The Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter For Wednesday, April 28, 2004 PT1
*****eBooks Readable By Both Humans and Computers Since July 4, 1971******
This Newsletter is being completed and sent from our backup locations
as beryl.ils.unc.edu is down. Thus the numbers are probably a little
lower than they should be, as the listings of the new eBooks are sent
through a beryl listserver. Before beryl went down, we were up to a
weekly total of 84 new eBooks, so I am going with 85, as below, and I
will do my best to make sure we properly reconcile next week's number
with this. Apologies for any confusion this causes. The rest of the
Newsletter should be up to date, as I retrieved Newsscan and Edupage
articles from our backup email sites.
*Newsletter editors needed! Please email hart@pobox.com or gbnewby@pglaf.org*

do another portion, there will be only 2 parts. . .this is Part 1,

Project Gutenberg Needs DVD Burners
So far we have sent out 2.5 million eBooks via snailmail!
We currently have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have
a DVD burner or know someone with one, please email Aaron:
cannona@fireantproductions.com
We can set you up with images or snail you these DVDs
for you to copy. You can either snail them to readers
whose addresses we can send you, or you can do a stack
of the these and send the whole box back for reshipping
to individual addresses.
We can also send you blank discs in quantities of 50-100
an *perhaps* also provide envelopes, sleeves, etc.
We also have many volunteers who only have time to do one
DVD per day and mail it out. These are greatly appreciated.
There is no need to do a lot per person if we have a lot of
people working on this.

Project Gutenberg's CEO, Greg Newby <gbnewby AT pglaf.org> ,

*** Progress Report
In the first 3.75 months of this year, we produced 1579 new eBooks.
It took us from July 1971 to Jan 1999 to produce our first 1,579 eBooks!
That's 16 WEEKS as Compared to ~28 Years!

We're still keeping up with Moore's Law!
I think the figures below are slightly high,
since we did EXACTLY 1,000 eBooks by the 3rd
week in April last year, and this year 1579.
This is just about exactly 100% Moore's Law.
Moore's Law 12 month percentage = 104%
Moore's Law 18 month percentage = 101%
[100% of Moore's Law = doubling every 18 months]
Check out our website at gutenberg.net, and see below to learn how
you can get INSTANT access to our eBooks via FTP servers even before
the new eBooks listed below appear in our catalog.
eBooks are posted throughout the week. You can even get daily lists.

*** Continuing Requests For Assistance:
Project Gutenberg--Canada will be starting up soon.
Please let us know if you would like to volunteer!
Copyright in Canada is "Life +50" as in Australia,
and we have volunteers working on both of these.
We will also be seeking volunteers from others of
the "life +50" countries, as it looks as if the
Australian copyright law is falling victim to the
new "Economic Warfare" being waged by the World
Intellectual Property Organization and various
billionaire copyright holders around the world.

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net
for more information about how you can help a lot, by
simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online,
visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned). Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a you project you would like to work on.

*** Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 16 weeks of this year, we have produced 1579 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1997 to produce our FIRST 1579 eBooks!!!
That's 16 WEEKS as Compared to ~28 YEARS!!!
With 12,486 eBooks online as of April 28, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.80 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.29 when we had 7666 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine ~12,500 books each costing ~$.49 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~12,500 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 12,486 eBooks in 32 Years and 9.75 Months We Averaged
380 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
31.7 Per Month
1.04 Per Day
At 1579 eBooks Done In The 112 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
14 Per Day
99 Per Week
421 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 7th was
the first Wednesday of 2004, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2003 and began the production year of 2004 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

SONY E-BOOK GETS RAVE REVIEWS
Sony's Librii electronic reader is as easy on the eyes as the paper version,
says New York Times reviewer Todd Zaun. The Librii screen is a collaborative
effort between Philips Electronics and E Ink, and the letters appear
"as sharp and clear as those on a printed page. The screen can be
read from almost any angle, and it does not fade in bright light,"
says Zaun. Sony plans to begin selling the Librii in Japan next month
for about $380, and buyers will be able to download e-books for less than
$5 each from a Web site set up by Sony and a group of Japanese publishers.
Sony plans to see how its Japanese market develops before it decides whether
to expand to the U.S. and Europe. (New York Times 22 Apr 2004)

LINDOWS SET FOR IPO
Lindows Inc. has filed for a so-called Dutch-auction-style initial
public offering in an effort to raise up to $57.5 million. In a
Dutch-auction IPO, investors bid on shares and help set the offering price.
Lindows, which markets a version of Linux software for personal computers,
was founded by Michael L. Robertson, the entrepreneur who also founded
MP3.com. Lindows has locked horns with Microsoft, which has filed lawsuits
alleging that the Lindows name violates Microsoft trademarks on the Windows
operating system. In response, Lindows changed the name of its software to
Linspire last week. (Wall Street Journal 21 Apr 2004)

AUSTRALIAN BANKS LOOK AT LINUX SWITCH
Linux and open-source software have a big future - at Microsoft's
expense - in at least two of Australia's four big banks. Westpac and the
National Australia Bank are seriously considering open source, and the ANZ
Bank has yet to show its cards. Meanwhile, the Commonwealth Bank has
decided to stick with Microsoft products. Westpac and NAB are evaluating
Linux on the desktop, as well as open-source alternatives for their
back-end IT operations. That could lead to pockets of desktops running
open-source software, perhaps in ATM or teller environments and many
back-end systems, including internet-banking platforms running on Linux.

INDIA IMPLEMENTS E-VOTING
For decades, millions of illiterate Indians voted by pressing their
thumbprints on ballot cards. This year, they'll just press a button --
and so will everyone else. India's general elections, which began Tuesday,
are set to make the world's largest democracy also the world's largest user
of computerized voting machines. This year, in a staggered vote that runs
through May 10, India's 660 million registered voters will be able to
exercise their franchise on one of approximately 1 million computerized
voting machines in an electronic, ballot-less election. The change in India
is having a deep impact on politics. Supporters say it's also good for the
environment in a country trying to save its vanishing forests. More than
8,000 tons of paper, made from approximately 16 million trees, has been used
to print ballots for past federal elections. (The Australian 22 Apr 2004)

MD. GROUP DEMANDS PAPER BACKUP FOR E-VOTES
A voter advocacy group in Maryland is suing that state's Board of
Elections to prevent the use of touch-screen voting machines until a paper
record is installed as auditable backup for the system. At present, the
state's Diebold voting machines are not set up to produce a paper record of
each individual vote. Linda H. Lamone, the state elections administrator,
says that paper records are unnecessary because the Diebold system is
equipped to preserve votes in its memory: "It's stored in two different
locations. If we have battery failure, it still doesn't lose votes." She
also said: "It's going to be next to impossible for anyone to gain access to
manipulate the election. If anyone tries it, we're going to put them in
jail." (Washington Post 22 Apr 2004)

California's Voting Systems and Procedures Panel has recommended

election in March and caused many voters in San Diego County to be
turned away. (AP/USA Today 22 Apr 2004)

SEX.COM SAGA CONCLUDES
The lengthy legal battle over the rightful ownership of the "sex.com"
domain name has come to a conclusion with VeriSign's agreement to settle
for terms that are rumored to be around $10 million. "This shows that the
small guy can eventually beat a huge company. Hopefully, this leads to
better care, custody and control over people's intellectual property," says
Gary Kremen, who originally registered the name but found in 1995 that
Network Solutions had turned the rights over to convicted forger Stephen
Michael Cohen, who duped the Internet registrar into believing he had
purchased it from Kremen. A federal court in 2001 ordered Cohen to pay
Kremen $65 million, but Cohen skipped the country and is rumored to be
living in Monte Carlo. Kremen then set his sights on VeriSign, which had
purchased Network Solutions in 2000 and refused to admit any mistake had
been made. The company is embroiled in nine other lawsuits over problems
with domain-name registrations, according to the company's most recent
annual filing with the SEC. (Los Angeles Times 21 Apr 2004)

FINGERPRINT TECHNOLOGY IN OHIO SCHOOLS
The Akron, Ohio school district has begun using a $700,000 "iMeal"
program that identifies students in school lunch lines using their
fingerprints. Students whose parents don't want them fingerprinted can
instead be issued a PIN number to participate in the school lunch program.
The coordinator of Akron's Child Nutrition Services says, "It's a parental
and student choice what to do. We don't encourage or discourage either
option." Whether students use fingerprints or PIN numbers, they'll be able
to pay as they go through the lunch line or draw from a prepaid account.

