- NBA.com reports that the Lakers have signed Bryon Russell, possibly best known for being Michael Jordan's defender for his Finals-winning shot, which was his last as a Chicago Bull. Russell, like Karl Malone, I only picture in a Utah uniform, but now both are Lakers. The LA Daily News reported yesterday two facts: Rick Fox may not be available until January, and the Lakers had one roster slot open. |

- WSJ writes that the gaming device (which is also a cellphone) from Nokia scheduled for release next week may become a surprise hit: Nokia's clout has attracted retailers, game-review Web sites and the world's top game developers. Now, critics say that when the N-Gage launches on Tuesday, it could be a surprise hit, thanks to Nokia's clever use of networking technology to encourage competition between gamers. "If Nokia can get a number of good titles out there, particularly ones that capitalize on the communications features of the product, then they have a good opportunity," says Ken Hyers, a senior games analyst with U.S. |

- David Kirkpatrick (Fortune) writes: In the free-ranging world of the Internet, the ties created by social-networking sites have people excited. Some are calling it a social revolution. Much of the talk has focused on how well sites like Friendster aid dating. But social networking can be used for lots of other things--for example, at a later stage in life, finding a babysitter. |

- David Stutz writes an insightful article about the way software really is: The right way to view software is as pliable building material, rather than as finished product. Because of this, Doc Searls' metaphor of the software industry as the construction industry is nearly perfect: those who build and maintain software are like the millions of architects, builders, and contractors who help us maintain and preserve our homes, businesses, and public places in the face of dryrot, hurricanes, vandals, changing family sizes, and all of the other forces that conspire to ruin them. The guild of craftsmen who join software to service, software to device, and software to other software are not factory workers cranking out uniform widgets. |

- Jason Kottke tells an interesting story about something we have probably replayed many times: I stand alone in the elevator, right in the middle, equidistant from the four walls. Before the doors close, a woman enters. Unconsciously, I move over to make room for her. We stand side by side with equal amounts of space between the two of us and between each of us and the walls of the elevator. |

- Childhood We all have mostly pleasant memories of our childhood. These memories may be few and far between, but they flash by us once in a while. It could be the school we want to, the first friend that we made, the first train journey that we remember, the first toys that we played with. We may forget much of our later life, but there are those few early memories that we never will. For the entrepreneur, the childhood has its own joy of discovery – of freedom, of finding new things, of doing things on one’s own, of the early successes. |

- Newsweek has an interview with Larry Ellison. Says Ellison: "I think we’re seeing a gradual shift away from the desktop and toward Internet computing. There’s been three eras of computing.

- Roland Piquepaille points to vnunet.com article: "A Grand Challenge must be a 15-year project with international participation. There should be a clear evaluation of success or failure, and it should offer fundamental and radical advances in basic science or engineering. The UK Computing Research Committee (UKCRC), a joint expert panel of the Institute of Electrical Engineers and the British Computer Society is working with the Council of Professors and Heads of Computing to start seven new projects. |

The article starts with the ten things that users hate, and then offers a design pattern for software developers.

Patents (Oct 02 2003 03:09 GMT) - NYTimes writes: Petra Moser, now an assistant professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Sloan School of Management, has come up with some surprising conclusions [in her Ph. D thesis] that are attracting the attention of fellow scholars. One of Professor Moser's conclusions is that developing countries like India, which is scheduled to come into full compliance with an international patent treaty in 2005, may be better off without strong patent laws. The conventional wisdom among economists has been that a robust patent system helped transform the United States into an economic powerhouse. |

- Adam Bosworth continues the discussion on "various ways in which a client can browse information gleaned from web services on the net". The options to turn information can turn into User Interface: Attach a lot of metadata to elements. Then have a general meta-data driven rendering engine that displays information using the metadata to do so. Build a picture of the desired layout and "bind" elements and properties within it to elements of data. |

- Life and Entrepreneurship are very similar – full of unknowns and the unexpected. This is what one must be prepared to expect as part of the normal, standard operating procedure. Each step that one will make will educate. Even though one may be the master of the field in which one wants to start a business, as an entrepreneur, one will start as a baby. Baby There comes a moment in the life of a person when a decision has to be made – does one go ahead with the entrepreneurial venture or not. |

- Perhaps. It appears that Britain is considering measures to regulate conversation in message boards and chat rooms following users' speculation about the identities of soccer players "rumored to be linked to the rape of a teenager." A number of sites where names have appeared have already been shut down. The Internet Service Providers' Association is campaigning for a complete overhaul of law surrounding the Internet to provide clear legal guidance to clamp down on rumors. And solicitor Mark Stephens, who has represented high-profile clients, told the UK Press Association: |
