Got DeCSS? How about HD-DVD 09 F9?

Fri, May 4, 2007 — Category: Advocacy

The EFF has an 09 f9 legal primer regarding the highly publicized 5/1/7 Digg revolt in which the popular blog linking site received a backlash of “09 f9″ postings after initially removing posts that link to the recently publicized HD-DVD encryption key, in compliance with an AACS-LA request.

For those who are not familiar with the EFF (Electronic Freedom Foundation), the organization prides itself in helping to ensure free speech on the Internet is available and sustainable.

Other sites of interest include an “09 f9″ or HD-DVD search at cafepress for t-shirts, mugs, mouse pads, bumper stickers, et. al. I have not linked to the key directly, as recommended by the EFF page above. There is a dedicated site (not surpisingly) with the key which can be found by using your brain (and adding “.com” after whatever it is you come up.

You can track the developments at the Doom9 and Engadget links at the bottom of the EFF legal primer for more information.

Don’t Break the Back Button

Wed, May 2, 2007 — Category: Accessibility

Description of the problems associated with breaking the back button in rich web UI. Supporting web standards in whole requires that the page work functionally without javascript enabled.

The adoption of Section 508 accessibility guidelines has been a controversial issue at best. depending on the site involved, and those developing and using it.

Breaking the back button means that traditional browsing with forward and backward buttons will be rendered useless.

Too many times I’ve seen sites that have a rich UI experience, but only tested in one or two browsers (usually IE and FF). As a web developer, I often cringe at sites who have not adopted standard-based DOM scripting techniques, or worse yet throw an error page if I am not using one of their supported browsers, as is the case with Konquerer and weightwatchers.com.

I often bring up my favorite sites on my mobile phone as well. The more popular web sites have started to realize the potential of mobile phone usage and accomodated either with standards-compliant markup and scripting, or offering a dedicated WAP 2.0 site.