WANT ATTENTION? DRIVE THROUGH MANALAPAN, FLORIDA
Manalapan, Florida, where two out of every three homes are worth more
than $500,000, will soon be running background checks on every car and
driver that passes through town. Cameras will take infrared photos recording
a car's tag number, and computer software will automatically run the numbers
through law enforcement databases; police will also have a picture of the
driver, taken with another set of cameras. A Manalapan police official says,
"Courts have ruled that in a public area, you have no expectation of
privacy." In any event, the official makes a point of saying that the data
collected this way will be destroyed every three months.

COMCAST WALKS AWAY FROM THE TABLE
Withdrawing his company's unsolicited bid to take over the Walt Disney
Company, Comcast president and CEO Brian L. Roberts explains: "We have always
been disciplined in our approach to acquisitions. Being disciplined means
knowing when it is time to walk away. That time is now. It has become clear
that there is no interest on the part of Disney's management and Board in
putting Comcast and Disney together. As a result, we have withdrawn our offer."

MICROSOFT EXTENDS CONCESSIONS
In a surprise announcement, Microsoft said it will allow competing
software companies to license its technology beyond the term required
by Microsoft's antitrust settlement with the government. One of the
major requirements of the settlement was that Microsoft allow
competitors access to its technology so that those other firms could
develop software that would work properly with the Windows operating
system, thereby spurring competition in the software market. Only 14
companies, however, have bought licenses to use Microsoft technology in
developing their own applications. Responding to comments from the
judge in the case that the settlement has not shown the results
anticipated, Microsoft said it will continue the licensing program
until November 2009, two years longer than the settlement requires.
Microsoft also said it will allow access to some portions of its
next-generation operating system, known as Longhorn.

More Headline News Mostly Avoided By The Major U.S. Media
COLLEGE TUITION OUTSTRIPPING INFLATION 10 TIMES OVER
As per a radio news program this morning, one of our regional colleges
is raising tuition today by 16% for incoming students, and 7.5% for
continuing students.
At 16%, this is 10 times the U.S. Inflation rate of 1.6% (2002)
Source: 2003 CIA World Factbook
It will only take 5 more 16% tuition hikes to double tuition.
We've already had several such tuition hikes reported.

CHINESE PUSHING FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS GRID
The Chinese government has decided to postpone indefinitely a plan
that would have imposed its own standard for wireless technology.
[This allows for the export of U.S. wireless technologies.]
Evans said of the Chinese decision: "It is certainly a landmark day --
a fruitful day in the relationship between the United States and China.
Our exports to China are growing faster than exports to any other country
in the world."
The headlines were misleading in the original:

[I'm still working on more information for you on this subject]
[Yes, there is more this week]
I've been researching and reporting on "Stereolithography" or 3-D
printing for about 10 years, and still have very little in the way
of press coverage of a pretty exciting computer application. . .
"printing" actual 3-D objects from your computer.
[Here'e The Latest On The 3-D Computer Age, And, Again, Note They
Don't Mention How These 3-D Parts Actually Get Into The Real World]
3D SEARCHING
Researchers have developed new search engines that can mine catalogs of
three-dimensional objects such as airplane parts or architectural features.
For example, Purdue University professor Karthik Ramani created a system
that can find computer-designed industrial parts, and Caterpillar Inc.
engineer Rick Jeff says of Ramani's technology: "If you've got to design a
new elbow for an oil line, more often than not, we have a plethora of
elbows"; Jeff says the problem has been that each has to be examined
separately -- a tedious task "that isn't even performed that often, because
it isn't feasible or practical... It seems like there's ever-greater demands
for speed in product development, and it's those kinds of breakthroughs that
are needed to keep up. This would really just add to the efficiency."
Professor Ramani says happily: "I think this is the beginning of the
information age." (AP/San Jose Mercury News 16 Apr 2004)

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria). And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language
at the above link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the world,
and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on the search
results page. To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest
to you, visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)

Last, but hopefully not least <g>:
Additional information, clarification, edification from various of our
Production Team members on a couple of today's postings:
#12095: More Bywords, by Charlotte M. Yonge
For those wishing to know: it's a collection of odds and ends by Charlotte.
There's a few short stories that never got made into novels, a few poems and a
play.
#12058: Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa Bk. 4, by Kisari Mohan Ganguli
From the DP Project Note: This is the 4th book of 18 in this massive work. It
is a national epic, produced by countless hands over many centuries;
"Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa" is its legendary, superhuman author, as Moses is
regarded as the author of the Torah. Ganguli is (only) its 19th century
translator.
Tagline:
"I know" is just "I Believe" with delusions of grandeur.

*** Continuing Requests For Assistance:
Project Gutenberg--Canada will be starting up soon.
Please let us know if you would like to volunteer!
Copyright in Canada is "Life +50" as in Australia,
and we have volunteers working on both of these.
We will also be seeking volunteers from others of
the "life +50" countries, as it looks as if the
Australian copyright law is falling victim to the
new "Economic Warfare" being waged by the World
Intellectual Property Organization and various
billionaire copyright holders around the world.

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net
for more information about how you can help a lot, by
simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online,
visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned). Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a you project you would like to work on.

*** Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 15 weeks of this year, we have produced 1494 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1997 to produce our FIRST 1494 eBooks!!!
That's 15 WEEKS as Compared to ~27 YEARS!!!
With 12,406 eBooks online as of April 21, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.81 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.30 when we had 7666 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 12,000 books each costing ~$.48 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 12,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 12,401 eBooks in 32 Years and 9.50 Months We Averaged
378 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
31.5 Per Month
1.04 Per Day
At 1494 eBooks Done In The 105 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
14 Per Day
100 Per Week
428 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 7th was
the first Wednesday of 2004, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2003 and began the production year of 2004 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

BERNERS-LEE WINS $1M TECHNOLOGY PRIZE
Tim Berners-Lee, the scientist credited with inventing the World Wide Web
back in the early 1990s, has been awarded the first Millennium Technology
Prize by the Finnish Technology Award Foundation, an independent fund
supported by the Finnish government and a number of Finnish companies
and organizations. The $1 million prize is among the largest of its kind,
and the prize committee noted that Berners-Lee's decision not to
commercialize or patent the technology for personal gain embodies
the spirit of the award. (AP 15 Apr 2004)

APPLE COMPUTER: THE MUSIC COMPANY
Apple's profits nearly tripled in its second quarter, largely because
of continued strong sales of the iPod portable music player. Apple chief
executive Steve Jobs said, "We feel great. We sold a lot of Macs, but we've
sold more iPods in the quarter than all the Macs put together." But Apple is
resisting a proposal from RealNetworks suggesting the two companies form a
tactical alliance in the digital music business. Industry analyst Richard
Doherty of Envisioneering says: "Real understands how incredibly powerful
the Microsoft music initiative will be. I don't think that Jobs understands
this. He doesn't realize how big the juggernaut is about to get." And
RealNetworks chief executive Rob Glazer is stunned to find Steve Jobs so
adamant about keeping Apple systems proprietary: "Why is Steve afraid of
opening up the iPod? Steve is showing a high level of fear that I don't
understand." (New York Times 15 Apr 2004) http://tinyurl.com/3ch8y &

[Don't Let Them Confuse You With Statistics!
This is 40% of the 75% of the US that has an Internet connection at all.
Luckily 75% = 3/4. . .so it's easy to see that it is really only 30%.]
[More details below, and another article in the Edupage section]
BROADBAND GAINING BROADER APPEAL
About 40% of U.S. Internet users now have broadband connections at home,
with cable modems accounting for 54% of those and 42% connecting
through DSL. Those numbers -- part of a new report by the Pew Internet and
American Life Project -- represent a sharp surge in broadband penetration,
which was pegged at only 28% a year ago. And among those opting for
high-speed connections, DSL has made significant inroads from last May,
when only a third of broadband subscribers chose the telephony-based
service. That change is attributable to lower rates now charged by
telephone companies for DSL service, with SBC dropping its price to $27 a
month and Verizon to $35, according to Dave Burstein, editor of a DSL
newsletter. Pew senior research specialist John Horrigan says the increase
in broadband connections reflects Americans' rising frustration with slower

GROWTH IN RESIDENTIAL BROADBAND LEVELING OFF
The percentage of experienced Internet users who said they wish to upgrade
from dialup to broadband connections declined this year -- 43% compared to
53% last year -- in a development that signals the stabilization of the
residential broadband market. Pew Internet and American Life Project
director Lee Rainie said of the study's results: "The overall Internet
population has stopped growing in the United States. If there is no net
growth, you eventually run out of veteran users who have spent a couple of
years in dialup mode and want to move to broadband." The study also found a
slight shift among broadband users toward favoring cable modem connections.
In March, 67% connected via cable, compared with 63% a year earlier. In
contrast, 28% reported connecting via DSL, down from 34% the year before.
Although the percentage of DSL users dropped, overall growth is still up --
9 million users in March, up from 7 million. That compares with 21 million
cable modem users. Almost a third of Internet users now have broadband
connections -- up from 21% last March. (AP 19 May 2003)

ON THE INTERNET, SOME CHOOSE THE SLOW LANE
Is a higher Internet transmission speed worth what it costs? Many say no,
and concur with the feelings of an Internet user who says: "I resent it.
I don't do gaming. I don't download a lot of graphics. For the money I
would spend, I don't need it." Alex Pope, a retired attorney, explains that
to pass the time while he's downloading data over his slow connection:
"I bring a newspaper and sit and read," and Internet user Danielle Kolko
admits: "I have friends who are high-tech computer engineers who are
horrified by the fact I have dial-up. I just tell them I'm more patient
than they are." The Yankee Group, a research and consulting company,
says that the highest penetration of broadband access is among
upper-middle-class households -- a finding suggesting that price
remains a large factor in decisions to get high-speed connections.

