Amazing Kickstarter Project Twine: Cheap and Easy Internet of Things
Nov 22nd
David Carr and John Kestner are hoping to raise $35,000 to “connect your things to the Internet, without a nerd degree.” The project, Twine, promises “the simplest possible way to get the objects in your life texting, tweeting or emailing.” No programming required.
Twine as pictured on the Kickstarter page is a tiny square that has internal and external sensors coupled with WiFi connectivity. According to the Kickstarter page, requires just two AAA batteries that will keep it running “for months.”

The sensors, so far, include an temperature sensor and an accelerometer – with external sensors planned, including magnetic and moisture sensors. A “breakout board” is also planned that would allow users to wire up additional sensors without any soldering. If there’s an easier way to add something to the Internet of Things, I haven’t seen it.
Twine hooks into a Web-based application called Spool. You can use this to set up rules for your Twine. It will send messages based on rules set up through the app. The page shows a screenshot of a rule based on the accelerometer being “knocked” after 7 p.m., to send a Tweet saying “Someone’s at the door.” Based on a few sensors, there’s quite a lot that you could do with the Twine. No word on whether the cloud service will eventually have any costs.
Though one of the selling points is “no programming required,” it’s not prohibited either. Twine would allow developers to hook a Twine into their code with HTTP requests.
If the team, called Supermechanical, meets and exceeds their funding goal then they’ll give Kickstarters the option of voting for more sensors in $10,000 increments. In other words, $45,000 should mean one additional sensor, $55,000 should mean two, etc.
They say that they’ve been working on prototypes, so now the next step is manufacturing. The goal is $35,000 and pledges of $99 or more come with a pre-order for a Twine. Pledges go all the way up to $500 or more, see the Kickstarter page for more.
This does look pretty cool, so I’m hoping it takes off. Not only as a consumer project – I can see this having lots of uses in business as well. The project is set to run through January 3, 2012 and already has nearly $3,500 in backing. What do you think, is the Twine set to the holiday gift of the year, or what?

Microsoft Finally Contributed Code to Samba Open Source Interop Project
Nov 3rd
Five years ago, the complaint against Microsoft brewing before the European Court of First Instance was that it was not contributing enough knowledge about Windows’ source code to let others develop services for it. That didn’t make sense to the European Commission, which openly asked, what good is an operating system if it doesn’t operate anything except itself?
Yesterday, the organization responsible for the Free Software-licensed system of file and print services called Samba – the group that had helped keep Microsoft in court for over six years – acknowledged that a distribution that showed up in Samba’s respositories on October 11 contained interoperability code for Windows from Microsoft itself.

“A few years back, a patch submission from coders at Microsoft would have been amazing to the point of unthinkable, but the battles are mostly over and times have changed,” wrote Samba’s Chris Sertel yesterday. “We still disagree on some things such as the role of software patents in preventing the creation of innovative software; but Microsoft is now at the forefront of efforts to build a stronger community and improve interoperability in the SMB world.”
The change from both sides
“Disagree” is a noticeable toning down from the language Samba employed in its original objections to Microsoft’s business conduct. Sensing a conspiracy to neutralize competition, five years ago next week, Samba published a condemnation of Microsoft’s patent covenant deal with Novell. Alleging the deal was an attempt to divide Free Software proponents from the sources of commercial software that may eventually become free, the Samba team wrote, “The GPL [General Public License] makes it clear that all distributors of GPL’d software must stand together in the fight against software patents. Only by standing together do we stand a chance of defending against the peril represented by software patents. With this agreement Novell is attempting to destroy that unified defense, exchanging the long term interests of the entire Free Software community for a short term advantage for Novell over their competitors.” Novell had distributed its version of the Linux kernel under the GPL established by the Free Software Foundation.
The current version of the GPL makes no such imposition on licensees to stand up against software patents in general, but rather stipulates that the contributor to the licensed software may not impose any patents rights it may have against any user of the software.
The long, long fine
After Microsoft was found guilty of abuse of dominant power in September 2007, it was ordered to freely disclose interoperability code, and to regularly communicate how it was complying with that order with the aid of an appointed monitoring trustee. By March 2009, the EC determined that Microsoft was sharing enough code to render the need for the trustee unnecessary.
But a fine of nearly €900 million hung over Microsoft in the interim, and last May, the company’s objection to the fine was heard. A final ruling on that fine is forthcoming.
Responding to that objection, Samba creator Andrew Tridgell was quoted as saying that while Microsoft had publicly published certain elements of its interoperability code, it had withheld certain mundane parts of the code that the company claimed should be licensed to others only for a fee.
“There is nothing innovative here,” Free Software Foundation Europe quotes Tridgell as saying. “All the innovative bits are either already published by Microsoft’s own researchers, or are contained in the Microsoft program source code – and we have no interest in seeing that. The innovation certainly isn’t in the protocol specifications.”
The fact that the withheld portion of the code was indeed mundane was actually the subject of a 2007 EC objection, which proposed that no company should be allowed to charge money for something that isn’t unique and worthy of protection.
The full extent of what Microsoft did contribute to Samba is unknown, and Microsoft had not provided comment to RWW by press time. But Samba’s Chris Hertel, at least, saw the contribution as significant, and noted the seismic shift in the landscape in five years’ time: “Most people didn’t even notice the source of the contribution. That’s how far things have come in the past four-ish years,” he wrote, “but some of us saw this as a milestone, and wanted to make a point of expressing our appreciation for the patch and the changes we have seen.”
