinner and then complaining about the food. If content providers want people’s attitudes towards paying (however they do - or don’t- do it) for their content to change, it’s going to take a lot of effort. An internet-wide change would never work, so it is going to require the long, hard slog of educating users and appealing to their better nature. Do you think it will work?

What You Need To Know About The National Broadband Plan - A good first step, possibly made worthless without lobbying reform

Some 36 public workshops, 9 field hearings, and 31 public notices later, the FCC today finally unveiled their national broadband plan (pdf). There's 376 pages of dense policy to dig through, so it's going to take some time to completely digest the plan. Legal experts and policy wonks will be poring over this one for weeks, given the FCC recommends some fairly dense changes to telecom mainstays like the Universal Service Fund (USF). Also keep in mind that this plan is preliminary, and will heavily mutate as it runs the lobbyist and political gauntlet. That said, here's our high and low points: What's Promising About The Plan • At least it's a plan -- kind of: One good thing about our national broadband plan is that it is one. Almost. It's more like a pile of recommendations to Congress, or a plan for a plan. That may not sound like much, but for a country that has spent the last decade using bad data to proudly proclaim we didn't have any broadband issues to fix? It's a forward step. The plan punts to Congress on some of the tough issues, but it at least gives recommendations and establishes a framework. • The FCC wants 4 Mbps to be broadband's baseline: For years we've reported how the FCC used fairly paltry definitions of broadband (256 kbps downstream, recently updated to 768 kbps) so that our national success on this front looked good. The FCC's plan now calls for broadband to be defined as "4 Mbps of actual download speed and 1 Mbps of actual upload speed" (page 135). Page 19 tries to argue that 95% of us already have access to those speeds, which brings us to... • The agency makes collecting more hard data a priority: On page 38 of the plan, the FCC proclaims that "the dearth of consistent, comprehensive and detailed price data makes it difficult to evaluate price competition." While the FCC tries to do so anyway -- it's clear the agency's decade-long disdain for hard science has come home to roost, and impacted the agency's plan draft. The plan calls for a complete overhaul of FCC data collection and public presentation. This is the first of many FCC proposals where the devil will be in the details and the agency needs to stand up to major carriers to achieve the goal. • The plan pushes for broadband advertising improvements: While the plan's habit of citing transparency as a fix for competitive issues is disingenuous, the plan makes it clear the FCC would like to impose requirements that improve the accuracy of broadband advertising. The FCC is eager to eliminate the use of the dreaded "up to" speed descriptor, replacing it potentially with a "broadband nutritional label" (see FCC example, left and page 46 of the plan) that could potentially advertise both the maximum and average provisioned rate. • The plan finally begins revamping the Universal Service Fund: For years even the government's own General Accounting Office has complained that the Universal Service Fund was collecting billions in taxpayer dollars but the FCC wasn't doing a very good job managing the fund. While the plan's USF reform is a complicated tangle of policy revision, the primary goal is to refocus $16 billion in USF funds over the next ten years away from legacy voice service and toward broadband. By 2020, voice-only networks (assuming there are any) won't be eligible for USF funds. •The FCC wants wireless broadband to be a priority: The plan clearly pins a lot of hope on 4G wireless broadband services as a cornerstone of future competition, and Chapter 5 (starting on page 73) is entirely dedicated to spectrum. The plan's goal is to get 500 megahertz of spectrum into the hands of 4G providers, of which 300 megahertz (between 225 MHz and 3.7 GHz) is to be made newly available for mobile use within five years. There's an ocean of details involved in the FCC's agenda, and the devil will be in the end-game details and whether broadcasters want to give up some unused spectrum (hint: they don't). •The FCC wants more competition in the set top box market: The FCC is pretty clearly annoyed with the industry's (and their own) failure with CableCARDs and starting on page 49 explains how the agency is going to push hard to end proprietary conditional access systems "on or before" December 31, 2012. In other words: they want more consumer choice in broadband-powered set tops and home gateways that can access the Internet without carrier restrictions. Again, the devil will be in the details and whether TV operators want consumers to have access to their choice of completely open set tops (hint: they don't). What's Troubling About The Plan • USF reform could actually increase the cost of broadband and phone service: While the FCC repeatedly states their goal for the plan is to deliver "affordable" broadband to Americans by 2020, the proposals could actually raise your broadband costs. The plan imposes a new "Connections" fee as part of an overhaul of the USF that will be used for deploying broadband to under-served markets. While good for under-served markets, that means a higher bill for you. The plan annoyingly omits