DENMARK BEST IN WORLD FOR E-COMMERCE, U.S. RANKS SIXTH
Denmark is the most conducive country in the world for e-commerce,
with the U.K. ranking second, followed by Sweden, Norway and Finland. The
U.S. ranked sixth -- down from third in 2003, according to a report by the
Economist Intelligence Unit. The company rated things like demand for
mobile phones and faster Internet connections, as well as access to cheap
and easy-to-use products and software. Another vital component in the
future of e-commerce development is the role of governments, and [the] EIU
suggests further cooperation between local governments, the information and
communications industries, and businesses -- something that's already
happening in the Nordic countries. EIU points out that the role of
government can be particularly important in so-called developing countries
where infrastructure is lacking. It points to India, South Africa and
Bulgaria as examples of countries that have managed to develop "niche"
industries in software development and services outsourced from the U.S.

PAPER DVDS PROMISE INCREASED CAPACITY, SECURITY
Sony and Japanese company Toppan have developed a DVD made largely from
paper that can store five times as much as current DVDs. The paper
discs use blue-laser technology, which is being developed by
electronics manufacturers including Sony, Philips, Hitachi, and
Samsung. Compared to the red-laser technology on which today's DVDs
are based, the blue-laser format allows capacities of about 25
gigabytes per disc. Current DVDs have a limit of 4.7 gigabytes.
Because the new discs are made primarily of paper, they can easily be cut
with scissors, offering a simple and reliable way to dispose of the discs
and to destroy the data on them. Paper discs will reportedly be less
expensive to produce than current DVDs, though Sony and Toppan did not
say when the new DVDs would be available to consumers.

AMAZON JOINS SEARCH ENGINE FRAY
Amazon is quietly revving up its new search engine, A9.com, as it
prepares to take on the likes of Google and Yahoo in the red-hot search
engine market. A9 -- still in the testing stage -- touts features geared
toward e-commerce that allow users to sift through search results, store
and view their search history, and locate books on Amazon related to query
terms. "We want to enhance the customer e-commerce search experience, so
we're using this beta iteration to gain firsthand commentary from our
users," says an A9 spokeswoman. A9 uses a combination of Google and
Amazon-owned technology, and some Google-sponsored ad listings are
displayed along with the results. Users can also search directly from a
browser's URL box by typing a9.com/query -- for example, www.a9.com/harry
potter. The service is available to current Amazon customers and others
who register with the site. (CNet News.com 14 Apr 2004)

IN INDIA, INFOSYS CELEBRATES BEGINNING OF "NEW JOURNEY"
Infosys Technologies, the Indian software services giant that does a
great deal of work outsourced by U.S. companies, has for the first time
posted more than $1 billion in annual sales, making it possible for chief
executive Nandan M. Nilekani to boast: "Today, we have the required size,
brand, compelling value proposition and ambition to build the
next-generation software, services and consulting company." The company,
which was founded in 1981 by seven entrepreneurs on an initial investment
of $250, specializes in performing data entry, programming and customer
technical support. Company chairman N. R. Narayana Murthy believes that
the $1 billion revenue milestone is the "beginning of a new journey."

A GO-SLOW APPROACH TO SPYWARE LEGISLATION
Spyware (the generic term for software that is surreptitiously
downloaded onto PCs when users are engaged in some activity such as instant
messaging or surfing for music or games) comes in two major varieties: the
relatively innocuous "adware" that places advertisements on people's
computers, and the more insidious kind that capture user keystrokes in order
to steal passwords or other private information. The Internet security firm
McAfee says the number of "potentially unwanted programs" on its customers'
computers grew from 643,000 in September 2003 to more than 2.5 million in
March. Still, Commissioner Mozelle Thompson, a member of the Federal Trade
Commission, warns against trying to solve the problem with hurried and
ill-conceived legislation: "There are some kinds of practices that we may
consider unfair or deceptive that we already have existing power to pursue."
His alternate solution is for technology companies to develop standards for
downloads that would distinguish them from spyware. Marc Rotenberg of the
Electronic Privacy Information Center scoffs: "To expect that market-based
solutions are going to protect the consumers, I think, is to misunderstand
the problem." (Washington Post 19 Apr 2004)

TV NEWS WHEN YOU WANT IT: IN THE MORNING
Researchers at Ball State University's Center for Media Design have found
that more TV viewers are tuning into early morning newscasts (6 to 10 a.m.)
-- a major shift in America's viewing habits. Ball State telecommunications
professor Robert Papper says: "Because of the introduction of new
technologies and cable television, consumers are taking control.
They are telling us that we'll consume the news when we want and
the shows or networks we want to watch.' If they want to watch the weather,
they can tune into the Weather Channel at any time of the day. Why should
they wait for the local news if a cable channel has it when they want to
watch?"

AMAZON ENTERS THE SEARCH FRAY
Amazon.com has thrown its hat into the online search ring with a new
service called A9. Search results on A9 are provided by search-engine
leader Google, which also provides paid-search advertisements. Users of
A9 can also use Amazon's "Search Inside the Book" service, launched
last fall, which lets users view selected portions of books online. A
Google spokesman said, "Amazon's strategy ... with the technology" was
not immediately clear but said that Amazon is a valued partner of the
search firm. John Battelle, publisher of Searchblog, however, sees
Amazon's new service as a threat to Google. Comparing how Google
usurped Yahoo as the leading search provider, Battelle said the Amazon
service takes the best of Google and makes it better.

[40% of What???]
HOME BROADBAND REACHES 40 PERCENT
Broadband penetration in U.S. homes has reached 40 percent, according
to new data released by the Pew Internet and American Life Project.
Contrary to predictions a year ago by the Pew project that the number
of broadband subscribers had reached a plateau, providers of broadband
have found significant numbers of new customers and customers willing
to upgrade from dial-up to high-speed service. Many of the new
broadband customers are taking advantage of lower prices, especially
for DSL compared to high-speed cable service, though relatively few
cited cost as the reason for switching. John Horrigan, senior research
specialist at Pew, said consumers are pushed toward high-speed
connections as they spend more time online, involved in a growing list
of online activities. Even if broadband costs more, consumers
understand that faster connections will allow them to waste less time
and save money in the long run.

