Dan Gillmor &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/business/columnists/dan_gillmor/ejournal/3284192.htm&quot;&gt;tried&lt;/a&gt; to get into the discussion group, but was turned away. Cory Doctorow works for the EFF and maintains the Consensus At Lawyerpoint &lt;a href=&quot;http://bpdg.blogs.eff.org/&quot;&gt;weblog&lt;/a&gt; to cover the BPDG. He urges us to get in touch with Microsoft, Apple, IBM, Intel, etc and encourage them to keep making the kinds of computers we like, ones that copy our material from our desktops to servers, or include them as email attachments, or move pictures from our digital cameras to our hard drives (or servers) or distribute them through Gnutella. Anyway, I wonder if what's going on in that discussion group is legal. What if I wanted to start a computer or chip or OS company to compete with Intel or IBM or Microsoft that didn't follow their rules? If I can't, it seems they have an antitrust problem. Our legal system is set up so that no group of competitors that form a major portion of a market can meet and erect barriers that keep out newcomers. Intel is not a legislative body, neither is Time-Warner. I am not a lawyer, but if they want that kind of power, it seems they should get the laws changed &lt;i&gt;first. &lt;/i&gt;" created="Sun, 19 May 2002 22:02:23 GMT"/>

		<outline text="I'm back to work on the slideshow stuff. Glad I took a breather. After seeing lots of PowerPoint slideshows at the conference last week, I find the HTML stuff &lt;a href=&quot;http://radio.weblogs.com/0001015/slides/emergingtech/slide0001.html&quot;&gt;functional&lt;/a&gt;, but pretty plain-jane. Then I thought I should allow for the possibility of Flash renderings of slideshows. I need a Radio script that takes an OPML file and turns it, somehow, into a SWF file. Here's an &lt;a href=&quot;http://radio.weblogs.com/0001015/userland/presentations/infoworld.opml&quot;&gt;example&lt;/a&gt;, if anyone wants to give it a try. I think it's actually a pretty important connection.
