Singapore Blog Investigation
06/26/2006

Singapore's police investigation of an Internet blogger who posted cartoons mocking Jesus Christ shows the city-state has scant regard for media independence, a press freedom group says.

"It is not the job of the police to intervene in this kind of case. By targeting this blogger, the authorities have once again shown they attribute scant importance to media diversity and independence," the Paris-based Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said in a statement.

Mozilla Takes Position on Feed Icon
06/19/2006

Mozilla's Leadership has taken a position on the "common RSS feed icon":

There have been some questions about the RSS icon and trademark protection. The Mozilla Foundation filed a trademark application a while back during the process of evaluating what course of action to take. Same with creating a trademark license to see what it would look like.

After looking at this, we all believe that a community driven approach is best and that trademark licensing don't make sense for a number of reasons. So several things could happen with the existing trademark application. The Mozilla Foundation could abandon the trademark application. The Mozilla Foundation could commit to managing the trademark only as determined by the community process.

06/18/2006

Great piece that discusses Full vs Partial Text Feeds:

A number of experts have suggested that the only sensible way to embrace RSS as an organisation is to launch full-text feeds, allowing RSS subscribers to read the whole story (or other message) within their RSS feed reader.

Yes, full-text is the first rule of RSS. But rules are there to be broken. Full-text simply doesn’t work for everybody, for a number of reasons.

Mozilla asks Opera to sign agreement before it uses its RSS feed icon -

The Mozilla Foundation asked Opera to sign an agreement on the use of its RSS feed icon in the Opera browser.

Earlier this year, Opera adopted the orange RSS feed icon from Mozilla Firefox for use in the Opera browser. This after Microsoft announced that it too would include the icon in the next release of Internet Explorer (IE). There has been an ongoing effort between browser vendors to encourage more consistency between the various browsers.

For now Opera removed the icon in its latest weekly build of the Opera 9 desktop browser, which was released today.

Churches Using RSS
06/13/2006

The Internet has made spreading faith significantly easier. In the past, community residents were limited to the churches, temples and houses of worships that were available within driving distances. Coordinating schedules with sermons could be challenging for busy families.

The Internet has opened the doors to a diverse congregation that exists beyond the traditional borders that communities have become accustom to. Using technology as a communication medium has not been lost on spiritual leaders and many have embraced the Internet as a medium to spread their faith.

However Bob Wyman of PubSub calls him on it:

"No PubSub payrolls have been missed. We paid our full payroll on May 30th as is normally the case."