Among other points, they argue that:
* Granting too many privileges to broadcasters through the treaty may
lead to under-use of the very broadcasts the privileges are supposed
to promote.
* The proposal to extend broadcast ownership privileges to 50 years is
not justifiable for broadcasters to recoup their investment.
Their full report is available in HTML and PDF formats.
As far as the term of protection is concerned, the proposals advocate
a 50-year duration, when the existing international treaties protect

Researchers have developed new search engines that can mine catalogs of
three-dimensional objects such as airplane parts or architectural features.
For example, Purdue University professor Karthik Ramani created a system
that can find computer-designed industrial parts, and Caterpillar Inc.
engineer Rick Jeff says of Ramani's technology: "If you've got to design a
new elbow for an oil line, more often than not, we have a plethora of
elbows"; Jeff says the problem has been that each has to be examined
separately -- a tedious task "that isn't even performed that often, because
it isn't feasible or practical... It seems like there's ever-greater demands
for speed in product development, and it's those kinds of breakthroughs that
are needed to keep up. This would really just add to the efficiency."
Professor Ramani says happily: "I think this is the beginning of the
information age." (AP/San Jose Mercury News 16 Apr 2004)

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria). And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language
at the above link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the world,
and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on the search
results page. To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest
to you, visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)

Last, but (hopefully) not least <g>:
Additional information, clarification, edification from various of our
Production Team members on a couple of today's postings:
#12000: A Walk from London to John O'Groat's, by Elihu Burritt
For those wishing to know: Elihu Burritt was an American who visited
England in 1863 and walked from London to John O'Groat's (at the top of
Scotland). He recorded what he saw, his thoughts and conversations with
the people he met.
#11951-6: A Popular History of France From The Earliest Times
This is a six volume project of over 4000 pages of fascinating history with
400 fine steel engravings and woodcuts. Each volume is very large. . .
#11947: On the Edge of the War Zone, by Mildred Aldrich
This book is the second in the series of war-time books of edited letters by
the author to her friend Gertrude Stein. The first book, 'A Hilltop on the
Marne' has already been posted to PG as #11011.
And from eBook posting #11963, Punch Vol. 156, above:
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away," quotes a weekly paper. We only hope
this is true, for it is impossible to afford both.

for you to copy. You can either snail them to readers
whose addresses we can send you, or you can do a stack
of the these and send the whole box back for reshipping
to individual addresses.
We can also send you blank discs in quantities of 50-100
an *perhaps* also provide envelopes, sleeves, etc.
We also have many volunteers who only have time to do one
DVD per day and mail it out. These are greatly appreciated.
There is no need to do a lot per person if we have a lot of
people working on this.

*** Continuing Requests For Assistance:
Project Gutenberg--Canada will be starting up soon.
Please let us know if you would like to volunteer!
Copyright in Canada is "Life +50" as in Australia,
and we have volunteers working on both of these.
We will also be seeking volunteers from others of
the "life +50" countries, as it looks as if the
Australian copyright law is falling victim to the
new "Economic Warfare" being waged by the World
Intellectual Property Organization and various
billionaire copyright holders around the world.

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net
for more information about how you can help a lot, by
simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online,
visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned). Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a you project you would like to work on.

*** Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 14 weeks of this year, we have produced 1419 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1997 to produce our FIRST 1419 eBooks!!!
That's 12 WEEKS as Compared to ~27 YEARS!!!
With 12,326 eBooks online as of April 14, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.81 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.31 when we had 7611 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 12,000 books each costing $.50 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 12,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 12,326 eBooks in 32 Years and 9.25 Months We Averaged
373 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
31.1 Per Month
1.02 Per Day
At 1419 eBooks Done In The 091 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
14.6 Per Day
102.3 Per Week
443.3 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 7th was
the first Wednesday of 2004, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2003 and began the production year of 2004 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
>From Newsscan:
PROJECT AVALANCHE COULD SNOWBALL
Project Avalanche is putting a new spin on the coop concept -- rather
than sharing health foods or vacation condos, members share intellectual
property. For $30,000 a year, companies may donate any in-house software to
the Avalanche library and may use, free of charge, any other software in
the library's collection. While the project's still in its fledgling stage,
several big names have lined up as sponsors, including Best Buy, Cargill
and Medtronic. One of the first donations came from Best Buy, which
contributed its AppTalk software -- a piece of so-called plumbing software
that enables programs to communicate with each other. Avalanche founders
Andrew Black and Scott Lien have big plans for their high-tech coop, aimed
primarily at saving members the aggravation of paying thousands or even
millions of dollars to companies like Siebel Systems and Microsoft, whose
bread-and-butter revenue is generated through custom software applications
and licensing arrangements. Black and Lien reason that by harnessing the
combined talent pool of member companies, they will be able to come up with
superior generic products that could benefit all members, allowing them to
save their real time and energy for software projects that generate a
concrete competitive advantage. (Wall Street Journal 12 Apr 2004)
MICROSOFT SETTLES INTERTRUST PATENT LAWSUIT
Microsoft has settled a lawsuit brought three years ago by InterTrust
Technologies, which alleged that the software giant infringed on its
digital rights management patents. Microsoft will pay $440 million to
InterTrust, which is owned by a joint venture of Sony, Philips Electronics
and investment banking firm Stephens Inc. The announcement comes on the
heels of Microsoft's agreement last week to pay Sun Microsystems $1.6
million to settle an antitrust lawsuit and resolve patent claims. And last
month, Microsoft settled a patent lawsuit filed by AT&T over
voice-recognition technology. Terms of that settlement were not disclosed.

PLAGIARISM SOFTWARE DETECTS NEW MARKET IN CORPORATE WORLD
Software designed to detect plagiarism is moving from academia, where
it's been used for years to flag phony term papers, to the corporate world.
Newspapers, law firms and even the U.N. Security Council are using the
data-sifting tools to ensure their documents are original works, and
companies such as iParadigm, Glatt Plagiarism Services, MyDropBox and CFL
Software Development have moved quickly to meet the new demand. And while
some businesses have been reluctant to deploy such software, iParadigm
president John Barrie predicts that soon the number of corporate clients
will outstrip academics. "The stakes are 100 times greater. We're not
talking about grades anymore," he says. (AP/Washington Post 6 Apr 2004)

MOBILE PHONES CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF?
Contrary to popular airline lore, mobile phones don't really
interfere with airline navigation systems. The real reason phones are
banned during flight is that they disrupt mobile networks on the ground as
they zoom from one base-station to the next at 500 miles an hour. But that
problem is about to be solved, thanks to new technology that will prevent
cell phone signals from leaving the airplane cabin. Instead, a laptop-sized
base station, called a "picocell," will emit a network signal that will
enable onboard cell phones to "roam" -- eliminating any interference with
avionics and terrestrial networks. The new technology is the creation of
WirelessCabin, a consortium led by the German Aerospace Center and
including members such as Airbus, Siemens and Ericsson. It is designed for
cell phones using the European-dominant GSM standard and also supports the
popular Wi-Fi protocol. A similar system targeting business jets will be
flight-tested this year, and European and U.S. regulatory bodies are
developing rules to address the use of wireless devices in flight. Airlines
likely will team with wireless carriers or satellite operators to
administer the in-flight mobile calling systems, and may try tying the
service to their frequent flyer programs, offering members lower rates or
flyer miles when they make calls. (The Economist 1 Apr 2004)

TELSTRA BLOCKS PORT 25
Telstra's BigPond service will start closing access to port 25, used
by outgoing SMTP e-mail, on April 13. "Although some businesses use Port 25
to run their own e-mail systems, spammers also use it to send spam
disguised as normal e-mails," Telstra told BigPond subscribers in an
e-mail. The move to block port 25, which has been under consideration for
six months, is just one of a number of anti-spam measures that will be
unveiled "over the next few weeks," according to a Telstra spokesman, who
adds that the measures will include "taking some steps with Telstra Webmail."
Telstra has been criticized for allowing sign-up for its Webmail service
to remain too easy for spammers to abuse with automated sign-up programs.

AUSTRALIAN JUNK E-MAIL LAWS TAKE EFFECT
Hard-core spammers will be the main target when Australia's
communications watchdog begins to enforce anti-spam legislation beginning
this Saturday. While penalties of $1.1 million a day will be reserved for
prolific spammers, most complaints about spamming will be treated with a
simple phone call, according to the Australian Communications Authority.
The ACA's focus will be on compliance, says Anti-Spam team manager Anthony
Wing. "We are really targeting, in the first instance, the hard-core
spammers. As long as people are trying to comply in the first instance, if
we get a complaint it will result in a phone call." Wing says reducing the
amount of spam that hits Australia's borders is a "longer program" that
requires international co-operation. (The Age 6 Apr 2004)

FILM PRICES CUT TO FIGHT PIRACY IN RUSSIA
High rates of DVD and CD piracy in Russia have prompted entertainment
companies to try to fight rampant copyright violations by lowering
prices on legitimate copies of movies and music. Reports indicate that
9 of every 10 DVDs sold in Russia are counterfeit, while 60 percent of
CDs sold there are pirated copies, and some antipiracy groups say the
problem is getting worse. Movies that have not been released on DVD yet
are routinely available in Russian black markets for the equivalent of
about $4 (U.S.), and copies of recently released music CDs can usually
be bought for less than that. Given the level of piracy, U.S. film
companies, including Columbia TriStar and Time Warner, have lowered the
prices for DVDs in an effort to get Russians accustomed to buying legal
copies of movies, "but at a price that most of the population can
afford," according to Vyacheslav Dobychin, general director of Columbia
TriStar's Russian licensee. Movie producers have been strongly opposed
to lowering prices in the United States as a means to discourage
piracy. Jack Valenti, head of the Motion Picture Association of
America, said, "You can never compete on price with a pirate."

