Mozilla Throws Its Weight Behind Improving Web Type, Adopts WOFF for Firefox
http://www.webmonkey.com/blog/Mozilla_Throws_Its_Weight_Behind_Improving_Web_Type__Adopts_WOFF_for_Firefox
Web Open Font Format (WOFF) for the newest version of firefox (3.6) due out at the end of this year. By adopting this method Firefox users will hopefully be able to see an even greater diversity of fonts on web pages. What makes WOFF great is that WOFF fonts are compressed, so they download faster, and they include support for tags and other unencrypted metadata. There are still some concerns over how exactly its going to work for like older machines.
This article relates to this class in that as we did a survey earlier in the semester and found that most of the students in our class use Firefox as their browser. As a matter of fact I'm currently posting this blog on blogger using Firefox. Blogs can look better and feel better with different variations of fonts but then again next semesters class are going to be the lucky ones using Firefox 3.6.

The Web’s Inventor Regrets One Small Thing
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/12/the-webs-inventor-regrets-one-small-thing/?ref=technology
In this article by Steve Lohr he talks about a conversation he had with the person who created the web. In it he talks about how the inventor Tim Berners-Lee had one small regret and that was to have had the double slashed erased from the http://. That was pretty funny but he goes on to talk about how Berners-Lee's new enthusiasm is to have more government data on the web and is currently working with the British government to do just that. He states that the lesson of the web is that making information and simple online tools freely available inevitably fuels innovation.
This article is very important as it relates to this class as the web becomes more and more part of our lives. In this article it is mentioned that the benefits of having more info available online for example having simple mash-ups like combining roadway maps with bicycle accident reports. And as result it lowers the chance of bicyclist being in accidents as they know which roads to avoid. This impacts us as students and as a society.

Will Books Be Napsterized?
October 3, 2009
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/04/business/04digi.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&ref=technology&adxnnlx=1254625361-x4QJmX7K0NvRUnbbDpRMeg
In this article by Randall Stross he talks about how E-books are becoming more popular but not because people prefer it more than hard copies or because its cheaper at Amazon.com, but instead its being accessible for free in websites such as RapidFire.com and Megaupload. So this situation mimics what went on with the music industry in that music files were being uploaded and then downloaded for free on napster without any profits going to the artists. The article goes on to talk about how the music industry hasn't recovered from this and how book sales have been affected in the past couple of years. So this begs the question, will books be napstertized?
This article is revelant as it comes across the same topic we discussed in class about google trying to digitized all of the worlds books. The fact that ebooks are being more apparent goes back to whether people still would prefer print over web.