how much this fee could be, but once the details are hashed out, it could raise your monthly broadband bill from anywhere from $1 to $5 a month. In addition, the FCC recommends to Congress that they allow increases in the FCC subscriber line charge, which is money that goes right back to carriers. The plan is vague when it comes to hard numbers per subscriber here as well, but industry analyst Dave Burstein tells us his his initial analysis suggests the plan could actually wind up with American families paying $5-$10 more a month when it's all said and done. Yes, maybe this money goes back to the public, but given the FCC history on this front, maybe this money goes into AT&T's pocket. Of course also tied directly to high consumer prices is the fact that... • Again, the plan fails to tackle a lack of competition: On page 30 of the plan, the FCC proudly proclaims that the plan "contains more than 40 recommendations that directly spur competition," which makes the fact that the plan doesn't really address competition all the more obnoxious. These recommendations include such things as child safety, digital education efforts, and identity theft countermeasures. While all noble, they don't address the problem that large swath of U.S. markets suffer from high prices and slower speeds created by monopoly or duopoly markets. The agency's own study suggested that open access policies could be one possible solution to the nation's duopoly logjam. However, the agency has made it very clear they have no intention of upsetting incumbent carriers -- many of which not only wield incredibly influence over Congress, but have also been fused into our national security infrastructure. With absolutely no hyperbole intended, many of these carriers now wield far more legislative and legal power than the FCC itself. "The dearth of consistent, comprehensive and detailed price data makes it difficult to evaluate price competition." -FCC's National Broadband Plan• The plan is heavy on the showmanship: Many of the recommendations look good and are politically easy to accomplish -- but lack substance. As we've already noted, the agency's goal of bringing "affordable" 100 Mbps to 100 million U.S. homes sounds good and is getting played up by the press. But when you consider that cable broadband alone already passes 125 million homes -- the majority of which will be upgraded to faster DOCSIS 3.0 service within 5 years without FCC intervention -- this supposed "cornerstone" of the plan rings hollow. Did we mention "affordable" is left undefined? The agency also proclaims that they want to see broadband adoption improve from 65% to 90% by 2020, something that could happen organically whether the FCC is involved or not. A few million thrown at digital literacy campaigns is the supposed answer -- though several of these efforts involve using taxpayer dollars to fund cable industry advertising campaigns. There simply is a vast mountain of policy in this plan that is, for lack of a more scientific term, empty, feel-good crap, while issues like unethical billing practices go completely unaddressed. • The plan fails to disrupt the status quo: We've been covering this sector for a decade, and there is absolutely no limit to the number of think tanks, fake consumer groups, policy wonks and PR flacks employed by major carriers to help shape (and distort) public opinion, press coverage, and DC policy. Both before and after the plan's announcement these chorus of voices for hire were collectively, notably, uncritical. Why is that a problem? Any plan worth the 376 pages it's printed on should address competition, which could hurt revenues, which would anger the carriers, who would then fire up this "sound wall" of opinion for hire. Granted, some carriers may not like the various rulemaking processes that emerge from this initial plan, but by and large the plan itself (after two full read throughs) does absolutely nothing to rattle the duopoly status quo in the broadband sector, and carrier silence proves it. That indicates a lack of conviction, courage and vision by plan architect Blair Levin. It also indicates that politics and carrier loyalty drove the national broadband plan's structure as much as science. That doesn't mean that things can't be accomplished as we head into the real rulemaking battles to come, but... •The plan completely fails to address money in politics as a primary reason for our failures: The primary problems the plan faces actually aren't technical, given we're a nation packed with oodles of fiber, bright network engineers and significant wealth. The plan's primary obstacle is the influence the nation's wealthiest carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Comcast) have on the nation's political and legal infrastructure. We've seen an endless parade of well-intentioned sector reforms scuttled by carrier lobbyists. It remains unlikely that true change in the broadband (or any other sector, for that matter) can be implemented until the problem of undue corporate influence on policy has been addressed first. What Happens Now As we noted at the start, the FCC's new national broadband plan is more of a "plan of a plan," and implementation in the face of lobbyist pressure will be key. As plan architect Blair Levin stated this morning at the plan's introduction, the "plan is in beta, and always will be." The FCC has simply set the table for a significant number of policy discussions and rule making procedures, that may (or may not) end in substantive improvements in the sector. read comment(s)

