On the Web No One Can Agree on the Schema

• "Why the Semantic Web will Fail" responses include "Business Doesn’t Cooperate? Are You Kidding?" and "Why the Semantic Web Marketing Message Has Failed". Which businesses or organisations cooperate internally, let alone externally? Couldn't this have been the same argument as to why TCP/IP, HTML, RSS, XML, relational databases, or any technology would've failed?
• Ajax Anti-Patterns and more includes: reduce polling, not inspecting callbacks, using XML, and reducing work on the server.
• "What's wrong with Ruby?" Suggests that Ruby won't make programming easier and doesn't include a substantially better way of handling abstractions, has non-intuitive operator overloading, and that dynamic modification of code is evil. The real answer is freedom from coding for CPUs.
• "Microcultures and the WII" "When I visit a friend, we listen to a radio station only airing electro remixes of C64 songs, which you can receive on the net. See, its the dude from Kaiserslautern who enjoys electro remixes of C64 songs who is the market of tomorrow." Maybe microcultures are bigger than you think. For all those that dig things like a capella versions of IK+ (the video is interesting).
