Lifehacker.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008 Parents Are Never Going To Be Able To Monitor All Kids Online Activities Over the past few years, the "but think of the children!" crowd constantly talks up the importance of having parents monitor their kids' online activities, and often puts out studies like the following one, bemoaning the fact that not enough parents are monitoring their kids enough. Of course, the simple fact is that parents are never going to be able to fully monitor what their kids do online (at least without seriously pissing off their kids). If kids want to chat online, they're going to find a way to be able to do so. Perhaps rather than focusing so much on spying on everything that kids do, the focus should be more on educating them to the dangers that are out there, the laws that they should be aware of and the risks of not obeying them. We have this tendency in our society to overprotect kids, which often has the opposite effect: not preparing them properly to face the real world. Kids who understand the risks tend to make better choices online. As for those who are consta Techdirt.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008 Black + White preparing for beta test and launch A new mobile provider is getting ready to launch in the New Zealand market.

Lifehacker.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008 And What Would Happen If Commercial Aviation Was Simply Impossible To Do Profitably? I tend to be something of an innovation optimist, believing that most resource constraint problems are eventually solved through ingenuity and innovation, but there can be some hiccups in the process along the way. Here's an article looking at the airline industry, and trying to spin some scenarios of what would happen if it simply turns out that the commercial airline business is completely unsupportable. Obviously, with fuel costs so high, it's become more and more difficult to keep airlines running (and it was never all that easy back when fuel costs were cheap). However, people seem to take for granted what cheap and readily available air travel allows. It touches on so many different businesses that it's hard to fathom how deep the eventual impact would be if air travel needs to be significantly curtailed in the future.
It's not just the obvious industries: airlines, tourism, etc. It would impact things like e-commerce companies that rely on cheap shipping. It would impact Techdirt.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008 The Social Network Friendfeed is changing their look. They launched it at beta.friendfeed.com.
The big change is it moves the navigation links from the top to the right side. It's now got a similar look to Google Groups because of it. The new version added an option in Friend Settings where you can put your friends into a more organized group. I think we called them Cliques in High School....
You can now also share photos easier. No need to put it in Flickr - just select the form box, then in the dropdown chose "Photos". You'll be able to upload a picture from your computer.
The overall look is a bit more organized. For instance, the recommended page just has the subscribe button on each profile instead of every network they belong to. After all, I don't need to know that, just whether I want to follow them on Friendfeed.
I really like the new look. It's easy and familiar. It's got some great new organization to it and it doesn't have those different sized bubble tabs on the top.

Lifehacker.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008 Klausner Continues To Sue Everyone Over Visual Voicemail Patent You may recall stories involving a small patent holding firm called Klausner Technologies, which claims to hold patents on the concept of "visual voicemail." It seems to have interpreted these patents pretty broadly to the point that it considers anyone who offers any graphical interface to voicemail as infringing. Over the years, that's meant lawsuits against AOL, Vonage, apple, eBay, AT&T and others. Apparently, suing one by one was too much trouble, because Klausner has now sued another bunch of companies including Google, Verizon and Embarq. Of course, the company is playing up the fact that all those other companies it sued settled, but we've seen that game before. There's not much new here as this scenario is all too common. We have a company with an overly broad patent on a concept that was a natural obvious progression of the art, suing pretty much every company that actually innovates, thus making actual innovation more expensive.