SEARCH SITES STOP SHOWING GAMBLING ADS
Search engines Google and Yahoo have announced they will no longer run
advertisements for online casinos, which U.S. officials say violate
American anti-gambling laws. Overture, the Yahoo subsidiary that sells
sponsored links on the site, attributed the decision to the "lack of
clarity" of legal and regulatory implications. MSN, which purchases
advertising links from Overture, confirmed it would also stop running
casino ads as a result of Yahoo's decision. Officials from Google said
the company would end casino ads in all of its markets, whereas Yahoo
will continue to include the ads on its sites outside the United
States. Lycos has also indicated its intention to stop running casino
ads, though a date for such an action has not been announced. Lost
revenue from the ads is not expected to have a significant effect on
the search companies, but some believe the lack of exposure will have
an enormous impact on casinos' ability to reach customers.

More Headline News Mostly Avoided By The Major U.S. Media
[I'm working up more information for you on this subject]
I got a little more information on this yesterday, including a
price list that shows the mimimum necessary single piece to do
this costs $10,000, with more powerful variations nearly double.
In addition, there are any number of accessories that may or may
not be required, it's not terribly clear, and these are somewhat
expensive, but not enough to double the price.
I've been researching and reporting on "Stereolithography" or 3-D
printing for about 10 years, and still have very little in the way
of press coverage of a pretty exciting computer application. . .
"printing" actual 3-D objects from your computer. At our weekly
Geek Lunch yesterday, I was advised that ads for "printers" that
use lasers to "print" on wood, plastic, fabric, paper, glass,
leather, stone, ceramic rubber, etc., have been listed and
advertized in some of the PC magazines since I left on my
speaking tour around four months ago. One of the cutest
applications I noticed was the making of "popup books" in
which the laser actually cuts the pages so when it sits at
a right angle, something as complex as an architectural
"concept building" can appear in a nice 3-D rendering.
I'm not sure yet if there might not be more work entailed
to make sure the paper/cardboard folded properly.
Any additional information on ANY 3-D printers???
Please email hart@pobox.com.

So far we have sent out 2.5 million eBooks via snailmail!
We currently have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have
a DVD burner or know someone with one, please email Aaron:
cannona@fireantproductions.com
We can set you up with images or snail you these DVDs
for you to copy. You can either snail them to readers
whose addresses we can send you, or you can do a stack
of the these and send the whole box back for reshipping
to individual addresses.
We can also send you blank discs in quantities of 50-100
an *perhaps* also provide envelopes, sleeves, etc.
We also have many volunteers who only have time to do one
DVD per day and mail it out. These are greatly appreciated.
There is no need to do a lot per person if we have a lot of
people working on this.

Project Gutenberg--Canada will be starting up soon.
Please let us know if you would like to volunteer!
Copyright in Canada is "Life +50" as in Australia,
and we have volunteers working on both of these.
We will also be seeking volunteers from others of
the "life +50" countries, as it looks as if the
Australian copyright law is falling victim to the
new "Economic Warfare" being waged by the World
Intellectual Property Organization and various
billionaire copyright holders around the world.

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net
for more information about how you can help a lot, by
simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online,
visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned). Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a you project you would like to work on.

*** Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 13 weeks of this year, we have produced 1330 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1997 to produce our FIRST 1330 eBooks!!!
That's 12 WEEKS as Compared to ~27 YEARS!!!
With 12,230 eBooks online as of April 07, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.82 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.32 when we had 7548 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 12,000 books each costing $.50 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 12,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 12,230 eBooks in 32 Years and 9.00 Months We Averaged
373 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
31.1 Per Month
1.02 Per Day
At 1330 eBooks Done In The 091 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
14.6 Per Day
102.3 Per Week
443.3 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 7th was
the first Wednesday of 2004, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2003 and began the production year of 2004 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

>From Newsscan:
JOBS, OUTSOURCING, AND TWO KINDS OF LIES
The job market -- which is by nature dynamic --has changed throughout
history, and change remains the order of the day, as MIT economist Frank
Levy explains: "If you can describe a job precisely, or write rules for
doing it, it's unlikely to survive. Either we'll program a computer to do
it, or we'll teach a foreigner to do it. Outsourcing accelerates what
technology was already doing. Take call centers. Eight, 10 years down the
line, we could do a lot more with voice-recognition software. But with
outsourcing you can do away with those jobs now... There are two kinds of
lies that politicians tell about outsourcing. One is that we can turn it all
back. But even if you cut off all trade, technology can do the same things
to workers. The other is that education is all that matters. That's true, of
course, but only in the long run." (Wall Street Journal 2 Apr 2004)
http://tinyurl.com/2ejwu ([PAID!]sub req'd) [$80 per year???]
[And. . .in a related story. . .perhaps even MORE related than. . .hee hee!]
THE OUTSOURCING PARADOX
A report prepared for the Information Technology Association of America
(ITAA) by Global Insight predicts that the continuing business trend of
outsourcing white-collar jobs to low wage countries will ultimately lower
inflation, create jobs and boost productivity in the U.S. Although the
researchers believe that demand for U.S. software engineers will shrink
through 2008, ITAA is emphasizing that outsourcing has damaged the job
market far less than the dot-com meltdown of early 2000, when Internet
startups, telecom companies and other companies eliminated as many as
268,000 positions. ITAA president Harris Miller says, "The myth is that
we've started this long decline into the midnight of the technology work
force. This report shows that, assuming the recovery continues, the number
of IT jobs will actually increase." (AP/Los Angeles Times 30 Mar 2004)

GOOGLE UPS THE ANTE WITH E-MAIL SERVICE
Google is launching a new e-mail service dubbed Gmail, which it says
will offer users better access to searching their e-mail as well as a large
amount of free storage capacity. The move raises the stakes with
competitors Yahoo and MSN, which have long provided e-mail services but as
a tiered product that provided only minimal storage at the free level while
charging fees to users who wanted more capacity. Google plans to support
Gmail through advertising rather than fees. (New York Times 1 Apr 2004)
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/01/technology/01google.html
[And. . .In A Related Story. . .and See Another Related Story in Edupage]
PRIVACY ADVOCATES TARGET GOOGLE'S GMAIL STORAGE POLICY
Privacy advocates are voicing concern over Google's data retention
plans, following the search company's splashy launch of its free Gmail
service last week. Google's Gmail privacy policy tells users: "The contents
of your Gmail account are also stored and maintained on Google servers in
order to provide the service. Indeed, residual copies of e-mail may remain
on our systems, even after you have deleted them from your mailbox or after
the termination of your account." The fact that e-mail records potentially
could be combined with Google search cookies, designed to index users'
searches through 2038, and an Orkut cookie that contains personal
identification information, is what has privacy watchdogs worried. "Once
users register for Gmail, Google would be able to make that connection, if
it chose to," says Pam Dixon, head of the World Privacy Forum. "And if
Google ever compared the two sets of data, there are some people who would
be chilled and embarrassed." Archivist Daniel Brandt adds: "While Google
brags that no humans will read your e-mails, the entire Gmail program will
involve extensive automated profiling of you as an individual. Google will
be sharing non-identifiable portions of your profile with anyone they choose.
If the ownership of Google changes, or there is a merger, the entire
personally-identifiable profile will be available to the new owners or partners."

