Google Deprecates SOAP API
Michi writes "Brady Forrest at O'Reilly Radar reports that Google
has deprecated their SOAP API; they aren't giving out any new SOAP
Search API keys. Nelson Minar (the original author of the Google
SOAP API) argues that this move is motivated by business reasons
rather than technical ones. Does this mark the beginning of the end
for SOAP or for ubiquitous middleware in general?" Forrest's post
quotes developer Paul Bausch: "This is such a bad move because the
Google API was the canonical example of how web services work. Not
only is Google Hacks based on this API, but hundreds of other books
and online examples use the Google API to show how to incorporate
content from another site into a 3rd party application."
Probably, they've heard of our (opensearch's) plot to use a google
API key to provide google results alongside the opensearch results
to ease the transition!
Gr,
Koen

"Project Psiphon has been released for public download under the GPL.
CNN has coverage of the Canadian research project that 'works by first
allowing a person in a country like Canada that does not censor Internet
content to set up a user name and a password for a person in a country
that does — China, for example.' While this idea is certainly nothing
new to Slashdot, the fact that software like Psiphon is becoming
publicly available is interesting. For a quick simplified 'How it
works,' Psiphon has a Flash demonstration." Not a moment too soon,
apparently. China is moving to assign IDs to bloggers, to register their
real identities and track their statements online.

Open-search kick-off workshop
Who controls the information on the internet? While the internet itself
is an open medium, getting access to the information is mostly
controlled by search engines, operated by large multi-national companies
such as Google and Microsoft. These companies have one primary goal:
monetary profit. If this entails manipulating search results, censorship
or disclosing user profiles to governments, they have no reason not to
do so.
All of these problems stem from the fact that these search engines
operate as centralized entities. We want to remedy this situation by
creating a distributed, peer-to-peer (p2p) search engine. This new
approach distributes the crawling agents over users' computers. Crawled
data is indexed and stored in a distributed and redundant manner, to
avoid single-point-of-failure and manipulation. Search queries are
processed anonymously by the network, leaving no central log of whom
searches for what.
This project is part of and funded by [1]the digital pioneers program.
The kick-off workshop will start with an introduction to the project,
and its political and ideological underpinnings. The second half will
revolve around the technology needed to create such a distributed search
engine. The results of this brainstorm session will form the input for a
paid developer, who will describe the architecture and subsequently
start to implement it. Follow-up workshops are already being planned.
We encourage everyone interested to take part in this workshop, either
virtually or in person. This is a community project, a search engine by
and for the people, not by the powers-that-be. See [2]our website for
more details, including how to get involved, chat with us or sign up to
the mailing lists.

Hi All,
It's been a while that we had any issuedrinks, i've been too busy to
pick a date and stuff.
Perhaps we should do an issuefood to close of the year 2007? I'll
gladly invite all of you to my place, in Den Haag that is, providing
that I won't have to do all the cooking. No worries: i have a
dishwasher machine...
How about it? And also: when? Before christmas, or after new years eve??
Gr,
Koen

Microsoft says so:
"Simply opening a word document will launch the exploit. There are
no pre-patch workarounds or anti-virus signatures available.
Microsoft suggests that users 'not open or save Word files,' even
from trusted sources."
