RFID tags, the dime-sized devices that can track inventory from the factory to the store, are being embraced as one of the hottest of new technologies. But Patrick J. Sweeney II likens most available applications of RFID, or radio frequency identification, to the user-unfriendly personal computers of the 1980s: a blank screen and a command prompt.

A few months ago I wrote about Web browser hijacking. It&#39;s a problem a lot of computer users are facing these days. You open your Internet Explorer, but instead of being directed to your homepage, you&#39;re sent to some search engine you&#39;ve never heard of.

If you hang around on web-related mailing lists long enough, you start getting the idea that the future is full of metadata. Now, this metadata may or may not be XML, or it may or may not be RDF or OWL or a dozen other technologies with impressive-sounding words like &ldquo;ontology&rdquo; in their names. It may or may not be the long-dreamt-of (and often derided) &ldquo;Semantic Web.&rdquo; In fact, it may or may not be a dozen different buzzwords, and it may or may not be a good thing. But whatever the future is, it will definitely be full of metadata; on this the experts agree.    To my mind there&rsquo;s a problem with this: the argument always seems to depend on technologies which don&rsquo;t exist or aren&rsquo;t quite ready yet, so it always falls back to talking about how things will be &ldquo;in the future,&rdquo; which may never get here. Luckily, there's an easy way to add oodles of metadata to your documents right this minute, without having to learn anything more complicated than trusty old HTML 4.01. If it catches on, &ldquo;the future&rdquo; might get here a lot sooner than expected.

Before heading over to the Web 2.0 conference at the Palace Hotel in SF this morning, I couldn't resist doing some more digging into alternate user interfaces for news reading based on the NY Times keywords.  One thing I learned the hard way is that when you access the Times site from a script (not through a browser) if you try to read an article that's too old (not sure what the time limit is) it tries to redirect you to a login page (which is pretty pointless considering that there's no human being around to log in). I hit this problem yesterday, and then hit it again this morning, but couldn't remember what the problem was. So by writing it up this time I hope to remember.  No doubt some debunked hack journalist posing as a tech industry mogul will slander me for this, but the asshat asshole has no idea how blogging works, and who the fuck cares what he thinks anyway.

HTML 5 - now with added &lt;em&gt;phasis The recent announcement by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) of the first major overhaul of HTML in ten years was largely greeted with indifference down at the Vulture Central hackery department, where the average journo has trouble telling his &lt;a&gt;s from his &lt;elbow&gt;.â¦