'FLASH MOB SUPERCOMPUTER' FIZZLES
An ambitious plan to assemble an instant supercomputer by asking more
than 600 students, faculty and volunteers to converge on a University of
San Francisco gymnasium with their laptops in hand fell short of
expectations Saturday when a handful of computers refused to cooperate.
Organizers planned to load each machine with software that would enable
them to take part in a single large set of calculations, known and the
Linpack benchmark. The result was intended to be similar to massively
parallel supercomputers used by corporate researchers and scientific labs,
but the USF effort succeeded in producing only a partial result -- 180
billion mathematical operations per second -- short of the 500 billion
operations per second they needed to snag a place in the Top 500
supercomputer list. "If we had twice as many machines and another two days,
I think we would have been successful," says USF computer science professor
Gregory D. Benson. (New York Times 5 Apr 2004)

KAZAA OWNER WELCOMES SURVEY FINDINGS
Sharman Networks, owner of the Kazaa peer-to-peer software, has been
quick to seize on the findings of a survey released in the U.S. on Monday
which concluded that downloading music had no effect on album sales. In a
media release issued last evening, Sharman chief executive Nicola Hemming
said "We welcome sound research into the developing peer-to-peer industry
and this study appears to have covered some interesting ground. The
findings certainly support the vision we've always held for Kazaa and
crystallizes our vision for the future of content distribution." The 2002
study was conducted jointly by researchers from Harvard Business School and
the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and used data from
file-sharing services with 1.75 million downloads being studied over 17
weeks in autumn 2002. "Consider the possibilities if the record industry
actually cooperated with companies like us instead of fighting," Ms.
Hemming said. "We've offered content providers the opportunity to work with
peer-to-peer customers for nearly two years, yet the record industry
continues its narrow-minded strategy of litigation and legislation. (The

FILE TRADERS SAFE IN CANADA
A federal court in Canada has ruled that use of P2P networks to trade
music files does not constitute a violation of Canadian copyright law.
The Canadian Recording Industry Association had sought the identities
of 29 individuals alleged to have illegally shared files over P2P
networks. Justice Konrad von Finckenstein ruled, however, that the
association did not prove that the individuals had in fact distributed
songs or authorized their illegal reproduction. Simply placing the
songs on their computers and granting P2P access to those songs to
other users on the network does not prove copyright infringement, said
von Finckenstein. An attorney for the Canadian Recording Industry
Association said the group would appeal and suggested that Canadian
laws are not keeping up with evolving technologies that allow digital
piracy on such a large scale.

of multiple users from a single lawsuit, a judge in Florida has reached
the same conclusion. After a court ruling that said the RIAA could not
compel ISPs to disclose the identities of alleged copyright infringers
without filing a lawsuit, the group began filing individual lawsuits
against multiple defendants who share an ISP. That tactic has now been
rejected by two federal judges, forcing the RIAA to file separate "John
Doe" lawsuits against every individual it suspects of violating
copyright law. The group can still sue alleged violators and learn
their identities from ISPs, but it must do so on an individual basis,
which will cost the group more money and take more time.

GOOGLE ENTERS THE E-MAIL FRAY
Search engine Google will launch an e-mail service, called Gmail, and
take on companies such as Microsoft and Yahoo, both of which offer
e-mail as well as search services. Yahoo and Microsoft have recently
announced efforts to try to improve their share of the search market,
currently dominated by Google. Google will start well behind Microsoft,
Yahoo, and AOL in number of subscribers; each of those three companies
has more than 30 million subscribers already. The new Gmail service
will reportedly offer users premium features, such as the ability to
store large amounts of e-mail, for free. Current e-mail offerings from
Microsoft, Yahoo, and AOL typically offer free e-mail accounts but
charge users for storage above a relatively low threshold.

More Headline News Mostly Avoided By The Major U.S. Media
I've been researching and reporting on "Stereolithography" or 3-D
printing for about 10 years, and still have very little in the way
of press coverage of a pretty exciting computer application. . .
"printing" actual 3-D objects from your computer. At our weekly
Geek Lunch yesterday, I was advised that ads for "printers" that
use lasers to "print" on wood, plastic, fabric, paper, glass,
leather, stone, ceramic rubber, etc., have been listed and
advertized in some of the PC magazines since I left on my
speaking tour around four months ago. One of the cutest
applications I noticed was the making of "popup books" in
which the laser actually cuts the pages so when it sits at
a right angle, something as complex as an architectural
"concept building" can appear in a nice 3-D rendering.
I'm not sure yet if there might not be more work entailed
to make sure the paper/cardboard folded properly.
Any additional information on ANY 3-D printers???

[So. . .Why Can't *WE* Put RFID Tags On Our OWN Things for 20 Cents???]
RFID TECHNOLOGY FOR AIRPORT BAGGAGE-TRACKING
Jacksonville International will be one of the first airports to track
luggage with RFID tags to increase security and help reduce the number of
lost bags. RFID stands for "radio frequency identification" systems, which
use electronic readers to record data stored within microchips encased in
plastic tags laced with metal bands that transmit signals to monitoring
devices. However, the cost of a disposable RFID chip begins at about 20
cents, which is 20 times what it costs to produce bar-code tags.

TSA EYES RFID BOARDING PASSES
The Transportation Security Administration is looking into the
possibility of using RFID-tagged airline boarding passes that would enable
passenger tracking in airports -- a proposal that has raised the hackles of
some privacy advocates. TSA says it would use the special boarding passes
in conjunction with its "registered traveler" program, which would permit
frequent fliers to provide detailed personal information, corroborated by a
background check. The RFID passes would allow these registered travelers to
speed through "special lanes" during the boarding process. The TSA has
already started work to deploy RFID boarding passes in some countries in
Africa under the Federal Aviation Administration's Safe Skies for Africa
Initiative. But Katherine Albrecht, who worked against the use of RFID tags
on retail goods, says this new proposal is a "nightmare scenario," which
uses technology to invade people's privacy. "Are they going to track how
long I spend in the ladies room?" she asks. (Computerworld 1 Apr 2004)

WHO KILLED THE NEW YORK TIMES?
Some newspaper-watchers say that deposed executive editor Howell Raines
seriously damaged the stature and credibility of the New York Times because
of the way he managed the newsroom and the news; others give the blame to
Jayson Blair, a Raines protigi who flagrantly plagiarized stories from other
newspapers and committed other editorial sins as well. Decide for yourself.
Raines justifies his own actions in a very long apologia called "My Times"
in the May issue of the Atlantic Monthly; for Blair's version of events, see
his recent book "Burning Down My Master's House: My Life at the New York
Times." Unsurprisingly, both versions of the story are distinctly
self-serving accounts of what actually happened. (Atlantic Monthly May 2004)

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria). And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language
at the above link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the world,
and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on the search
results page. To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest
to you, visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria). And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language
at the above link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the world,
and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on the search
results page. To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest
to you, visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria). And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language
at the above link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the world, and
you can select one nearer to your location from the link on the search results
page. To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest to you,
visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Note: this listing best viewed with a fixed-width font, such as
Courier New or similar.

Project Gutenberg Needs DVD Burners
So far we have sent out 2.5 million eBooks via snailmail!
We currently have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have
a DVD burner or know someone with one, please email Aaron:
cannona@fireantproductions.com
We can set you up with images or snail you these DVDs
for you to copy. You can either snail them to readers
whose addresses we can send you, or you can do a stack
of the these and send the whole box back for reshipping
to individual addresses.
We can also send you blank discs in quantities of 50-100
an *perhaps* also provide envelopes, sleeves, etc.
We also have many volunteers who only have time to do one
DVD per day and mail it out. These are greatly appreciated.
There is no need to do a lot per person if we have a lot of
people working on this.

Project Gutenberg is seeking graphics we can use for our Web
pages and publicity materials. If you have original graphics
depicting Project Gutenberg themes, please contribute them!
To see some of what we have now, please see:

Project Gutenberg has worked with Kazaa to make our eBooks available
via peer to peer file sharing networks. Recently, a Magnetlinks
download option was added to search results via our "find an eBook"
page at http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
Magnetlinks is an open standard to allow Web browser programs with the
Magnetlink plug-in to find items on peer to peer networks. If it is
unavailable, a regular http or ftp download is used.

*** Continuing Requests For Assistance:
Project Gutenberg--Canada will be starting up soon.
Please let us know if you would like to volunteer!
Copyright in Canada is "Life +50" as in Australia,
and we have volunteers working on both of these.
We will also be seeking volunteers from others of
the "life +50" countries, as it looks as if the
Australian copyright law is falling victim to the
new "Economic Warfare" being waged by the World
Intellectual Property Organization and various
billionaire copyright holders around the world.

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net
for more information about how you can help a lot, by
simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online,
visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned). Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a you project you would like to work on.

*** HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM OUR MIRROR SITES
http://promo.net/pg (aka http://www.gutenberg.net) allows searching by
title, author, language and subject. Mirrors (copies) of the complete
collection are available around the world.
http://gutenberg.net/list.html can get you to the nearest one.
These sites and indices are not instant, as the cataloguing needs to be
done by our professional Chief Cataloguer.
--"INSTANT" ACCESS TO OUR LATEST eBOOKS
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download
site (or a mirror) if you know the filename you want. Try:
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext04
or
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext04
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)
*** Have We Given Away A Trillion eBooks/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 12 weeks of this year, we have produced 1287 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1998 to produce our FIRST 1287 eBooks!!!
That's 12 WEEKS as Compared to ~28 YEARS!!!
With 12,145 eBooks online as of March 31, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.82 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.34 when we had 7462 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 12,000 books each costing $.50 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 12,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 12,145 eBooks in 32 Years and 9.80 Months We Averaged
371 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
31 Per Month
1.1 Per Day
At 1238 eBooks Done In The 084 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
14.7 Per Day
103.2 Per Week
449.5 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 7th was

GATES ENVISIONS 'ALMOST FREE' HARDWARE
[But NOT "Almost Free" Software. . .hee hee!]
Hardware costs will decline dramatically in the coming decade,
predicts Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, leading the way for widespread
adoption of cutting edge technologies like voice and handwriting
recognition. "Ten years out, in terms of actual hardware costs, you can
almost think of hardware as being free -- I'm not saying it will be
absolutely free -- but in terms of the power of the servers, the power of
the network will not be a limiting factor^E Many of the holy grails of
computing that have been worked on over the last 30 years will be solved
within this 10-year period, with speech being in every device and having a
device that's like a tablet that you just carry around."

STUDY CONTRADICTS MUSIC INDUSTRY'S PIRACY CLAIMS
Two university researchers have released a study that indicates online
music piracy has no negative effect on legitimate music sales, and in fact
boosts sales in some cases. "Consumption of music increases dramatically
with the introduction of file sharing, but not everybody who likes to
listen to music was a music customer before, so it's very important to
separate the two," says Felix Oberholzer-Gee, an associate professor at
Harvard Business School, who co-authored the study. Oberholzer-Gee and his
colleague, University of North Carolina professor Koleman Strumpf, say
their "most pessimistic" statistical model indicates that only 2 million CD
sales were lost due to illegal file-sharing in 2002, whereas CD sales
declined by 139 million units between 2000 and 2002. "From a statistical
point of view, what this means is that there is no effect between
downloading and sales," says Oberholzer-Gee. The study's results contradict
the recording industry's assertions that their financial decline is
attributable in large part to music piracy, citing several studies that
have supported that claim. However, some other research groups said the
Harvard-UNC study conclusions appeared to mirror their own research
findings. "While some people seemed to buy less after file sharing, more
people seemed to buy more," says Jupiter Research analyst Aram Sinnreich,
who conducted similar studies in 1999 and 2002. (Washington Post 29 Mar 2004)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A34300-2004Mar29.html
[I heard a "non-apology apology" on the NPR from an RIAA spokesperson,
who said that the results were different because this study focused on
actual buying of CDs, whereas the RIAA quoted studies that actully were
focusing on other behaviors than purchasing. No kidding, that's what it
really sounded like. They were saying sales went down due to sharing,
but without actually research the buying habits of the filesharers.]
MICROSOFT WANTS ITS OWN SEARCH ENGINE
Microsoft is determined to make up for time it lost by not aggressively
pursuing the search technology market. CEO Steve Ballmer now says the
company's goal is "to be absolutely the best from a user perspective and
from an advertiser perspective. It's probably the thing I feel worst about
over the last several years -- not making the R&D investments ourselves up
front." Microsoft is now planning to integrate its own new search technology
into "Longhorn," the next Windows operating system (due out in a couple of
years). Will the plan get Microsoft in trouble again with U.S. anti-trust
laws? Probably not right away, says anti-trust law expert Mark Ostrau: "My
guess is that including search by itself doesn't match the same kind of red
flags that you would have with middleware like browsers or media players.
They would have to take the next leap to make it work better with Windows or
better with Internet Explorer than competing search technologies. That's
where they potentially cross the line." (San Jose Mercury News 27 Mar 2004)

AMBULANCE-CHASING 21ST-CENTURY-STYLE
North Carolina's 1999 decision to electronically centralize 100
counties' court records every day has been used by information service
companies that previously had to send people to courthouses to dig for
files. A company pays the state 10 to 30 cents for each record it downloads
(an agreement which yields the state about $1.7 million a year), then
charges lawyers 50 cents to over $1 to relay the data or perform such
services as printing and mailing letters to prospective clients. Some
critics say it's merely an update to ambulance chasing. One couple whose son
was arrested charge that deputies failed to call them yet managed to inform
people who wanted to sell them legal services. "The whole situation was very
disturbing, that they would use this technology to benefit lawyers but they
couldn't even pick up a cell phone to call his father," the couple say. An
executive of one courthouse information service in California explains how
the business works: "We send people to courthouses with laptops, digital
scanners, even digital cameras -- we have to convert it all, effectively
digitize the information. If the person gets arrested before 11 a.m., we'll
have it that day." But Will Hornsby, staff counsel in the American Bar
Association's division for legal services, says that direct mail still
accounts for a small percentage of attorney advertising.

WTO SAYS U.S. ONLINE GAMBLING POLICY IS AGAINST THE LAW
The World Trade Organization has ruled that U.S. policy prohibiting
Internet gambling violates international trade law. The decision came in
response to a case brought by island nation Antigua and Barbuda, which
licenses 19 companies that offer sports wagering and casino-type games over
the Internet. Antigua and Barbuda had argued that U.S. trade policy does
not prohibit cross-border gambling operations and that the government in
fact wants U.S. casino operations to operate land-based and Internet-based
units overseas. Sir Ronald Sanders, the islands' chief foreign affairs
representative, said the WTO's decision means that the U.S. must liberalize
its online gambling regulations or risk accusations of hypocrisy on its
free trade policy: "The U.S. says it wants open competition. But it only
wants free trade when it suits the U.S." Sebastian Sinclair, a research
analyst who studies the Internet gambling industry, says the WTO decision
could galvanize U.S. lawmakers who want to see online gambling banned. At
the same time, it revealed the chasm between U.S. policies and attitudes
toward gambling in the rest of the world. "We're going down one path, and
the rest of the world is going down a completely different path."
Meanwhile, many U.S. residents already use offshore online gambling services,
says Betonsports.com CEO David Carruthers, who said last year his company
took 33 million bets from people in North America, most of them in the U.S.

LIBRARIES USE INTERNET TO LURE PATRONS
Libraries are using the Internet to attract busy readers by e-mailing
patrons online book teasers -- a chapter or so of a book at regular
intervals. More than 3,000 libraries nationwide have latched onto the
strategy as a way to serve both bookworms and the time-pressed. "It gives
them an opportunity to know what's out there in the publishing world, to
hook onto new titles," says Public Library Association president Luis
Herrera. The service is provided by DearReader.com, owned by Suzanne
Beecher, who started out by e-mailing chapters to part-time employees of
her family's software business. "I realized that if you could get business
people and stay-at-home moms involved in a book so that reading is on their
short list, that's quite an accomplishment," says Beecher, who works
together with librarians to select the books. Beecher's employees -- mostly
stay-at-home moms -- type up and send out the chapters. Users can sign up
for specific genres, such as mystery, romance or teen. "We tell people to
read only what they enjoy reading. If you don't like a book, just hit the
delete key," says Beecher. (AP 26 Mar 2004)

EU SLAPS MICROSOFT WITH $613M FINE
The European Commission, which enforces European Union antitrust law,
has declared Microsoft an abusive monopoly and levied a fine of $613
million. It also has ordered Microsoft to unbundle its Windows Media Player
application from its Windows operating system and offer computer makers a
choice of installing the streamlined version instead. Finally, Microsoft
must, within 120 days, divulge previously proprietary information about how
Windows works so that rival software companies can tailor their products to
work with it. More than 95% of the world's PCs are powered by Windows
software. Microsoft says it will appeal the ruling, but European
competition commission Mario Monti appeared unfazed. "I am confident that
we have produced here a decision that will stand before any appeal," said
Monti. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs analyst Rich Sherlund downplayed the
severity of the ruling: "I am not really concerned about the fine. It
represents about two weeks of cash flow for Microsoft. And unbundling the
music player is something they can live with." (New York Times 24 Mar 2004)

TOSHIBA GOES WITH DUAL-FORMAT DVD DRIVES
Toshiba launched new dual-format DVD recordable drives for PCs and
laptops that support both the "-R/RW" and the "+R/RW" technologies, joining
Hewlett-Packard, Sony and Pioneer in offering consumers a dual system.
Toshiba, Sony and Pioneer had originally supported the "dash" format, while
HP and Philips promoted the "plus" technology as technologically superior.
By switching over to dual-format machines, a number of analysts say the
impasse between the two camps is now passe. (CNet News.com 23 Mar 2004)