"Lumber core" plywood - be sure you know what you're getting

I thought I’d try a new (to me) product I found at my local “good” lumberyard – “lumber core plywood” – to build a few utility-grade shop projects. It’s made of solid lumber pieces laminated with thin face veneers. The core pieces are tongue-and-groove joined along their edges, which you can see in the first picture (if you can’t make out the part in focus, look below and to the right at the piece in the clamps. You can see the contrast between a light and a dark piece). This seems great at first glance, but there’s a problem: only the pieces on the edges are the full length of the sheet. The interior pieces are of random lengths, and the ends are simply butted – there are even little gaps. See the second picture with a utility knife for scale. This edge is parallel to the long dimension of the sheet. The edge below it is the factory edge, which looks continuous and beautiful. This construction method SERIOUSLY compromises the bending strength. The piece in the second picture was going to be a shelf, but with those two gaps, which are typical, I have serious reservations about using it – in fact, I’m not going to. Since the core pieces are of random lengths, and are edge-jointed, the problem isn’t so bad on a wide piece (more continuity), but it gets worse as you rip it narrower. About the only suitable application I can see for this material is as big pieces subject to edge-to-edge compression, like sides for a base cabinet or a cabinet-style bench. There is one upside: it’s light, probably because it isn’t all soaked through with glue, like conventional plywood.

The Federal Trade Commission’s Identity Theft Protection Initiative: Things That Make You Go Hmmm!

By Denise Richardson The FTC’s Identity Theft Protection Initiative: Things That Make You Go Hmmm! Last week the FTC held a joint press conference with 35 State Attorneys General, commanding attention on their firm and unified stance on regulating the identity theft industry. Sounded good. But just like all too often, the substance and the intent differed from the reality. Was it more smoke and mirrors? You decide. The FTC press conference has resulted not only in a colossal media frenzy but in mass confusion over what services are and what are not deemed to be helpful to consumers. Who is really working toward helping us avoid identity theft and who is helping the thieves perpetuate it? I’d like to respond to some of the high (or low) points of the press conference here. Let’s just get one thing clear before we get going. LifeLock has paid me to speak at their free identity theft seminars as one of their many Certified Identity Theft Risk Management Specialists and has sponsored my efforts to educate the public about identity theft. So to be clear: I get paid to talk about identity theft -I do not get paid to promote LifeLock. Point #1 Data Security The FTC says, “The company’s data system was actually vulnerable enough that it could have been hacked,” and went on to say, “The company must also establish a security program which will be monitored by a third party for 20 years.” Now that is most definitely a loaded statement, one that can and should be said about any company or government agency out there. In fact, the government as managed to breach millions of people’s data over the years and continues to do so. In 2007, LifeLock became ISO 270001 certified, the highest rating there is for secure data management. How many other entities that store our data can say that? What about all the government agencies who have been responsible for data compromises and theft? We can only hope that the government will hold itself to the same standards the FTC requires of others. For instance, it turns out that during the same time frame in which the FTC is calling out LifeLock, various government agencies were having their own embarrassingly public problems with data security. According to Consumer Affairs, even two years after the theft of a laptop containing the personal data of 26.5 million veterans, Federal agencies were still “not fulfilling all of the mandates for protection of personal information.” And who filed that report? The Government Accountability Office. Talk about things that make you go hmmm. The GAO was commissioned to investigate 24 federal agencies to determine if they had implemented data security recommendations from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), including encrypting data on mobile devices such as laptop computers, developing policies for notifying individuals affected by data breaches, using multiple means to authenticate an individual's right to access information, and fulfilling directives on a “checklist” developed by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) for dealing with theft or loss of equipment containing sensitive data. Of the 24 agencies, only two—the Treasury Department and the Department of Transportation—met all of OMB’s requirements for protecting data. Twenty-two of the agencies had enacted policies for encrypting information on mobile devices, but only four had implemented use of the NIST data security checklist. The Associated Press reported that two agencies—the Small Business Administration and the National Science Foundation—had not met any of the requirements. Things that make you go Hmmm. Point #2 Deceptive advertising The FTC investigated LifeLock’s marketing, advertising and products for the period between March 2005 and April 2008, policies that LifeLock has long since changed. LifeLock’s services now include sophisticated technology that detects use of our personal information before damage is done. When they first ventured into a non-regulated industry to advertise their product at a time when nobody else was taking identity theft all that seriously, nobody understood there would be later confusion over the difference between the words prevent and protect. Here’s a perfect example offered by Dr. Will Marling, Director of the National Organization of Victims Advocates (NOVA): “As a matter of reason, I fail to see how one can accuse someone of saying [in deception] he will prevent something when his guarantee is to remedy to those who need it when it won't be prevented. Analogy: ‘I want to prevent you from falling out of the tree but will pay for your medical bills if you do.’ The word 'prevent' can create confusion. It isn't in the vocabulary anymore.” It’s disappointing that the FTC and those 35 Attorneys General haven't utilized their strong and united front to come down on predatory practices surrounding the mortgage servicing industry—or even the advertising practices of the millions of free credit report ads and deceptive mortgage servicing practices that include illegal foreclosures, loan modification run-arounds and lest we forget, those annoying singing pirates touting free credit reports –that aren’t. And while we’re on the subject, why is Experian allowed to advertise their for-profit products on annualcredireport.com (the legit site)? The ads have been a source of confusion to the public, yet they have not been pulled. No other ID theft protection product or service is allowed to advertise on that site. Why are they? Again, things that make you go hmmm. Point #3 The problem is identity theft. Can’t we all just get along? Denise Richardson can be reached at www.Givemebackmycredit.com

