border="0"/aU.K. mobile network operator Virgin Mobile has partnered with Yahoo to power search
functions on its re-launched mobile portal. As of December 8, the portal will take on the branding
of its parent company, Virgin Media, and will integrate Yahoo's oneSearch technology./p pYahoo also
said today that it plans to deliver mobile sponsored search results and contextually served
sponsored listings via the portal early next year, and that it is focusing on, "creating the
monetization engine for the mobile Internet."/p pDespite its troubles, the Internet giant appears
to be making decent progress in the mobile search sector, having a href="

11 European Markets. At the time, a Yahoo spokesperson described mobile search as a "key area in
the future of Yahoo."/p pSearch results via the Virgin portal will now include photos from Flickr,
financial data, integrated information from Wikipedia and Yahoo Answers, and downloadable content
such as ringtones and mobile games.br / /pimg

When I profiled the Metropolitan
Life Tower (and an
unusual postscript) a couple of months ago, I mentioned that Daniel Libeskind was working on
an addition to the building that would dwarf the iconic clock tower. New York magazine has
a rendering of what the building might look
like, taken from the architect's new book.
Initial designs show a glass-curtained tube with cutaways spiraling up and around the facade to
reveal segments of terraced verdure, like cultivated patches on the side of a steep alpine slope.
"We didn't just fill up the tower," the architect says. "We've taken space away [from the
apartments] to create the gardens," which are actually balconies tucked within the envelope.
"It's as if nature has come back into the city," he says.

company, who said that the product is being held back until it "work[s] as planned", which
translates to a release "sometime in 2009". Stuff like this is fascinatingmdash;I mean, who can
honestly say they don't want to control a game with their brainwaves?mdash;but little startups like
this can only hold on for so long without bringing a product to market. The price, as far as we
know, is still set at $299. [a

Eric Holder, the deputy attorney general under President Clinton, has criticized the warrantless
wiretapping program. But he wanted to limit encryption use, and his views on other online policies
may not be that far from the Bush administrations.

Mark Pilgrim has a new This Week
in HTML 5 that features a bit new proposal for integrating
HTTP authentication with HTML forms.
A common use for forms is user authentication. To indicate that
an HTTP URL
requires authentication through such a form
before use, the HTTP 401 response code with a WWW-Authenticate challenge “HTML” may
be used.
For this authentication scheme, the framework defined in RFC2617
is used as follows. [RFC2617]
challenge = "HTML" [ form ] form = "form" "=" form-name form-name = quoted-string
The form parameter, if
present, indicates that the first form element in the
entity body whose name is the
specified string, in tree
order, if any, is the login
form. If the parameter is omitted, then the first form
element in the entity body, in tree order, if any, is
the login form.
There is no credentials production for this
scheme because the login information is to be sent as a normal form
submission and not using the Authorization
HTTP header.
Mark then goes on to say:
This idea has been kicked around for more than a decade. Microsoft wrote User Agent Authentication Forms in 1999. Mark
Nottingham asked the WHATWG to
investigate the idea in 2004. Better late than never, Ian Hickson summarizes the
feedback to date. No doubt this new proposal will generate further discussion. No browsers
currently support this proposal.
The idea makes total sense to me. The old HTTP BASIC style of authentication is a dying bread due
to the annoying popup style and implementation. It needs a shake up, don’t you think?