INTERACTIVE FEATURES CHARGE UP E-BOOKS
The market for e-books has yet to heat up, but a startup called
Waterfront Media is betting that by adding interactive tools such as a
shopping-list generator, a meal planner and a message board, consumers will
find the electronic versions of self-help books more useful than old-style
hard copy. Waterfront partners with publishers that specialize in advice
and personal-help books to create an authoritative Web site, which it then
markets through online advertising. The partner receives a portion of the
subscription fees, creating an additional revenue stream for the book
publishers. Waterfront's biggest success is with the South Beach Diet -- a
modified version of the Atkins diet that has topped the bestseller list for
months. The company's www.southbeachdiet.com Web site makes up the bulk of
its 300,000 paid subscribers, who get a six-week version of the diet and
access to a "beach buddies" service that pairs up dieters with similar
weight-loss goals. Other Waterfront partnerships include Tyndale House,
which publishes the best-selling "Left Behind" novels, financial expert
Jean Chatzky, fitness guru Denise Austin and New Age doctor Andrew Weil,
and has several new projects in the works. (Wall Street Journal 23 Mar 2004)

EU, US REGULATORS SEE MICROSOFT DIFFERENTLY
The European Union's decision to fine Microsoft Corp. and require it to
make alternate versions of its Windows operating system (NewsScan Daily 24
Mar 2004) is considerably tougher than the position taken by the U.S.
Department of Justice. Democrat Senator Patty Murray of Washington state
says: "This ruling is yet another example of the EU assaulting a successful
American industry and policies that support our economic growth." Business
experts are making the point that it is very difficult for companies to
abide by divergent international rules, and attorney E. Marcellus
Williamson, a specialist in EU antitrust issues, says: "In a world in which
products cross borders regularly and in which dominant companies operate in
both places ... it becomes difficult to advise those companies on what kind
of unilateral conduct they can engage in." And attorney Eleanor M. Fox,
another EU antitrust expert, predicts: "I anticipate there will be another
round of angst" over the different approaches of Europe and America.

HP CONTINUES LINUX EXPANSION
Hewlett-Packard is expanding its partnership with Novell by packaging
its SuSE version of Linux with computers purchased by corporate clients. The
HP executive in charge of that company's Linux division says: "When you have
the No. 1 client provider and a major Linux distributor out there, this is a
pretty significant move." The decision to expand the use of the Linux
platform at HP was made as the result of expressions of interest by "a
number of very large customers from Fortune 50 companies." IDC analyst Roger
Kay says, "What's interesting is the possibility it will give Microsoft the
impression that it's actually in a competitive market. It would act like a
competitor rather than a monopoly and use price as a competitive tool."

CASINO WINNINGS MAY INVOLVE HIGH-TECH TRICKERY
Two men and a woman, all from Eastern Europe, have been arrested on
suspicion of cheating at a London casino after winning more than #1 million

MOVES AFOOT TO CRIMINALIZE FILE SHARING
Congress is working on several fronts to address the issue of copyright
violations over the Internet. Sens. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Patrick
Leahy (D-Vt.) last week introduced a bill that would give the Justice
Department authority to bring civil lawsuits against those guilty of
trading copyrighted files on P2P networks. According to Hatch, the
Protecting Intellectual Rights Against Theft and Expropriation (Pirate)
Act of 2004 would provide law enforcement with tools to fight companies
that attract users with free music, movies, and pornography, making
piracy and pornography the "cornerstones" of a business model. The
Recording Industry Association of America and the Motion Picture
Association of America applauded the Pirate Act. Meanwhile, a draft
bill was circulated among members of Congress that would criminalize
file trading. According to the draft, those found guilty of sharing
large numbers of copyrighted works or single copies of prerelease
content could face fines and prison time. Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Tx.)
reportedly has agreed to introduce the bill if he can find co-sponsors,
though his office declined to comment.

INEXPENSIVE COMPUTER DEBUTS IN INDIA
An inexpensive handheld computer, designed by researchers at the Indian
Institute of Science in Bangalore, India, debuted last week. Conceived
in 2001 as a way to make Internet technology accessible to millions of
poor Indians, the Simputer had to overcome a three-year delay due to
lack of interest from computer manufacturers. Funding for development
of the Simputer ultimately came from the government-owned Bharat
Electronics, which will produce the machines. The computer, which will
be called the Amida Simputer, will cost about $240 and will go on sale
in April. It uses a Linux-based operating system, employs a stylus, and
offers users Internet access. Developers hope that the Simputer will
bridge a broad technology gap in a country where fewer than 10 people
in every 1,000 have computers, primarily because of cost.

MIT DEVELOPS, GIVES AWAY, DISTANCE-ED SOFTWARE
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has built a
portal-development application designed to help institutions set up and
manage distance-education programs. Called Caddie.net, the software,
which can be downloaded free, allows users to build various portals for
the different aspects of a distance-education program. Portals can be
built, for example, for registration, course management, or online
testing. Sean M. Rowland of Hibernia College in Ireland, which has been
using a similar tool from MIT for some time, compared the application
to those sold by Blackboard or WebCT. "For me," said Rowland, "it's
Blackboard that you can control yourself." Last year MIT launched its
OpenCourseWare project, which offers free, online access to the course
materials for more than 500 MIT courses. Richard C. Larson, a professor
of electrical engineering at MIT, described the Caddie.net project as
being "very much in the spirit of MIT OpenCourseWare."

TRADE GROUP BLAMES EDUCATION FOR OFFSHORING
A new report from the American Electronics Association downplays the
number of high-tech jobs being sent overseas and contends that one of
the primary reasons for such offshoring is a lack of appropriately
skilled workers in the United States. While the report acknowledges
that some are being hurt by offshoring, the authors contend that the
numbers of jobs lost is exaggerated. The report argues that many
companies are sending jobs overseas because U.S. institutions are not
sufficiently focused on math and science education, leaving graduates
unprepared for the demands of the workplace. Furthermore, because
high-tech companies must compete with one another, as soon as one
company outsources jobs, others must follow suit to reap similar
financial benefit, which is not the primary reason to outsource,
according to the report. The report also urges the federal government
to increase funding for technology research and to avoid
"protectionist" policies intended to dissuade U.S. corporations from
offshoring high-tech jobs.

EU ISSUES RULING AGAINST MICROSOFT
The European Union (EU) today issued an antitrust ruling against
Microsoft, finding that the company abused its monopoly in the
operating systems market to disadvantage competitors. Specifically, the
company was accused of harming makers of media players, such as
RealNetworks and Apple Computer, in bundling its own Windows Media
Player software with its market-dominating operating system. The EU's
ruling includes a fine of $613 million and requires the software
company to offer two versions of its operating system, one with Media
Player and one without. Microsoft is prohibited from offering consumers
a discount if they purchase the operating system with Media Player. The
EU's ruling also compels Microsoft to disclose currently proprietary
information about how its operating system works to allow other
companies to develop software that can work well with Windows.
Microsoft will appeal the ruling.

More Headline News Mostly Avoided By The Major U.S. Media
YOU'RE JOB COULD BE OUTSOURCED AT BIRTH
In an unprecendented move, financial centers are refusing to invest
in startups that do not have internations connections to outsource
jobs from the very beginning. In fact, many of these startups are
starting with more Third World employees than local employees, and
only achieve a 50/50 parity ratio
This is in addition to traditional companies moving jobs out of the
United States at an astounding rate, the latest victims being the
workers at very traditional Fannie May candy company and the Radio
Flyer company that has made those little red wagons since the 20's.
Sometimes the companies would rather go out of business, as in the
case of Fannie May [and Fannie Farmer] even though their workers
want to step in to save the company [and their jobs], while in
other cases, such as Radio Flyer, all their metal products and
related jobs have been outsourced to China. These two events
alone are responsible for raising the Chicago unemployment rate
in unprecendented numbers.
However, the real news is that many, perhaps even most, of the
NEW companies coming into existence will have jobs primarily of
the outsourced natures from their very inception, and only the
most successful of them will ever achieve 50/50 parity.
Thus it is not only the very rich "old money" corporations that
are doing so much outsourcing that it hurts the US economy, but
now it would appear most of the "new money" corporations will be
doing an even greater amount of damage to the unemployment rate,
only this will possibily go "under the radar" of the current US
employment figures, since the jobs can't be said to actually
have been "lost," since they never existed here.
Remember the advent of "The Bedroom Communities?"
Is the US simply going to become the first "Bedroom Nation?"
Someone should ask Michael Moore, who did that great piece on
the US becoming a nation of gated communities. . .apparently
nearly 1/5 of the US now falls into that category, and it is
still rising.
"The rich get getting richer and the poor are getting poorer."
