		<outline text="Stewart Alsop on 802.11b and 802.11a: &quot;They are not compatible, but there are plenty of vendors developing dual chip sets that can talk to either kind of access point. As always there's a mixed story: 802.11b is longer range but slower; 802.11a is shorter range and  faster. A is also in a different frequency (5GHz), also unregulated but less well developed than where B is (2.4GHz) so it's hard to tell exactly what the configuration issues will be for the new standard.  Just to complicate things, the official standards body just announced 802.11g which is faster &lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt; compatible with 802.11b, but won't be available for a while.&quot; " created="Fri, 04 Jan 2002 18:33:32 GMT"/>

			<outline text="Disclosure: I feel it's necessary to disclose that UserLand has received a letter from the same lawfirm that has written to the others about RDF and patents, as &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-8351560.html&quot;&gt;reported yesterday&lt;/a&gt; on News.Com. It appears to be the same letter that the others received. We're not sure what to do about it, so we're going to go ahead with business as usual while we ponder our legal response." created="Fri, 04 Jan 2002 15:14:31 GMT"/>
			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pearlltd.com/content/investments.html#browser&quot;&gt;Patent Enforcement and Royalties, Ltd&lt;/a&gt;: &quot;It is believed that the patent is being infringed by the many companies building products based on an emerging metadata standard known as the Resource Description Framework (RDF).&quot;" created="Fri, 04 Jan 2002 15:19:51 GMT"/>
			<outline text="That we would be a target of this &quot;enforcement&quot; is the ultimate irony. We are, emphatically, &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; supporters of RDF. However, we do support the power of developers to create open formats and protocols and make their software compatible, even if we choose to not support a specific technology, as we have done with RDF. That's capitalism with ethics. If you want to read more about it, my latest &lt;a href=&quot;http://davenet.userland.com/2002/01/02/whenToGiveAwayTheTechnology&quot;&gt;DaveNet essay&lt;/a&gt;, written before the madness with RDF started, explains it well." created="Fri, 04 Jan 2002 15:21:11 GMT"/>