Start your own live internet radio station for free

I’m a wannabe radio star and I’ve already got a few podcasts under my belt. But for a long time I’ve been looking for a way to broadcast a live show over the internet. I lost patience trying to learn how to use Shoutcast and found uBroadcast to be too unstable. Last week I discovered Spreaker, an online application that lets you broadcast live radio for free. Within 10 minutes of signing up to the service I was on air, pumping out my favorite tunes and talking to the listeners. By sharing I managed to get about 50 live listeners too, who were impressed by the quality of the broadcast (if not, my presentation skills). So, here’s a quick guide to how to start your own internet radio station using Spreaker: 1. Visit Spreaker.com and click on the Go on air now link then complete the sign-up process. You’ll receive an account verification email, with a link which you need to click to activate the account. 2. This is the page where all your past and current shows will be displayed. Click Create a new show to do just that. 3. Now you should enter the details of your radio show. Give it a title and enter a description for the show. Then select the language you’re broadcasting in and choose a category from the drop-down menus. 4. In the Create a new episode menu, click on the Live option. Note, there are also options for creating a podcast or uploading an existing podcast to be broadcast. Give the episode a title and select the date and time you want to go on air, then enter the duration of the show. Now click Open the Dee Jay Console to start the fun. 5. Spreaker comes with its own library of songs, loops, jingles and soundtracks, based on what the community has uploaded. You can browse the library using the Explore, Search and Latest tabs. Click Play to preview the audio and then hit Add to add the ones you like to your playlist. 6. You can also use your own songs and other audio, via the Upload tab. Again, make sure you hit the Add button to insert the tracks into your playlist. 7. Hit Close when you’ve added all your audio. You can go back to add more tracks and jingles during the broadcast if you need to. Spreaker also features a range of fun sound effects that you can play at any time during your broadcast. Add these to the Sound FX playlist using the Add button next to this window, which appears in the bottom-right of the interface. 8. Now you’re ready to start broadcasting. The main DJ console consists of three faders - one for the mic, and two for audio files, which you can drag in from the Playlist. You can use the Monitor buttons to isolate the audio on a particular track. Don’t forget about the sound effects, which can be played with a single click on the name. As soon as your time slot rolls around, the On Air button will light up and you’re off! Remember to share your broadcast with your Facebook friends using the option at the bottom of the screen. Your show will also be publically available from the Spreaker.com home page.
